Sophie Alexander is about to turn sixty. A milestone in any person’s life, a milestone in a woman’s life. A woman who is alone, without a man. She’s always wanted to find love. Sure she’s loved, many times, just never really loved, never found the one. Sophie believes it’s too late for that kind of love now, after all, she’s about to enter her sixth decade. But an unexpected inheritance from a man she does not know, a man she was kind to a long long time ago, gifts her with a new beginning. A cottage by the sea, her dream. A chance to start a new adventure, a new life. And a man in the form of a grouchy next door neighbor, seven years her junior and hot as hell.
Alex Carter, grouchy next door neighbor, widower with a grown daughter, still mourns the death of his wife over eleven years ago. He’s vowed to never love again. Never to be in a relationship or let anyone in his life. He’s had plenty of women, after all he is a healthy, sexual, handsome man. Sex, flings, a definite yes. Relationships, love, a hard no. That is until a curvaceous, sexy woman who drinks Prosecco, eats ice cream, tempts him with her delicious warmth and moves in next door. Walls that have been built to protect his heart begin to crumble. He cannot stay away from her.
