Karen Pattonโs life is falling apart. She signed divorce papers, quit her job, and moved back to her hometown into an apartment that couldnโt feel less like home. With two weeks of free time before she starts work at the Half Moon Bay Public Library, sheโs crawling the walls, trying desperately not to miss the man who chose his career over her.
When an old college friend invites her to Italy for an impromptu wedding, she jumps at the chance to focus on something other than her own misery.
Tate Patton is doing his best to ignore the divorce papers that just landed on his desk. A rational, reasonable man would sign and be done with it. Instead, he seizes upon a wedding invitation to do something completely impetuousโignore the papers and fly to Rome.
When they lay eyes on each other, the sparks fly as hot as the first time they met. Maybe the more mature versions of themselves can fix whatโs broken. Their love is too strong not to tryโฆ
Warning: Contains intoxicated one-night stands with an almost-ex-husband (which may or may not result in an accidental baby), and sneaking around to hide naughty goings-on from friends. Itโs not technically illicit, but delicious fun all the same!
