All Grown Up
A new, sexy standalone from #1<i> New York Times</i> Bestseller, Vi Keeland.<br /><br />When I first encountered Ford Donovan, I had no idea who he was...well, other than the obvious. Young, gorgeous, successful, smart. Did I mention young? If I did, it bears repeating. Ford Donovan was <i>too young</i> for me.<br /><br />Let's back up to how it all started. My best friend decided I needed to start dating again. So, without my knowledge, she set up a profile for me on a popular dating site--one that invited men ages twenty-one to twenty-seven to apply for a date. Those nicknamed <i>Cunnilingus King</i> were told they'd go straight to the top for consideration. The profile wasn't supposed to go live. Another point that bears repeating--it wasn't <i>supposed</i> to.<br /><br />Nevertheless, that's how I met Ford, and we started messaging. He made me laugh; yet I was adamant that because of his age, we could only be friends. But after weeks of wearing me down, I finally agreed to <i>one date only</i>--my first after twenty years of being with my high school sweetheart. I knew it couldn't last, but I was curious about him.<br /><br />Though, you know what they say...<i>curiosity kills the cat</i>.<br /><br />My legs wobbled walking into the restaurant.<br />Ford was seated at the bar. When he turned around, he took my breath away.<br />His sexy smile nearly melted my panties.<br />But...he looked <i>so familiar</i>.<br />As I got closer I realized why.<br />He was the son of the neighbor at our family's summer home.<br /><i>The boy next door</i>.<br />Only now...he was all man.<br />I hadn't seen him in years.<br />I left the restaurant and planned to put the entire crazy thing behind me.<br />Which I did. <i>Until summer came</i>.<br />And guess who decided to use his family's summer home this year?
