A Few Kisses Ago

An age-gap romance novel about risk, reinvention, and choosing your moment. When Sandesh Prasad started working at the downtown Los Angeles law firm, Tasha Jefferson was the receptionist. She was beautiful, she was smart, she was fun, she was married. And Sandesh was a few years younger, so he might not have had the nerve to ask her out anyway. He settled for being her BFF … for nine years.

When they both landed in Century City, it got easier to see each other. So easy that after a particularly bad day at his office, when he was so late for their meetup that he couldn’t believe she was still there waiting, Sandesh’s kiss hello didn’t land on Tasha’s cheek. And she didn’t say, what do you think you’re doing. Instead, when he suggested a walk, she said yes. Then he kissed her again - this time on purpose - and there was so much ‘yes’ that neither of them could imagine saying ‘no’ ever again.

But there was her ex-husband, and her child. There was the age difference. There were his parents, who wanted him to settle down, but not in L.A. There was his absolutely awful job, and the co-worker with bad ideas. Sandesh and Tasha would have to get through a lot to make that ‘yes’ last forever.
