The Edge of Discontent

After that kiss—Trudy’s hand went to her lips, unconsciously—she could no longer pretend it was a simple attraction. Even now, she longed to know him more. The way he tasted was intoxicating.

Thirty-seven-year-old Trudy Allen has just taken stock of her life and realized that she had been right all along. Being a grown-up sucks. Just as she’s resigned herself to giving up on finding any excitement in her life, an ex-co-worker shows up. And Matthew Kelly is more than willing to show her all the things she is missing out on. The only problem is Trudy’s husband and kids.

Never mind that her husband barely pays her any attention, and to her kids, she might as well be nothing more than an alarm clock and an ATM. They are still her family, and she’s made a commitment.

But with a very handsome and persistent Matt constantly showing up in her life, awakening feelings she’s ignored for so long and speaking words no man has ever said to her, it’s kind of hard to ignore the attention she’s been craving, even if it is from another man.

Can she continue to ignore his advances, or will Trudy give in and ruin what’s left of the life she’s built for the last eighteen years for a man she barely even knows?
