Second True Love

At an age of twenty-five, I was finally ready to explore the world. I was free. Out of my mother’s grip. Out of Cherrywood. I never expected my new world would revolve around a grumpy forty-year old single-dad. I was supposed to be a short term tenant in Keith’s loft. I wasn’t supposed to roam in his house, asking him to make me cinnamon latte, and become friends with his daughter. And most of all, I wasn’t supposed to fall in love with Keith Adams. But if there’s one thing I know how to do, it’s break the rules. Keith wants nothing to do with me. He’s still mourning the wife he lost years ago, and the ice around his heart is thick. He claims he doesn’t want love, and definitely not from a girl fifteen years younger than him. He says I need to figure out my life on my own. But I’m gonna show him I can be what he needs. Even if he doesn’t know yet. I can be his second true love.
