Holding Cynthia (Romancing The Coast #2)

Antony Jacobson first held Cynthia Donohue in his arms at a wintry December wedding. Four months later, the statuesque, enchanting woman continues to haunt his thoughts.

Cynthia is about to move to the West Coast to be closer her daughter. Arriving in her new city, she steels herself to cope on her own. When she finds Antony waiting at the arrivals gate, a wave of gratitude and desire floods through her.

A lifetime of independence hasn’t prepared Cynthia for a submissive role in a relationship. For all that she craves love, romance, and someone to share sunsets, deep down she believes her dreams are childish, the hopes of a much younger woman. That’s fine: indomitable, handsome Antony is prepared to wait.

She is tired and aching beyond all memory so Antony takes charge. Very quickly, he realizes there is something wrong, very wrong, with Cynthia’s health. He insists that she see a doctor. She says he is overprotective. He agrees he is. He is also determined to look after her if she won’t look after herself. After a trip over his knee, Cynthia is shaken to the core by her desire for him to do it again. More importantly, she agrees that he may be right about seeing a doctor.

Is Antony too much, too soon, or is he just what the doctor ordered?
