"Jewel E Ann continues to set a standard not many authors can follow with a poignant, punch-in-the-gut romance that will make you laugh and cry, sometimes on the same page. With storytelling I can only describe as both authentic and original, I dare you not to fall in love with Nate." - LJ Shen, #1 Amazon Bestselling & USA Today Bestselling Author From USA Today & Wall Street Journal bestselling author Jewel E. Ann comes a sexy, unforgettable, and powerful story about unexpected love, sacrifice, and daring to dream again.
Forty-something Gracelyn Glock is living the dream.
No husband.
No retirement plan.
And since her self-imposed man-ban-no need to shave above her knees.
After a tragic accident, Gracelyn inherits her ten-year-old nephew. She signs a lease on a San Diego beach house and learns their neighbors for the summer are a sexy anatomy professor and his young daughter.
Professor Nathaniel Hunt has spent the last decade being a single dad ... and not having sex.
So when he discovers Gracelyn has a peculiar outdoor stripping ritual, a million inappropriate thoughts fill his responsible mind.
When kisses are stolen, man-bans are broken, and summer comes to an end, will hearts stay in one piece and hope stay alive? Or will saying goodbye destroy everything?
