That Summer

by Candy Caine

Max Turner tries to stop his father from beating his mother and accidentally kills his old man in self-defense. His mother refuses to let him confess to the police and forces him to leave indefinitely. Max makes his way from Arkansas to Texas and is hired by Angie Rawlings, a widow nearly the age of his mother, to help with her farm. Angie teaches him to be a man, but when Max meets a beautiful, black girl named Mallory Washington, he’s smitten and soon realizes he must choose between working for Angie or being with Mallory. Only before he decides, fate throws out another curve ball and turns Max’s life inside out.

About the author

With nearly 200 short stories, several novels and novellas in print, hot and spicy, Candy Caine keeps her husband, Robert, on his toes in their Long Island, NY home. Supportive with her writing career, he’s always willing to help her make certain the scenes in her stories are authentic. After all, technique is so important for good writing. When asked why she began to write, Candy says: “I’ve always loved books and my biggest thrill is to bring the joy of reading to others. That’s what writing is all about.” Candy is the alter ego of Candace Gold. While Candace usually writes the less erotic books, Candy is the one who writes the erotica and does her best to curl poor Candace’s hair.
