Love's Awakening

Thirty-year-old Celia Hall is falling in love with a man she dares not pursue, and at exactly the wrong time. Celia knew that life after having her baby would be different, especially since her husband did not love her anymore. But Celia never expected post-baby life to be this difficult. David, her husband of three years, is in a coma that turns into a vegetative state. Oliver, David’s twenty-nine-year-old son, is forced into the awkward position of revealing David’s secrets to Celia.

Celia and Oliver share a perfect, passionate kiss that they cannot stop thinking about. Plus, they can help each other in ways no one else can. They try to build a friendship, but their growing attraction gets in the way. Can Celia and Oliver move past the taboo of their attraction and find their path together?

EXCERPT:

Celia tried her best not to think about Oliver. About that kiss. She and David had been missing that connection, that spark, but Celia refused to dwell on the realization. She had been caught up in emotion. She did not have that type of connection with Oliver—with her own stepson. No way, no how.

However, the fact remained that Celia still felt Oliver’s warmth, Oliver’s awed eyes on her breasts, Oliver’s pained voice when he talked about the children. A curious swooping pull had begun between Celia’s legs during their kiss and had yet to evaporate. It lingered, barely there sometimes, more there other times. Celia was tempted to laugh. Barely two weeks after having a baby, she should not feel any stirrings of desire.
