Doctors Camille Anderson, Ph.D. and Gregory Matthews MD are two people who wouldn't normally have crossed paths, but they meet as strangers in a bar after each has a rough day they're looking to forget. A couple of drinks, conversation, and a little flirting results in both throwing caution to the wind with (a sexually-safe) anonymous one-night stand. They connect but leave their night of passion in the hotel room. Until the day they discover they are next-door neighbors. Now they will find out if a one-night stand could lead to love and the happily ever after they were seeking.
Two people in search of a diversion from their lives meet at a hotel bar. After drinks and conversation, they wind up spending a passionate yet anonymous, night together. They go on with their lives never to see each other again until they wind up as next-door neighbors.
Now they will find out if a one-night stand could lead to love and the happily ever after they were seeking.

You have such a way with Romance. Reminds me of some of my favorite movies like "Somethings Got to Give" and "Book Club". Keep writing stories that show sexy ladies over 50 as "Still a Chick" in lit and then make MOVIES!!💋
