About this ebook

Manny dedicated his life to his work for more than thirty years. He’s not sure what retirement will hold for him—not sure he’ll be able to slow down that much. But he doesn’t need to figure it out all at once.

He’s given himself a month to ease into the transition. He’s rented a house in the lakeside town where some of his friends live. The house isn’t much, but he plans to take good care of it for the widow he’s renting from.

Whenever he’s imagined how his new life might look, the picture has never included a woman. He’s always thought of retirement as riding off into the sunset … alone.

Nina thought the sun had set on her life a couple of years ago when her husband died, leaving her with a pile of debt and a broken heart.

 She moved away from the lake for a chance at a fresh start. She even went on a date for the first time. But what she’d hoped might be a bright new beginning is overshadowed when both her safety and her job are threatened.

It’s time for her to go home to Summer Lake—the only trouble is, she just rented out her house.

Manny thinks he’s renting from some old lady. Nina thinks her tenant is some old guy who’s retiring. Neither of them expects to find an intruder in the kitchen in the middle of the night, but when they do …

You’ll have to pick up your copy of this heartwarming romance today to see if these two can overcome what lurks in the shadows and ride off into the sunset together.

Ratings and reviews

Oh my word- these two are absolutely perfect for one another. I have tears streaming down my face, what a beautiful ending. As always with SJ's books, I loved this story. You feel everything the characters are feeling, and it kept me reading and on the edge of my seat. I love that in each new book, you get to catch up with characters in past books, and there were so many in this one! But don't worry, it can also be read as a stand alone. I like to read them in order so I can see the characters progress but if you start with this one, you'll still understand everything. I highly recommend this book as well as everything else this author has written, they are all so sweet with the perfect amount of steamy and you cannot go wrong! I want to move to Summer Lake and I cannot wait for my next visit back there.

WOW!! Manny is every woman's dream guy. He is protective, kind, strong, loving, and REAL! Nina has had a tough past and finds everything she has ever needed and deserves in Manny. SJ has done it again! A story of Love and hope. These 2 are made for each other! And the letter Manny wrote...PERFECT! This is a must read! Favorite book of the Silver Series!

About the author

Hi, I'm SJ, a coffee addict, lover of chocolate and drinker of good red wines. I'm a lost soul and a hopeless romantic. Reading and writing are necessary parts of who I am. Though perhaps not as necessary as coffee! I can drink coffee without writing, but I can't write without coffee.

I grew up loving romance novels, my first boyfriends were book boyfriends, but life intervened, as it tends to do, and I wandered down the paths of non fiction for many years. My life changed completely a couple of years ago and I returned to Romance to find my escape.

I write 'Sweet n Steamy' stories because to me there is enough angst and darkness in real life. My favorite romances are happy escapes with a focus on fun, friendships and happily-ever-afters, just like the ones I write.

These days I live in beautiful Montana, the last best place. If I'm not reading or writing you'll find me just down the road in the park - Yellowstone. I have deer, eagles and the occasional bear for company, and I like it that way :0)
