Kick Start: A Later in Life Romance
"The thing is... I'll be fine if friendship is what's best for us."
"What if you could be better than fine, Kick?"


After my world imploded eight years ago, I fought my way out of the darkness—opened a popular coffeehouse, raised three amazing kids, regained my health. But the pains of the past still haunt me.

Then Professor Thomas Harrison walks into my café. He's six feet of chiseled grumpiness in a suit. When a vandal threatens my livelihood, Thomas sticks around to give his statement while making sure I'm safe. He floors me by asking sincere questions about my life and health, attributing them to his career in genetic research. Except no one does this. Ever.

Despite our scorching chemistry, I keep him at arm's length. Thomas makes it clear his work is his priority. Then there are the secrets. I can tell he's hiding something huge, only I can't put my finger on what it is. It's clear he has as little time for "extracurricular activities" as I do.

Add to that my secret and how much I like that he's unaware of the old me. I only know that when Thomas is around, my world makes sense again. He might be the key to helping me start over, but first I must put my past to rest.

Kick Start is book one in a slow burn, seasoned, steamy Romance trilogy with all the feels. The story ends with a Happy For Now with an overarching plotline.

About the Author

Kallyn Jones returned to her roots as an author after enjoying a career as a brand specialist. She brings the same passion to dive into unique stories as she writes about her sexy, down-to-earth characters and their offbeat families. She delights in finding heroes and heroines in unusual places. She believes the happily-ever-afters that are fought for the hardest are also the sweetest.

An autoimmune warrior for most of her life, she’s also a mom to an autoimmune kid. She champions those who often find themselves flat on their backs, for days or weeks at time, through no fault of their own. The Southern Oaks series is dedicated to them.

Kallyn lives in her adopted hometown of Raleigh, North Carolina, with her own hero, their three sons, and a dog. In her spare time, she enjoys trail walking, digital painting, and testing out new, “healthy” recipes. She’s proud to say her fellas usually like these experimental dishes. Usually.
