Macon by Olivia Stephen

Macon
They say time heals all wounds. But no amount of time is enough to recover from this. So, I simply exist. Eat. Work. Sleep. Repeat. Most people consider it pitiful, but they haven’t experienced such a massive tragedy. It’s all I can manage.
Until her. The young, single mom hired to be my new assistant. With knowing eyes, luscious lips, and a hellfire attitude, she challenges me in a way I find all too attractive. I’m shaken both in mind and body.
Suddenly, life is more complicated. And I don’t like it at all. Until I do.
I never wanted a second chance at love. But sometimes fate has other plans.

They say time heals all wounds. But the emotional trauma I suffered at the hands of a man I thought I loved was difficult to mend. So, I took my daughter and started a new life.
Working full-time for an irritable, ill-tempered boss is nearly all I can manage. But he challenges me in ways I find all too attractive. Now, my mind and body are warring over the man I’m beginning to understand more than I ever wanted to.
Suddenly, life has taken a turn I’m not sure I want it to take. And I’m trying not to like it. Until I do.
I’d always hoped for a second chance at love. Maybe fate is on my side this time.
