And Now There's You

Leila Brandt lost her husband--her perfect match--to cancer five years ago. Now still single and squarely in her mid-fifties she copes with her profound loneliness by channeling her energies into her interior design business and close circle of grown children family and friends. Her formula works until she meets Ayden Doyle an arrogant but hypnotically appealing architect at a new client's home. Ayden has been divorced for twenty-five years and is open about his aversion to commitment and the family obligations that go along with long-term relationships. He's also had significant experience with wooing women and Leila gets to know firsthand that he's very good at it. A little too good. Still despite her reservations the astounding chemistry between them is impossible to ignore and she finds herself beginning to fall under his spell. Ayden meanwhile finds Leila unlike the younger women who have occupied his time in the past and is drawn to her intellectual depth style creativity sense of humor and sexual allure. Leopards may not change their spots--but if anyone can tame the beast it will be Leila.
