Freshly divorced and nearing forty, Meg regrets making all the safe choices. When her best friend needs surgery, Meg puts her accounting career on hold to run her friend's racy adult toy shop-but her vanilla life never prepared her for this!
At thirty-two, Zak leaves the tech world for his dad's antique store, wanting time with him before dementia erases his father's memories. He's Meg's landlord, but she becomeshis confidante, distracting him from his troubles with her suggestive puns and amusing misadventures.
Flirty banter leads to test-driving toys together, but Meg knows they won't last. Their age-gap puts them in different life-stages and she lives in Toronto. A few afternoons of delight can't change her life. Can they?
Afternoon Delight is a stand-alone, slow-burn to steamy, neighbors-to-lovers, older woman/younger man romance. No cliffhangers,no cheating, just laughs, chemistry, and heart.
