As I stand on the sands of St. Augustine Beach, my life as a single mom and aircraft mechanic is a relentless whirlwind. Love? It's a luxury I don't have time for.But then, one electric night in his hot tub changes everything.Hawk is a young Navy guy- captivating, mysterious, and too hot to resist. We agree it's a one-night stand.But fate, with its playful irony, keeps bringing us back together.I realize he's too young for me. My new nickname is 'The Cougar.'But each accidental meeting ignites a deeper passion, intense and all-consuming.Then he's gone, called back to duty aboard a ship, leaving me with a life-altering secret. The knowledge weighs on me, a secret pact made to to not burden him, to honor our agreement.Yet, as I navigate motherhood and work, his absence is a constant echo of love too profound to ignore.Our paths are divergent, our lives separate, but my heart knows I love him.Our baby girl is a testament to a night that was anything but ordinary.Will we find our way back to each other?
