Edie McClure has been without a man too long—six years too long. At her son, Tommy’s eighteenth birthday party, his best friend, Jon, arouses long-dormant feelings in her. To her surprise, Jon seems to share those feelings. She doesn’t feel quite right about it, but there are worse things than being a cougar when it comes to irresistible men.
Jon’s mother, Gwen, is Edie’s life-long best friend. The two single mothers and their boys have been inseparable friends for years. Then Gwen makes a successful and very satisfying pass at Edie and the complications get deeper and wider as their friendship deepens.
If Edie succumbs to her pent-up lust for this hot, young man, how will Gwen react if she discovers the secret? The tension and the heat reach a climax at a pool party Edie throws for Tommy and the heat becomes searing in the weeks that follow.
