About this ebook

“Amazing writing makes it all seem so real... Can’t wait for her next book!” 5-star Review

The ride of her life with a super sexy co-driver...

It’s been forty years since Noreen Kincaid spent that carefree summer in the Florida Keys, but she’s never forgotten one steamy second. 

After too many bad relationships, she’s sworn off men, but when she inherits her uncle’s classic red Corvette, memories of sultry nights driving with the top down beside the town’s sexiest bad boy, Cutter Sorenson, return unbidden. On a whim, she decides to drive the vintage convertible from Florida to her home in San Francisco.

Cutter Sorenson never forgot Noreen Kincaid or that summer they shared riding in her uncle’s smokin’ hot convertible. Does she think she’s going to drive off with the Corvette he’s put his blood, sweat, and tears into maintaining for the last forty years? The car he thought would be his when his good friend Mortimer passed on? Not if he can help it. There’s only one thing to do—drive to California as her mechanic, and try like hell to convince her to sell him the car.

But when old passions spark and their nights grow steamier than anything they shared during that Corvette summer, Cutter has to admit she’s the girl he never got over. It’s not just the car he wants, but the woman she’s become. But how can he convince a woman who’s been burned too many times that he’s the man she’s been waiting for?

Snap on your seatbelt and take off for the drive of a lifetime in this second chance holiday romance.

The Once Again series are all stand-alone stories and can be read in any order.

Ratings and reviews

I really enjoyed this story, every book just seems to get better. I think the author does a great job of portraying a female who has lost hope in relationships based on her experiences and she attempts to get back up and try again. In an effort to protect herself from another heartbreak, Noreen has labeled herself, closed off her heart and thrown away that key. I admire Cutter for his tenacity and patience. Excellent heartfelt addition to this great series.
