Kicking Up Steam

Mandy Varoni has sworn off men for all of eternity. You would too if you'd had your heart broken, and your life shattered, the way she did. It was no surprise to anyone when Mandy picked up and moved across the country to start her life over. As a school teacher, she quickly develops a love for all of her adorable third grade students, focusing all of her energy on them. She particularly has a soft spot for one, sweet little boy who has recently lost his father.

Nathan Tyler is successful, funny, athletic, strikingly handsome, and happily single. He also happens to be a devoted uncle, dedicated to helping his older sister raise her young son after a family tragedy.

Through a mutual love of sports and an adorable little blonde boy, Mandy and Nate's lives begin to intertwine. While they are both reluctant to settle into any sort of relationship, the sparks igniting between them cannot be denied. With some convincing from her best friend, Mandy finally decides to let go and have a little bit of casual fun.

Mandy and Nate's chemistry and sexual compatibility move beyond casual fun. Until they soon realize they are in over their head when their relationship, and a precious little, blond haired conflict of interest, are thrust into the spotlight.
