CHAPTER 1
Beth was a strikingly attractive MILF of 52 years who lived in a beautiful ranch style house in East Hartford, CT. She had everything going for here, a nice home, a loving husband, two wonderful daughters, three adorable grandchildren, and a beautiful lifestyle that many would only dream about. Then one day life took a tragic turn for Beth. Paul, her husband, suffered a stroke at work and died suddenly. He was only 60 years old.
Paul's death left Beth shocked, shaken, and grief stricken for months. Even though she was left well off thanks to insurance, life savings, and the fact that she was herself working in a job as a secretary, Beth felt there was an emotional hole in her heart. Without that soulmate to provide love and emotional support, Beth began to wonder if her life had any meaning left at all. There were times indeed when Beth felt like she was doing nothing more than going through the motions.
For months Beth's family tried to cheer her up. They tried taking her to sports events, picnics, even take her down to the Connecticut shore for a nice day of swimming and outdoor fun. But nothing seemed to work. Beth was still in the doldrums over Paul's
sudden death and was finding the transition to widowhood a whole lot rougher than expected.
But as time went on, as summer gave way to fall and then winter, Beth's mood began to improve. Beth was starting to, slowly but surely, get back into the routine of living. Her spirits suddenly lifted, she was happier for the first time since Paul's death.Now Beth was once more enjoying life; shopping with her friends, enjoying the company of her family especially the company of her three grandchildren. Beth, thanks to family and friends, was indeed back to her wonderful and joyous self. For a 52 year old MILF Beth was indeed back and was very much the Beth of old.
And then spring came and a very strange thing happened that would change Beth's life forever.

It was now spring and time to do the yard work. Beth realized that, despite her good health, she could not be able to handle the chore of taking care of a yard of that huge size by herself. And, so, Beth placed an ad in the local paper looking for someone who could help with the lawn.
The ad read:
HELP WANTED
Looking for handsome young man between the ages of 18-23 to help maintain lawn. Must be able to be proficient with lawn mowing equipment. Please call to set up an in person interview.
Two days passed...then three... then four.
Finally, Beth heard her cell phone ring and a voice on the other end answered.
"Hello," the voice began, "are you the person who placed the ad in the paper about having your lawn taken care of?"
