From USA Today and Wall Street Journal best-selling 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 10-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?
