The chemistry between Starlet and Milo is so strong that they surrender to a night of passion. But when fate brings them together again, what was just a casual fling becomes a forbidden passion. By Brittainy Cherry, *After That Winter* is a moving reunion between two lost young people.
Starlet Evans is an exemplary young woman. Her college grades are excellent, she has a wonderful boyfriend, and everything in her life is going according to the action plan she's always dreamed of—a future her late mother would approve of, she believes. Until, on her 21st birthday, she catches her boyfriend with another woman, and her dream of a perfect life is shattered.
To drown her sorrows and not let this ruin her birthday, she decides to go to a party with a friend, who assures her that the key to forgetting a trashy boyfriend is to find a really hot one. And that's exactly what Starlet does. In fact, she doesn't even mind when he refuses to reveal his name – and the chemistry between them was so strong that everything else was superfluous.
Milo Corti is going through a difficult time. It's been almost a year since he lost his mother, and his father gave in to alcohol and sadness. The young man escapes his pain and loneliness by throwing himself into the arms of random women. But with that birthday girl, things were different, and now she's on his mind. But he has more important things to deal with right now. It looks like he'll fail his senior year of high school unless his new tutor can help him improve his grades.
That's when fate intervenes, bringing these two lost young people together for the second time. The difference is that now they both know that their involvement is forbidden. But how can they resist the attraction they feel for each other after so many hours spent together in the library? What if someone realizes they're connecting on a level beyond what's permitted? If only this were the only drama in their lives... Milo and Starlet never imagined that, after the heat of a passionate moment, such a cold winter would arrive.
After That Winter is the story of an overwhelming passion, but also of true love that arises in the most unexpected places. It's a true lesson about life and trauma that only Brittainy Cherry could write.
