King and Mia arent strangers. Everyone knows everyone in the small Maine town they live in, however, their age difference kept them from traveling in the same circle when they were growing up. Brief glimpses and encounters, a long-distance look, and their attraction was palpable but never acted on because of their marital statuses.
Twenty years have gone by, and this is the first time they are both single at the same time. That freedom allows them to pursue and act on their insane attraction, and nothing holds them back.
Its instant. Its hot. And it changes everything.
