Whoops: Nobody's Perfect

WHEN IS LOVING THE WRONG PERSON THE RIGHT MOVE?

Tassie Collins has had no luck in love in or outside the bedroom. She’s about to give up when, on an innocent errand, she finds her mother’s lover Tom crying in his workshop. She only means to comfort him, but sparks ignite, and…

Whoops…

They make passionate love. It’s far beyond what Tassie felt possible between a man and woman.

They agree it can never happen again, which by this point means for a fourth time. Oh well. No one is perfect.

Tassie soon moves to California, firmly putting their affair behind them. Despondent over having to give up Tom, she hides in plain sight, feeling love will never strike again.

A year later, Tassie learns Tom has committed suicide. Was it his guilt over their affair that took him over the edge? After returning home for Tom’s memorial service, she tries to unravel this mystery with the help of her sister and Tom’s son Wayne.

Tassie can’t help but see in Wayne what she saw in his father, and this is a problem. Her sister Maureen is in love with him.

Whoops again?

Not exactly. Sometimes going a little too far is the only way to find your way back.

This is definitely a mature read intended for adults. Though it's a standalone novel, Tassie’s story picks up again in LOVING WOOD: A SILICON VALLEY LOVE STORY.
