Kat Henry Doran/Veronica Lynch: Sweet Summer Surprise by Sadira Stone

She came to the beach to find herself—and found him.

Today, Wild Women Authors focus on Sweet Summer Surprise: A Steamy Age Gap Beach Town Romance, book 5 of the Trappers Cove Series, written by Sadira Stone.

About the Book: Previously published as Gelato Surprise, this older woman/younger man summer romance features Danielle who, after her cheating ex lures their kids away for a vacation-palooza with his new squeeze, leaves her with a non-refundable beach rental in Trappers Cove. Glum and lonely, she settles in to lick her wounds—and some sinfully delicious gelato. Enter Matteo, the ice-cream vendor’s hunky nephew. Mamma mia! The gorgeous younger man is charming, seductive, and utterly undeterred by their age difference. Maybe a no-strings fling is just what she needs.

What starts as a steamy summer escape soon flares into something neither of them expected. Their chemistry sparks hotter than the Fourth of July, and for the first time in forever, Danielle feels truly seen and cherished. But a divorced mom with real-life responsibilities can’t afford to live in fantasyland, and Matteo’s future is in this perfect beach town. The clock is ticking. Matteo has two weeks to convince her their summer love is the start of a happily ever after.

A Short Excerpt:

Like a scene from a Fellini movie, everything around her slowed and blurred as his gaze slid down her body, then back up to her eyes and lingered for a long, breathless moment. His glossy eyebrows flicked up in a cheeky salute. “Welcome to Paradiso, signora. Tell me, how can I serve you today?”

With his ice cream scoop, he waved toward the Italian ices. “Something tart to soothe the heat? Limone or mandarino? Or perhaps something richer.” He leaned onto the glass case and rested his perfect cleft chin on his fist. “Cioccolato fondente? Zabaglione? Tiramisu?” Rolling off his tongue, the words sounded far more like seductive foreplay than dessert options.

She swallowed hard and tugged her collar away from her suddenly sweaty chest. “Uh—so many choices. I can’t decide.”

His teasing smile widened, slow and sure. “Place yourself in my hands, bella. Just tell me how many scoops and let me surprise you.”

She was helpless to resist. “Okay. You choose. Two scoops, please.” She cleared her throat and found a bit of courage. “I place myself in your expert hands.”
