Roxanne (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798245882802)

"Roxanne is a sensual story about a woman who discovers that desire doesn't fade with age - it waits."

"I was done settling for a lukewarm touch. I wanted to be filled, to be wrecked, and to be satisfied."
At forty, Roxanne Sterling is starting over. After eighteen years of the "noise of life"-motherhood, a failed marriage, and grueling shifts as an ER nurse-she's finally alone in her mountain sanctuary in Telluride. Exhausted and sexually frustrated, she's made a "100% or nothing" pact with herself: no more mediocrity, and no more faking it.
But the universe has other plans for her quiet evening. When her vintage Chevy truck, "Big 10," erupts in steam on a blind mountain curve, Roxanne finds herself stranded in the freezing San Juan Mountains with no cell service.

Enter Luke.

He's younger, broad-shouldered, and smells of diesel, pine, and raw male pheromones. A local mechanic who moves with a "predatory grace," Luke doesn't just see a woman with a broken radiator-he sees the hunger in Roxanne's eyes. In the shadows of the looming pines, their interaction shifts from a roadside rescue to a primal claiming. Against the cold metal of her truck, Luke provides the "ruthless" release Roxanne has been craving, delivering the 100% she demanded in a devastating, heart-pounding encounter.

As Roxanne explores this new, fiery connection, her sister Loraine watches from the sidelines of a "perfect" but emotionally dead marriage. While Loraine chooses the safety of her gilded cage, Roxanne chooses the heat.
But Luke isn't finished with his "maintenance." When he shows up at Roxanne's cottage with a bag of watermelon Jolly Ranchers and whipped cream, he proves that he has a very specific-and very delicious-inspection in mind.

In a story of sexual awakening and reclaimed power, Roxanne is a steamy journey for any woman who has ever felt like a ghost in her own life and decided it was finally time to find the fire.
