Men on a Mission Series by Kate Gilead

Cherry Spent my adult life so far moving around, chasing employment, doing work that I hate. Except for my very first job, where I met my first serious crush. A slightly older man... funny, built, sexy and smart. Too bad I was too shy to let on how I felt about him. That was years ago but I still think of him all the time. These days I’m lonely, broke, still a shy, anxious person and frankly...? I think I must be the oldest virgin in town... moreCherry Spent my adult life so far moving around, chasing employment, doing work that I hate.
