Be Cool, Jule (A Pine Island Romance)

Description

My friends say I’m a catch who’s afraid to be caught. But Jay Alva has dropped into my life, and my breath stops and my heart beats faster just saying his name. I have to admit, Jay is one of the good ones, a perfect man, dutiful son, respected businessman. But will he ever love me enough?

After all, my life is good. I’m exactly where I want to be, in a cozy apartment on warm and lush Pine Island with a spectacular view of sunsets over the sea. I have great friends and a job I love. And I’m cautious. I learned too much about bad relationships from my swinging parents and a few failures of my own.

Still, Jay is a great man, and I can’t deny the sizzling attraction between us. I’d love to give in, but I can’t forget he’s the widower of the only woman he ever dated. Will she always be between us?

“Be Cool, Jule,” I tell me. “But don’t be cool to Jay. Let’s see where this goes.”
