Newly divorced, forty-five, and desperate for a reboot, Carly drops the last of her cash on a self-help seminar. But instead of the promised inspiring message, the speaker tells the audience to find power through lifting up men. Which Carly used to believe…until her ex dumped her for a younger woman.
Carly isn’t the only one who rebels. The four women who walk out become instant friends.
As they’re drowning their disappointment with cocktails, a surprise from Carly’s past walks into the bar. It’s Andrew, the thirtysomething son of her frenemy. He’s handsome, funny, vulnerable, and far too young to make his deliciously shocking proposal.
But Andrew has worshipped Carly from afar for years, fascinated by her beauty, sense of style, and confidence. Now that she’s divorced, he knows fate has brought them together.
Carly’s new friends urge her to accept his forbidden proposal, unaware of the consequences of sleeping with her powerful frenemy’s son.
Letting go of her inhibitions to enjoy a no-strings night with a sexy younger man might be just what Carly needs. Returning to the real world with a secret that could destroy her fledgling career? Not so much.
Crush on this spicy age-gap one-night novella featuring new friendships, bubbly banter, and fantasies come true. Unlike Carly, you won’t regret it in the morning.
