The Real Thing
A Novella
Recognizing the real thing when it finds you.
When bestselling author Marissa Harrison meets Keaton Ross — her son's charismatic colleague — at a family celebration, she tells herself the spark between them is harmless. A little flirtation. A midlife flutter. Nothing more.
But Keaton isn't interested in harmless. And when fate keeps pushing them together, Marissa is swept into a once-in-a-lifetime passion that challenges everything she thought she knew about love, desire, and the limits of her own heart.
Torn between the safety of the life she's built and the dangerous pull of a man far too young — and far too determined — Marissa must decide whether to walk away... or finally reach for the real thing.
A sensual, emotional, age-gap romance about second chances, impossible choices, and the kind of love that refuses to let go.
