Mother's Day Inn
Lee Jacquot
A guarded single mom meets a younger lifeguard who's determined to tear down every wall she's built.
Description
I had everything under control until I met Theo.My life was simple, straightforward, and clean. I thrived in my career, improved daily at being a single parent, and disguised any not-so-ideal parts of my life pretty well. Like the fact I carried more than a few insecurities my ex-husband left me with. The biggest being the simple notion that I was one of many options, and my idea of love was ridiculous. I knew it only existed on the big screen or in the pages of books, but I still wanted it. Still yearned for it. Still hoped that maybe, somehow, I’d find it. Never once did I think I’d find it in the lifeguard nearly ten years my junior. Theo plans to dismantle everything I thought I knew. He wants to rip down every wall I have and rebuild it with just four words.
