Book Description

At 39, Mercedes (Mercy) Zamora has resigned herself to her singlehood. Not that she’s bitter – with her two partners, she's made a success of her small business, and she has a terrific extended family that includes loads of nieces and nephews. In fact, at this point she's not even sure she’d make a very good wife. Then Benicio (Ben) Vargas, the boy-next-door with whom she had a brief, but highly satisfactory affair ten years before, pops back in her life. Bad enough that five minutes in the man’s presence forces her to admit that no man she’d dated since had even come close to lighting her fire the way Ben did – and still does – but then Ben starts talking about taking up where they left off. And he’s deadly serious. But Ben’s always been a drifter, so why should she believe him now when he says he’s home for good, that he wants to make a life with her?

Especially since she has a very strong feeling he’d not being totally upfront about what he’s been doing for the past ten years he was away. . . From Author’s website
