Erotic fantasy writer Eva Mercy is suffering from a major lack of spice in her life when her former flame, award winning author Shane Hall, bursts back into her world 15 summers after their initial meeting. As troubled teenagers, they spent one intense week together. Now, Shane is a sober school teacher and Eva is attempting to keep her chronic pain under control while she juggles writing with being a single parent. Can their spark last beyond a feverish fling or will their painful pasts get in the way?
This is a steamy romance that features elements of drama, such as addiction, neglect, and violence. This book shines a light on chronic pain and the difficulty of managing pain through life, even as a successful person like Eva. The connection Eva and Shane share is magnetic, making the reader hopeful that they will end up together.
Star Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Favorite Excerpt: “And maybe that was what real, adult love was. Being fearless enough to hold each other close no matter how catastrophic the world became. Loving each other with enough ferocity to quell the fears of the past”.
