<\/p>\n
When I first encountered Ford Donovan, I had no idea who he was\u2026well, other than the obvious. Young, gorgeous, successful, smart. Did I mention young? If I did, it bears repeating. Ford Donovan was too young<\/em> for me.<\/p>\n Let\u2019s back up to how it all started. My best friend decided I needed to start dating again.\u00a0 So, without my knowledge, she set up a profile for me on a popular dating site\u2014one that invited men ages twenty-one to twenty-seven to apply for a date. Those nicknamed Cunnilingus King<\/em> were told they\u2019d go straight to the top for consideration. The profile wasn\u2019t supposed to go live. Another point that bears repeating\u2014it wasn\u2019t supposed<\/em> to.<\/p>\n Nevertheless, that\u2019s 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 one date only<\/em> \u2014 my first after twenty years of being with my high school sweetheart. I knew it couldn\u2019t last, but I was curious about him.<\/p>\n Though, you know what they say\u2026curiosity kills the cat.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n My legs wobbled walking into the restaurant. <\/p>\n Add to Goodreads<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Sign up for Vi\u2019s\u00a0MAILING LIST<\/a> today and be notified when it goes live!<\/b><\/b><\/p>\n Like texts better than email?

\nFord was seated at the bar. When he turned around, he took my breath away.
\nHis sexy smile nearly melted my panties.
\nBut\u2026he looked so familiar<\/em>.
\nAs I got closer I realized why.
\nHe was the son of the neighbor at our family\u2019s summer home.
\nThe boy next door.
\n<\/em>Only now\u2026he was all man.
\nI hadn\u2019t seen him in years.
\nI left the restaurant and planned to put the entire crazy thing behind me.
\nWhich I did. Until summer came.
\n<\/em>And guess who decided to use his family\u2019s summer home this year?<\/p>\n
