Drift — Steph Campbell; Liz Reinhardt

There's no way Lydia--oldest and most responsible of the tight-knit Rodriguez clan--is going to let her nosy family find out about the uncharacteristic work screw-up that landed her a paid suspension. To keep busy and avoid panic, she enrolls in a life enrichment class. The first guest speaker is a handsome artist with a wicked smile and eyes that melt right through her. Even the “ice princess” can't help but feel an immediate spark that lights her blood on fire. Isaac Ortiz is unquestionably the sexiest man Lydia has ever met. The talented son of a famous Spanish artist, he's constantly moving from one new glamorous city to another, working if and when the muse visits him. He also has a stare that makes Lydia's heart race and hands that look more than capable of making her scream with pleasure. She shouldn't be attracted to this free-spirit who makes all his own rules--but she is. There's just one hiccup....Isaac is nineteen. Lydia has lived her entire life firmly inside the box, and being with a younger man is definitely outside the safe confines she enjoys. So why can't she stay away from him? And why is she seriously considering his proposition to take off to a place she's never been...just because? When Lydia is invited back to work with a cleared name, she should be overjoyed. But the reality is, Lydia doesn't know what anchors her life anymore...or if she wants to be anchored at all. Should she travel the world with Isaac? Or continue down the road that she's worked long and hard to pave for herself? Choosing one means losing the other, and Lydia isn't sure if she's ready to drift with the current that's pulling her by the heart.
