Sexy & Divine (Fine Wine, Simply Divine #2)
Kay Stewart

She’s too sexy to be in the hands-off category.
Avery has loved the same man since she was ten years old, but she realized the hard way that love’s not always enough. Her top priorities are her two sons, who light up her life and make every day better. She has an excellent job teaching first grade and loves what she does, but she can’t shake the feeling that she’s wasting time hoping for something that’s never going to happen. Instead of wallowing, she fills her spare time in all the wrong ways and one right one. Joining Fine Wine, Simply Divine wasn’t supposed to fill a void in her life, but in the blink of an eye, that’s exactly what it did.
He’s too proud to take a chance.
Brandon has made the kind of mistakes in life that haunt a man until the very end. While his demons are different now, he owes everything to the woman who saved him from himself. Without her, his life would look far different than it does, and for that, he’s forever indebted to her. He tells himself that he’s maintained the illusion of indifference for her, but it’s getting harder and harder to ignore what’s never truly gone away.
Avery and Brandon have a past that they can’t escape, but when that past combines with tragedy, they put everything else behind them to do what they need to do. Avery struggles with the flood of memories that plague her every day. She leans on her book club to help her through, but she knows there’s only one person who can truly help her. Can Brandon get past his demons to be the man Avery needs, or will he punish himself for his discretions until it’s too late?
Although this book can be read as a stand-alone novel, I recommend reading the books of the "Fine Wine, Simply Divine" series in order so that you can fall in love with the characters from the very beginning.
