Before Last Night

Garrett
Lusting after an older woman so far out of my league we aren’t playing the same game has driven me out of my mind for months. She has no idea I exist and I have no clue how to change that. Until a chance encounter on the street gives me an opening I never thought possible. One night together strips away more barriers than our clothes. But as the sun rises above the horizon, so does Lexi from my bed, and any hope I had of making her mine vanishes in the light of day.

Alexandria
Thirty-six. Single. Divorced. Childless. Before last night that’s how I described myself. Betrayal ripped away my dreams, and the men I’ve dated for months aren’t helping my dark mood. The future is bleak until a broken-down car and one night with a younger man leave me irrevocably changed. I shouldn’t want Garrett the way I do, but in his arms, I feel things I’ve never felt and see a future I thought lost—I just need to be brave enough to take it.
