Let it Rain

Grant writing wasn't part of Cassie Jameson's pro-bono marketing contract with the nonprofit JoCo Water Project. But they all but guaranteed her cooperation when tattooed science teacher Lucas Bailey made the ask.  A hookup with the nonprofit's hottest volunteer would violate her professional ethics, but working closely with Lucas on the grant is tempting Cassie to mix business with pleasure.  After six months of collaboration, Cassie and Lucas road trip across North Carolina to a college town in the Blue Ridge Mountains to present their grant proposal.
Coinciding with spring break, Lucas is ready to blow off some steam and have a little wholesome fun in Boone, finally getting to know his grant writing partner better.  Mother Nature is not on their side, however, forcing them to make the drive in a major rainstorm, and throwing plenty of obstacles in their way. Do Cassie and Lucas make it to Boone with their mutual attraction intact or does their burgeoning connection get washed away in the floodwaters? contemporary romance; midlife romance; over 35; women over 35; friends to lovers; forced proximity; bi women; bi men; bisexual romance; queer books; novella; short read; quick read; north carolina; road trip; just one bed; ADHD; middle-age
