Slippery When Wet

An underloved widower. Her younger, sexy, CEO neighbor. The move that changes more than her address...

Moving to a new neighborhood is never easy. But after Aaron’s accident there wasn’t a choice. He’s a stubborn man, a hard-working man, and now he’s a disabled man. Marriage is never easy, either, especially when we got married so young. We both traveled down different paths, and what we both wanted then isn’t necessarily what we both want now. A new friend helps me see that, but he also helps me see that I deserve those things that I still want. It may be too late. Lots of things I think I’ve grown too old for suddenly come to light when Dalton shows me what I think I’ve missed out on. He also shows me that I haven’t missed out, that my time is coming. He also comes to my rescue one night when both Aaron and I are helpless. Sometimes the kindness of strangers can be severely underrated.

Kathy, my girlfriend, there’s something up with her. Amelia, my new neighbor, sees right through her, and helps me pick up the pieces. Her husband I’m not sure of. Never met him, but he watches me when I walk her home one night. There’s something up with him, too. When I learn that our paths crossed once before, it makes Amelia see me in a whole new light. She’s almost ten years older than me, but she acts as though it’s more like a hundred. What she doesn’t realize is that she’s incredible, beautiful, intelligent as hell, and she is no more outdated than I am in so many ways. It takes a tragedy for her to see that, and it takes a miracle for her to believe it. And it takes a hard lesson from me for her to learn that everything happens for a reason, and it’s more than just Aaron that brought her to me…it’s fate.
