    About this ebook

    A lonely divorcee living in a tacky development in Dusky Beach, Florida, Theresa Tierney is an educated hick and her own worst enemy. She has a wild streak and a bit of a drinking problem, both leading to a few too many bad choices. When her neighbor’s new roommate arrives, a good-looking body god, Theresa is both curious and disgusted. A brash New Yorker, Vario Fumesti says what he's thinking and looks sexy as hell doing it. The brawny mountain of pumped muscle is mega alpha male. But his frequent hot tub parties with friends from a local strip club fire up Theresa’s anger. In fact, Vario continually makes her feel and do things she isn't expecting. A series of screw-ups, lust, and love set Theresa on a rollercoaster ride that’s out of control and threatening to jump the tracks.

      Let’s Say

      I magine a sticky, early August morning, around three o’clock. It is dark, the moon blocked by clouds, no streetlights, a siren in the distance, medics running to a heart attack. Imagine a man out on a bike or walking a sick dog, or maybe a woman who

      PRAISE FOR AUTHOR

      Mickey J. Corrigan

      AND HER BOOKS

      I certainly hope this author continues to do books…which inspire me to find my hubby for some special one on one time—if you know what I mean! *fans self*

      ~Read Our Lips Blog

      At this point, I’ll read anything by Ms. Corrigan. All her short pieces I have read were vastly different, but no less entertaining.

      ~Hearts on Fire Reviews

      So far I’ve only read three of her books and she is HILARIOUS!! I know I will be highly entertained by her shenanigans. I’m not usually one to read stand alone novellas, but if Mickey J. Corrigan writes it, I’m going to read it!!

      ~Smardy Pants Book Blog

      Mickey J. Corrigan has a rich and unique voice that is comical and heartwarming all at once. I for one will be eagerly anticipating her next story!

      Chapter One

      The Body God

      As soon as he moved in next door, I started drinking more. Things went from lousy to terrible, then they got worse.

      He first showed up on a steamy Friday afternoon while I was weeding the piddling rock garden I had going out front. My face was streaked with dirt, and I could smell last night’s brewskies seeping from my pores. I liked working in the yard the day after I overindulged. It was like a detoxification rite. Here in South Florida, I could detox daily. We don’t get much cold weather in the deep pocket of the Sunshine State, so almost every day was another opportunity to let my poor old body sauna out the booze toxins.

      The car door squeaked when he opened it. I gawked at both him and his sleek little sports car, parked in the driveway next door. Both the man and his BMW convertible were look-at-me types, so I did. I looked. I don’t think he noticed me, though, because I was squatting low behind the sea grape trees that formed a kind of hedge between the two houses. He was talking on the phone, one of those fancy-ass hands-free cells. I could hear everything he was saying, and I will admit, I listened in.

      Tonight’s good, he said in this sexy growl. I’m heading for the hot tub soon’s I unload my car. Come by in a coupla hours. Bring candy and taffy.

      I tallied him up and down from my squat behind the trees. He sure didn’t look like the kind who went for sugar rushes. I would’ve bet a six-pack of Bud Lights the man was one of those purist vegetarians, just by the way he carried himself. Like his body was a holy site. Or a gem on a mound of velvet.
