BOOKED & TEMPTED: A Later-in-life Fresh Start Romance
At 48, bestselling romance author Amara Bennett is done with deadlines, done with drama, and definitely done with distractions.
When a broken publishing contract nearly burns her out, she escapes Chicago for sleepy Blue Harbor, Florida. She plans to recharge and sip wine alone... until a wrong turn leads her straight into Booked & Barrel and the arms of its irresistibly rugged owner.
Roman West is fifty, quietly rebuilding his life after twenty-five years as an NYC firefighter. He's traded chaos for dusty paperbacks and aged wine until Amara strolls in, all curves, confidence, and curiosity.
Their chemistry is instant. Electric. Deliciously grown.
What begins as flirtation over first editions and vintage red wine quickly turns into steamy glances and the kind of touch that lingers longer than the last page of a cozy book. But when Amara's past comes calling, will their passion be enough to rewrite their futures?
A swoon-worthy later-in-life romance about second chances and discovering that the best love stories happen when you're brave enough to turn the page.

A beautiful love story!
This was so good. A lighthearted love story that left me smiling. An excellent introduction of Sable Janay. I look forward to reading more from this author in the future.

Seasoned Love!
What a beautiful, mature, heart warming love story. It was short, but relatable. I enjoyed it from beginning to end. Thank you, Sable Janay.
