Just Ten Seconds. That’s all it took for my life to change forever.<br/><br/>I left my posh life in Manhattan and escaped to the Hudson Valley in hopes of a fresh start. It wasn’t until I happened upon a bereavement group when I finally found a place I felt understood. I told them my husband was dead when, really, I was the one who had died inside. It was also where I saw the smoldering gaze of Dean Delgado, the single father whom I’d helped just days before.<br/><br/>Just Ten Seconds. That’s all he wishes he had with his late wife.<br/><br/>Despite Dean’s widowed status, he has a robust thirst for life. He’s a protector and a giver. A man who fixes things with his hands, is devoted to his child, and wants to spend his days with me. I try to avoid him, knowing a woman with my past has no business being in this man’s life. With every run-in, he makes me laugh. With every touch, he ignites me. And with every second, he makes me feel like myself again.<br/><br/>Just Ten Seconds. That’s all it took for me to fall in love with Dean Delgado.<br/><br/>I'm in too deep and my secrets are about to be exposed. I only hope he can forgive me for the lies I never meant to tell.
