Summary
When my son asks if I’ll rent the spare bedroom to his new friend from work, I figure, why not? The house is too quiet since my twenty-five-year-old baby moved out. I never thought I’d miss the sounds of video games, but apparently, I do.
But that’s not the background noise I get when Hudson moves in. Turns out, my son’s coworker isn’t a like-minded gaming geek. Hudson doesn’t play video games. He works out. A lot.
Now my house is filled with the masculine grunting of a very fit, very handsome, younger man who owns shirts, but isn’t inclined to wear them. Ditto for pants. Everywhere I turn in my tiny house, Hudson is there. Flexing. Smoldering.
I can’t resist looking at him. Or using him for inspiration while I write my current romance novel. Fantasizing about him when I’m lying in my bed.
He’s my tenant. My son’s coworker. A man fifteen years younger than me. Hudson is fodder for my mind, but that’s all he can be… until the night he puts every fantasy I’ve had to shame.
HUDSON
House hunting is a slow process, and hotel living sucks, so I jump at the opportunity to temporarily rent a room from my coworker’s mother. I’m told the place is clean, and the woman is easy to get along with. Perfect.
What the guy across the office doesn’t tell me? That his mom is ten-out-of-ten hot. Single. And sexual, if the sounds seeping through the paper-thin wall separating our bedrooms are any indication.
I’m not a pushy guy, but a man has his limits. Being perpetually hard around her, hearing her moan every night—it’s more than I can take. So I make a move. A big one. And it pays off, in the best ways possible.
Our chemistry is red hot. We connect outside the bedroom, too. I’m only supposed to be here temporarily, but every minute I spend with Laura makes me determined never to leave.

| 0:16.9 | Welcome back, lady listeners. |
| 0:18.8 | Hi, lady listeners. I know we just had a feeling Martina's last week, |
| 0:23.5 | but this is like our first comeback since our two-week break, so it's been nice to catch up. |
| 0:30.1 | We had a chit chat a little before, and this week we have Carla Doyle with Fleshing and Out, |
| 0:35.6 | and she had a little note at the bottom of her bio, which I just thought I should read first. |
| 0:41.6 | It says Fleshing and Out is a spicy older woman, younger man, contemporary and still |
| 0:46.4 | love in the Hope Harbor series of small town romances. So if you want that stick around. |
| 0:53.2 | I like that trope mix up. I know. It's in it, you know what? It tells you exactly what you're |
| 1:00.7 | going to get before you get into it and what more could you possibly want. |
| 1:06.3 | You know, I got an email the other day from this group and I messaged back because I wanted |
| 1:12.1 | to know more information about it, and I can't remember all the details, but the way they sent it |
| 1:17.2 | was there was a link and it was like all their upcoming books. It was from a publisher, |
| 1:22.2 | and it was our upcoming books, things that were going to be on sale, stuff like that, |
| 1:26.1 | and they had it broken down into tropes, and you could sort of read the trope you wanted, |
| 1:31.6 | and you could click and get the book. And I was like, this is fantastic. Why don't we all market |
| 1:38.1 | this way? But that's a lot. It's pretty smart if you want to base stuff on tropes. But I have a |
| 1:46.4 | new book. I haven't started it yet. I just got back from vacation, so I downloaded it. |
| 1:51.4 | But it's the new Jessica Claire one. Oh, that. Yeah, go ahead. It's what the heck's. |
| 1:58.8 | So it's the book too in the series. The first one was great. It's got the narrator in it |
