A Nantucket Fling - Paperback

by Kathryn Freeman (Author)

A casual summer fling between a businesswoman on vacation in Nantucket and a young single dad turns into something more in this delightful rom-com from the author of Booked for the Summer.

Olivia is a fiercely independent woman climbing the ladder of corporate finance. But when her family demands she take time off to go to her niece's bachelorette and wedding in Nantucket, she reluctantly agrees.

On the island, she catches the eye of Connor: a handsome, cocky, playboy type--also ten years her junior. Olivia's sisters egg her on, encouraging a summer fling, but she's more interested in catching up on her finance reading. Except...he's funny and sexy, and doing her ego a world of good.

Connor might come across as a playboy because he was one, eight years ago. That all stopped when he became a dad and found himself raising his daughter single-handedly. But this summer, she's with her grandparents for a month while he's in Nantucket, working in a restaurant with the hopes of opening his own one day. His time on the island also provides a rare opportunity: to forget the struggles of being a single dad and become the carefree guy he used to be, who very much enjoyed flirting with the opposite sex. Especially when they're cool, classy, probably older than him, and most definitely out of his league.

As their attraction steadily grows, Connor gets Olivia to relax her tightly held control and indulge in the fling she won't admit she needs. But too soon, the holiday is over and they're back home, living two very different lives. When Connor's presented with an opportunity to see Olivia again, he leaps at it, but this time it's different. He's no longer a charming young playboy but a struggling single dad. A relationship, a family, is not what Olivia wants.

And yet, neither can ignore the intense chemistry that didn't go away after the summer. Are they just a Nantucket fling... or something much more?
