Back Cover Blurb
Can an older man be
everything Krista’s been looking for?
Krista Michaels’ dating life has been
non-existent since her divorce a year before. When her best friend
steps in and declares it’s time for a night out at the newest
May/December hang-out, The Gentleman’s Club, Krista enters a whole
new world and lays eyes on a man who leaves her
speechless.
Neil Clark likes younger women and
having a good time. Krista catches his attention right away, From
their first conversation, he can tell she isn’t a woman to simply
play with. One problem: Krista isn’t interested, or so she says.
But Neil isn’t about to let her slip away.
Krista’s heart and mind battle it out
as Neil does his best to win her over. But they have one huge
difference in what they want out of life, and Krista isn’t willing
to give up her values, not for a man, not for money, not for
love...

There are so many people in my life who
help me each day. From those friends who sit and listen to me talk
about writing and publishing, to those who give me advice. My
editors who push me with each book to improve my writing. Behind me
is a whole team and I’d be lost without them.
A quick shout out to The Wolfe Pack,
the best readers’ group out there.
Of course, my family. I couldn’t not
thank them. My husband who continues to support me with each book.
He encourages me to keep trying, even when I think I want to give
up. To my kids who let me write and tell their friends their mom is
famous. It’s nice to be famous in their eyes.
Krista stared at the dimly lit
building. From the outside, it looked like any other club. A square
brick building with no windows. So why was her heart ready to beat
out of her chest?
She rubbed her sweaty palms across the
cloth seat in the car and turned to her friend. “I feel like a
loser. Like I’m coming here with daddy issues.”
Jamie raised an eyebrow as she dropped
her lipstick into her purse. “We’ve been over this so many times.
No one here is going to think that. It’s a club for younger women
who like older men and vice versa.”
“
Yeah, but—”
“
No buts. Older men are hot.
Stop over-thinking and live a little. Now let’s go.” Jamie pushed
her car door open without giving her another glance.
Krista wasn’t sure about
this. As she climbed out of the vehicle, she couldn’t help but
wonder,
what if this place only has old
men—like old, old men
. Not those hot
fifty-year-old men you see in movies and such. But the wrinkly ones
with canes. Not that there was anything wrong with that; they just
weren’t her type.
Jamie stood in the parking lot with her
hands on her slender hips. “Come on, Krista, before all the good
ones are taken.”
Might as well go through with it since
she was already here and dressed up. Krista jogged to catch up with
her friend. At the entrance, a big man stood there in the classic
get-up. Sunglasses, a black shirt, and tight jeans. He was hot and
Krista wondered if she could stay out there with him because he
looked more like her type.
“
Good evening, ladies. I
need to see some I.D.” He held out his hand.
She dug hers out of her wallet and
handed it to him. He glanced at the I.D.’s, smiled, and gave them
back.
“
Enjoy your evening.” He
paid them no more attention and promptly spoke to the two women who
had been behind her.
Jamie looped her arm through Krista’s
and they were on their way to what felt like the unknown to
Krista.
Inside was dark as expected, but there
was just enough lighting so she wouldn’t trip over anything. There
were a lot of women there. Apparently her friend wasn’t the only
one with a thing for older men.
There was a small dance floor to her
left, but it was mostly set up with various lounge areas. A
contemporary feel flowed throughout with black leather sofas, red
and white throw pillows, and chrome décor. The bar sat in the
center of the room, and Krista was thrilled when Jamie led her in
that direction.
A female bartender, who was
surprisingly dressed conservative in a white button down blouse,
greeted them. “What can I get you?”
“
Two sex on the beaches,”
Jamie said.
“
Suck up.” Krista leaned her
back against the bar and glanced around. She didn’t see a man
anywhere without a young, beautiful woman at his side. Next to the
attached women, she felt like she was wearing a paper sack. Not a
man looked in her direction. “I bet all the good ones are
taken.”
Jamie twirled a lock of her blonde hair
as she checked out the men. “Why do you say that?”
“
With the amount of women in
here, any man without one at this point must be a
loser.”
“
Or he’s just waiting on the
right woman.” Jamie winked.
The bartender returned with their
drinks. Jamie told her to leave the tab open.
“
Now what?” Krista asked as
she picked up her beverage.
“
Let’s find somewhere to
sit, drink a little to lighten our mood, and go from there. This
doesn’t need to be planned out.”
“
This is so stupid.” Krista
took a sip of her drink. “It feels like we’re waiting for some man
to find us attractive and want to talk to us. It’s just
weird.”
Her friend sighed. “Live a little.
Jeez. How well has it been working out with the men your own
age?”
Jamie had a point. Dating had been
non-existent. “But still,” Krista protested
halfheartedly.
Her friend glared at her. “If you want
to leave, I’ll give you my keys. I’m not going to force you to
stay.”
“
I might.” A deep masculine
voice sounded from behind them.
A shiver swept down Krista’s
spine. Her heart rate sped up and it felt like slow motion as she
spun around to see who had spoken to her.
Oh. My. God!
She laid eyes on one of
the most gorgeous men she’d ever seen. He put George Clooney to
shame.
“
Would you gorgeous ladies
care to join me?” He motioned toward an empty couch.
“
We’d love to.” Jamie smiled
and looped her arm through Krista’s.
Krista attempted to speak, but no words
were forming as she was led over. She expected Jamie to sit next to
the sexy man and keep him for herself, but instead, her friend left
a gap for Krista to sit in the middle.
“
I’m Neil.” He took a sip
from his drink. The light gold liquid flowed to his lips and Krista
found herself jealous of the glass.
“
I’m Jamie, and this is my
friend Krista Michaels.”
Why the heck did Jamie just
given him my last name?
Neil rested his glass on the armrest.
He was at ease and in his comfort zone as he straightened his light
blue tie. “It’s nice to meet you both. First time here?”
“
Yes. Though it’s a
relatively new place. Have you been here much?” Jamie crossed her
legs.
“
A few times. I’m friends
with the owner.” His gaze stayed on Krista.
She stared back, mesmerized by him. He
had dark hair with slight streaks of grey at the temple. Not too
much, just was the right amount. Perfect. Like him. Now if only she
could speak, she might get somewhere.
“
What do you do for a
living?” He spun the glass around with his fingers.
“
We’re both teachers,” Jamie
answered.
His eyes widened. “This must be your
favorite time of the year. Summer vacation.”
“
It is.” Jamie poked Krista
in the side.
Krista nodded since for whatever
reason, her mouth still wasn’t working.
“
Are you always so quiet?”
Neil smirked. A tiny dimple formed on his chin. She loved a man
with dimples.
“
Usually she won’t shut up.”
Jamie giggled. “What’s up, Krista?”
“
I love your name by the
way.” His blue eyes locked on her.
Speak. Mouth move.
“Thank you.” She finally managed a
word.
He took a long drink then set the cup
down on the table. He sat back, pulling one leg up and resting his
ankle on the opposite knee. “I’m going to be frank. When I see
something I like, I go after it. And I like what I see, Krista. Are
you single?”
His bluntness caused a wave of pleasure
to ripple though her. “I am.”
“
I’m attracted to you very
much, but I don’t want to waste my time if you don’t feel the
same.” He paused, staring at her with a longing in his eyes.
Finally, he moistened his lips. “That isn’t entirely true. If you
weren’t interested in me, I’d try harder. I don’t like not getting
what I want, and I want you.”
Her heart raced to a speed
she was worried might put her in a panic attack. Never had a man
simply told her the extent he wanted her. Was she expected to
answer him? And if so, what should she say:
Yes you can have me right here however you want?
