About This Book
The thing about Thor is, he's great at swinging that hammer. But he doesn't settle down.
Harlan Kristiansen may not be good at many things, but he can sure catch a pass. He's an All-Pro at charming a room, too, and then there's that Norse God thing. He can even figure out how to tackle a woman and save her from a charging bison.
On skis.
What happens when you drop that game-winning pass, though, and your house is too big, too weird, and too empty? When your dad's a mean drunk, your mom took off a long time ago and stayed gone, and all your money can't keep your little sister safe? You fall back on what you know, that's what. Hey, somebody has to swim in the shallow end of the pool.
Jennifer Cardello is good at lots of things. She knows how to get the most out of the cheapest cuts of meat, how long after the expiration date you can still use any food, and how to be indispensable to her employer. And as for faking an orgasm? She could win an Oscar. But surely a woman who's been trying to fade into the background for more than half her life so she doesn't have to hear the whispers, a woman who's lost her mom, is losing her job, and is sending her baby girl off to college—and trying to figure out how to pay for it—is entitled to one unforgettable night.
In thirty-four years.
With a great guy she never has to see again.
Until old secrets get dug up, and new ones are born.
After that? It's anybody's guess.
