They seem destined for happiness—but the truth can’t be left behind for long.



Jen Fletcher is grateful to have a job. Any job. Even the boring, daily grind as a courier. Except for Thursdays, when her regular route swings through the swanky side of town, and she gets to flirt with Suzanne Dixon. A dark-haired beauty who dazzles in everything from sweats to business suits. Whose briefest touch sends heat racing through Jen’s body.



For those few precious minutes, Jen can forget she’s an ex-schoolteacher. And an ex-con.



Three years into widowhood, and Suzanne is finally ready to move on. No one is more surprised than she is that it's a mild-mannered courier who jump-starts her mind—and libido. Confident, sexy, a little masculine, Jen is an oasis in Suzanne’s otherwise dreary week.



When Suzanne boldly asks Jen out, Jen can’t bring herself to reveal her past right off the bat. But she didn’t expect their relationship to become so perfect, so fast. Inevitably, the truth comes out. By the time they realize they’re falling for each other, the rift between them may be too great to repair . . .



Contains mature themes.
