Publisher's Synopsis
He's got the skills to please most women for a night, but will they be enough to convince the classiest lady he's ever met to let him be a part of her future, especially when she's determined to be independent and free?
She's finally ready to be free.
Aspiring author Beth Berne has spent her life faithfully taking care of others as part of a picture-perfect life on the sunny West Coast. It's been a rewarding life, but also all-consuming. She has traded weekends and evenings of writing for grading student work and supporting her husband's career. When her husband cheats on her with a younger woman, she uses the end of their 30-year relationship to transform her life. She takes early retirement, sells the house, and moves from San Diego to the outskirts of Santa Fe to write the stories that have lived in her imagination for years. To succeed as a writer, she'll need to learn to put herself and her dreams first, something she's never been able to do for long.
He's finally ready to commit.
Contractor Chris Johnston, or Can-Can, as his buddies call him, has enjoyed women all his life, as long as they don't expect anything beyond a good--and brief--time with him. He keeps his independent life simple and as drama-free as possible: running his business, hanging out at the club, riding his motorcycle, checking in on his mom, sisters and daughter a couple times a month, and taking care of his dogs. When a classy, smart, silver-haired writer moves into his neighborhood, he's suddenly wondering whether his life is simple or simply lonely. To convince Beth to give a bearded, blue-collar biker a chance at something more than a good time, he'll need to learn to put her first, something he's never truly done for anyone.
Wild Love is a sizzling, low-angst, stand-alone romance featuring two mature, intelligent people in their 50s, who unexpectedly find themselves falling head-over-heels in love with their opposite.
