IF AGE IS ONLY A NUMBER, IS LOVE ONLY A PASSING FEELING? Rahsaan Pearl's main ambition in life is to be happy, but he can't seem to find the woman to help him achieve that goal...until he moves from New York to North Carolina at the invitation of his uncle/father figure, Duke. There he finds the woman of his teenage fantasies...& the girl of his dreams. Sophisticated, eloquent & bitter after a previous relationship went sour, Alicia Hayes is reluctant to hook up with another younger man. But loneliness will get to anyone after being around long enough. When Rahsaan & Alicia become lovers after so many years apart, it's a dream come true. But nowhere in his dreams did he imagine he would ever fall in love with Erica King. Erica never thought she would fall for a man 10 years her senior, either. But Rahsaan is everything she thinks a man ought to be. Her mother, Karen, on the other hand, knows he's everything she doesn't want for her daughter, & that it's just a crush that will pass with time. But is there more to it than that?
