Shagging the Fun Phase

Sophie has spent nearly twenty years doing everything right. She married the man she loved, raised two children, built a comfortable life, and learned to appreciate the dependable rhythms of a good marriage. Now thirty-six, she wants one more baby before that chapter of her life closes for good.

Graham says he wants one too.

His behaviour says otherwise.

When Sophie finally accepts that her husband has been quietly avoiding the one thing he keeps promising her, she comes up with a solution that is practical, reckless, and completely indefensible.

Callum is twenty-one, arrogant, infuriating, and very recently her daughter's ex-boyfriend.

He is also useful. Their arrangement is supposed to be simple. Sophie gets what Graham won't give her. Callum gets something he wants in return. Nobody develops feelings. Nobody gets caught. And once Sophie has what she came for, they walk away.

Except Sophie discovers something she wasn't looking for.

Fun.

With Callum, she isn't somebody's wife or somebody's mother. She doesn't have to be sensible, respectable, or even particularly good. For the first time in years, she feels reckless, selfish, and completely alive.

The arrangement was supposed to end when it worked.

But this is smut.
