In Love with a Younger Man by
Cheryl Robinson
At
forty-three years old, Oleana Day feels restless. She just needs change, and a
direction. She’s found it in Matthew Harper. He’s smart, financially stable,
drop-dead sexy, and has no baggage.
There’s just one problem—he’s 18 years younger,
and he’s full of surprises. But what unfolds between them is something neither
would have guessed—an unexpected romance about coming to terms, coming of age,
and fighting for the love of your life. What do you do when you think you've
married the wrong person?
