Peter Sommars is fifteen, and what he needs is a little more independence. Which is why he'd like his mom, Carol, to start dating. He even knows the perfect man - Alex Preston, his best friend's dad. As it turns out, Alex is interested, but Carol's doing everything she can to sidestep his pursuit, which only makes him - and the boys - more determined. Alex can't deny how he feels drawn to Carol - and how deeply he is falling for her. But will she ever feel the same way about him?
