Say Yes

Serafina Noland has a good life, a son she adores, a supportive family, and a successful career. The one thing she doesn't have is a significant other, a partner to help her raise her son, Petey, someone to love her through thick and thin. Loneliness is often her companion, but she's resigned herself to that and learned to be thankful for the life she and Petey have carved out in their little corner of the Appalachian foothills. While on vacation, she walks onto a Carolina beach and meets sinfully sexy businessman Levi Ewart. He's thoughtful and kind and one of the most handsome men she's ever met. The problem is he's also entirely too young for her, and so far above her in every way possible, her head spins. What can a man like that possibly see in little ol' her? How can she ever trust him not to walk out on her, the way Petey's father did nearly nine years before? Sera's age is never a problem for Levi. His own mother is centuries older than his father, and he's witnessed dozens of couples in similar situations find their happily ever afters. He opens his heart to the reserved Sera and falls hard and fast for her and her son, but his secrets aren't the only things standing in the way of true love. Sera's past is a giant blight on their relationship, eating away at the core of their happiness, and Levi's love may not be enough to overcome her doubts. Getting her to say yes to the future he wants to build with her may be the hardest task he's ever undertaken, and the riskiest venture of his life.
