Publisher Description
Ever hear of wanderlust?
Every other weekend, Stella buys a ticket on the next flight out of town and leaves her life behind. Home is a place with too many memories, and departure is the sweetest possible distraction.
As soon as she arrives at her destination, Stella visits the airport bar. She orders a drink and waits for the right guy to come along. A bored businessman, a backpacker, a baggage handler just off shift. If he's into a hot, no-strings hookup, he's perfect. Each time is a thrilling escape from reality that gives the term layover a whole new meaning.
When Stella meets the enigmatic Matthew in Chicago one weekend, she hits some serious turbulence. Something about him tells her she's not the only one running from the past. The connection between them is explosive, and for the first time, one taste is not enough for Stella. But returning to find a gorgeous man waiting for her is the easy part—facing the reason she's there is a whole other matter….
"Hart's beautiful use of language and discerning eye toward human experience elevate the book to a poignant reflection on the deepest yearnings of the human heart and the seductive temptation of passion."
—Kirkus Book Reviews on Tear You Apart
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In this nontraditional emotional romance, Hart (Dirty) writes more of sorrow than love. Stella Cooper uses her access to free airline tickets to roam airport bars, pursuing her private life of finding one-night stands free of identities, feelings, and repercussions. Stella is a remarkable character: a divorced mother struggling with the challenges of a teenaged son, a troublesome ex, and the pain that she carries from a past that brought her to a cold, isolated present. Hopeless and unwilling to ask for help, Stella attacks herself and everyone around her with an unforgiving attitude. Her escapist habit leads her to Chicago, where she meets Matthew, who can help heal her pain, but though there is the suggestion of hope in the resolution, little is done by Stella to earn such a prize. She receives far more understanding and forgiveness than she offers the world, and her story is wrenching but unsatisfying.
