She's forty-eight, divorced, and feels invisible. He's twenty-six, an artist, and sees everything she's trying to hide. The problem? He's her best friend's son.
Diana spent three years after her divorce shrinking herself to fit into the background. She built a successful boutique, but her personal life is nonexistent. She's convinced her prime is behind her, and passion is a memory she's not allowed to revisit. Until a gallery opening changes everything.
Marcus isn't the gangly teenager Diana remembers playing video games in his mother's basement. He's twenty-six now—tall, broad-shouldered, and looking at Diana with a hunger that makes her knees weak. He's a photographer who captures raw beauty, and he's decided that Diana is his ultimate muse. He doesn't just want to date her. He wants to worship her.
Diana knows all the reasons she should say no. The twenty-two-year age gap. The gossip. The fact that his mother is her oldest friend. But Marcus is relentless. He challenges her insecurities with every click of his camera and every touch of his hands, showing her a version of herself she thought was lost forever: powerful, sensual, and undeniably alive.
But when their secret affair threatens to go public, Diana must decide: retreat to the safety of invisibility, or own her desires and claim the love she deserves?
Experience Required: Marcus is a steamy, emotional, reverse age gap romance featuring a confident younger hero, a heroine rediscovering her spark, and plenty of spice. No cheating, no cliffhangers, and a guaranteed Happily Ever After.
