Richard by Katie Dowe

A sexy over 40s romance by Katie Dowe of BWWM Club.

Collette Sutherland’s life is a picture of success and control, but beneath her polished exterior, her heart bears the scars of betrayal.
Now in her forties, childless and single, she faces a difficult healing journey.
Years after her sister shattered her world, fate intervenes in the form of Richard Drake—a wealthy entrepreneur who’s supposed to be just another client but ends up being so much more.
Despite his own reservations about romance, Richard finds himself drawn to Collette’s cold demeanor.
And what starts as a strictly professional relationship slowly morphs into a tentative romance, pushing both to face their past hurts and fears.
Just when it seems like they might have a shot at something real, old fears and family dramas threaten to derail everything.
Can Collette and Richard handle the heat?
Or will their pasts burn their chance at true happiness?
