Gladys Johnson had never taken a risk in her whole life. She did all the things she was supposed to do when she was expected to do them.
When her husband dies suddenly and leaves his secrets for her to find, she suddenly feels adrift, angry, and uncertain of her place in the world.
Getting on the road in an RV to travel cross-country, she goes in search of the something that seems to be missing from her life.
Nothing surprises her more than actually finding it.
This is a part of my "Over 50" stories but has become too large for the short story anthology. I needed to move it to it's own book. I hope you like it!

"The rumors were wrong, I'm into brunette." Then he moved her closer to his body, his warm breath cooling her body. "I finally settled it Sam, the two of us are going to be together." He whispered as he eyes started getting droopy. The sedative had started hitting him. "Right, you still love me right?" She sought to reassure him and moved her lips against his throat, then gently nipped a vulnerable hollow. "You still want to play Cara?" His voice reverberated against her mouth, and she felt rather than heard his soft husky laughter when she shook her head in silent negation. Then his quietly voiced, "Sleep easy Cara," sent goosebumb scudding in numerous directions to places they had no right to invade. She lay thaere, unable to make a sound.

In the quiet, gossiping corners of small town Grantford, Pennsylvania, secrets are hard to keep and even harder to survive. Rose Winward has fought for every inch of her education. Between two jobs and a hard-earned scholarship at Darwin State, she's months away from the finish line. She has a plan, and it doesn't include distractions―especially not the gorgeous, silver-tongued professor standing at the front of her lecture hall who's twelve years older than her. Professor Roman Whitlock is everything he shouldn't be: dominant, alluring, and completely off-limits. As the heir to the university's biggest donors, Roman is used to the rules not being for him. But even he knows that Rose is a line he shouldn't cross―not when a single scandal could rock the town and destroy her future. From the moment their eyes meet, the air sparks with a dangerous hunger. One touch could cost Rose her scholarship. One reckless night could cost Roman his career. But in a town where everyone is watching, the "wrong" choice has never felt so right. In this game of forbidden desire, are they willing to risk everything for a love that could burn them both? ✎ 📈 HIGHEST RANKINGS: ☻ #1 in #university | 12/02/2024 ☻ #1 in #goodgirl | 03/13/2025 ☻ #1 in #forbiddenromance | 01/23/2026 ☻ #1 in #student | 01/24/2026 ☻ #1 in #teacher | 01/30/2026 ☻ #1 in #rich | 02/08/2026 ☻ #1 in #steamy | 02/28/2026 ☻ #1 in #maturethemes | 05/14/2026 ☻ #1 in #waitress | 06/08/2026 ✎ 🚨 PLEASE READ THE DISCLAIMERS/CONTENT WARNINGS/TROPES PAGE.
