ROXANNE

"Roxanne is a sensual story about a woman who discovers that desire doesn't fade with age - it waits."

"I was done settling for a lukewarm touch. I wanted to be filled, to be wrecked, and to be satisfied."
At forty, Roxanne Sterling is starting over. After eighteen years of the "noise of life"-motherhood, a failed marriage, and grueling shifts as an ER nurse-she's finally alone in her mountain sanctuary in Telluride. Exhausted and sexually frustrated, she's made a "100% or nothing" pact with herself: no more mediocrity, and no more faking it.
But the universe has other plans for her quiet evening. When her vintage Chevy truck, "Big 10," erupts in steam on a blind mountain curve, Roxanne finds herself stranded in the freezing San Juan Mountains with no cell service.

Enter Luke.

He's younger, broad-shouldered, and smells of diesel, pine, and raw male pheromones. A local mechanic who moves with a "predatory grace," Luke doesn't just see a woman with a broken radiator-he sees the hunger in Roxanne's eyes. In the shadows of the looming pines, their interaction shifts from a roadside rescue to a primal claiming. Against the cold metal of her truck, Luke provides the "ruthless" release Roxanne has been craving, delivering the 100% she demanded in a devastating, heart-pounding encounter.
