The Nudi Alibi — Tina Holland

This story was originally published in Welcome to Effham Falls.  Kathy Balsam just wants to start over.  Her husband ran off with a cocktail waitress and her son left the nest long ago.  After moderate success as a novelist, she decides to open an artist retreat, but a misprint leaves the town believing she's starting a Nudist Colony. Flynn Stewart just wants out.  He's running a failing bar and his clientele is nothing but old fly boys who reminisce about days gone by.   Flynn knows all about getting locked in your glory days. He had a promising career in football before he blew out his knee.  He's done with the past and just wants to move forward.    Kathy and Flynn are thrown together at the same town meeting.  Each decides to help the other so they can move on.  The only problem? Their tangled past might get in the way.
