A midlife passion that rewrites every rule she thought she lived by
- Romance
- Erotica
She had almost forgotten she could still be wanted. Karen Miller is forty-something, a real estate agent who blends into her own life. Her husband, Timothy, drinks with friends and vanishes on fishing trips while she keeps the household running like furniture no one notices. When her bold colleague Sandra drags her to an interstate awards gala, Karen buys a dress she would never have dared to wear at home—and something long buried wakes up. That night she meets Douglas Fletcher, a charming agent from another office who sees every hungry, neglected edge of her. What begins as one reckless evening becomes a secret affair of hotel rooms, late-night messages, and phone fantasies that leave her breathless and terrified. A pregnancy scare and the constant risk of workplace exposure force her to confront an impossible choice: the hollow safety of her marriage or a future built on desire she can no longer deny. But as her double life unravels, Karen discovers she is not the only one keeping secrets—and the betrayal closest to home may change everything. Interstate Awakening is a raw, sensual story of midlife rediscovery, forbidden heat, and the courage it takes to stop disappearing from your own life.
