Description

One newly single lady is about to turn up the heat on a Strong brother in this sizzling romance from the national bestselling author of Give Me Fever.
When Zaria Ali married her high school sweetheart, she jumped straight into adulthood. But twenty-one years later, her husband has left her for a younger woman, her kids are in college—and Zaria is looking to make up for lost time. Who says she can't be living la vida loca in her forties? And who says she can't date hot twenty-six-year-old Kaleb Strong . . . ?
Kaleb may be young, but he's mature—and ready to settle down with the right woman. Zaria lightens up his serious side—and turns him on like no one ever has. But is there more between them than just explosive chemistry? The only way to find out is to follow his heart, and show Zaria that when it comes to love, age is nothing but a number . . .

        June 20, 2011
        Bryant continues her popular series about the sexy Strong brothers (after 2010's Give Me Fever) with this serious look at the pitfalls of May–December romance. Kaleb, an impossibly attractive farmer in his 20s, is ready to follow his brothers' example of finding the perfect woman and settling down. Then a chance encounter in a bar results in sizzling sex with someone totally inappropriate: Zaria Ali, a 40-something mom recovering her self-esteem after a bitter divorce. She has no interest in remarriage, even to someone as hot as Kaleb, and when she feels she's getting too emotionally involved, she ends the relationship. Bryant makes it a family affair as the warm and appealing Strongs and Zaria's adult twin daughters try to convince this unconventional couple that their sexual exploits can lead to a happy marriage.
