EXCERPT
Dinner had been great. The salad had been a good starter to the ravioli, which had been cooked to perfection. Now it was time to go their separate ways.
Outside the store, Simone and Cameron said goodbye to their classmates, who waved as they wandered off to their cars at the back of the building. When they were all alone, Simone fell quiet, wondering what to do next. Cameron had stuffed his hands into his pockets and looked off into the distance.
The lights inside the storefront went out, turning the spot where they stood even darker.
Simone cleared her throat. “Well…my obligation to you is over. I should call my driver, but you still have my phone.” She’d been halfway through the meal, talking and laughing at a four-top with the couple they’d worked beside, before she remembered he still held her phone.
Cameron didn’t move, and she sensed that he didn’t really want to leave any more than she did.
“So if I don’t give back your phone, you can’t call your driver?” A mischievous glint entered his eyes.
“That’s right.”
“Huh.” He rolled onto the balls of his feet.
“You’re not planning to keep me hostage, are you?” She tilted her chin in fake indignation.
“Not quite.”
“Then what did you have in mind?”
He stroked his jaw. “Well, you know, we didn’t have dessert.”
“No we didn’t. A meal like that definitely deserves dessert.”
“I was hoping you’d say that.” He grinned, such a sexy smile and one that filled her chest cavity with warmth.
Simone wasn’t just attracted to Cameron. She felt completely at ease with him—her mind at rest in a way that didn’t usually occur when she first started dating other men. Usually there was an awkward stage where she tried to get a feel for their personality, and they tried to get a feel for her. While there was a bit of that, she recognized that she was way more relaxed. Playful, teasing, open with him.
She once heard a comedian say that when you first start dating someone, you meet their “representative.” Only later do you get to know the real person. But Simone suspected that was not the case with him. This was the real Cameron and not his representative. This smiling, friendly, cooking man was the same person today that she would know six months from now. Six years from now.
Her heart tripped over the fact that she was thinking that far in advance about him.
Before she could fully examine her thoughts, Cameron said, “I know where we can get some great tiramisu.”
“Where?”
“My place.”
He answered with aplomb, as if his home were a well-known restaurant.
Pulse rate spiking, Simone played along with his game. “You made it?”
“Not this time. I picked up a nice hunk from a bakery that makes the best desserts.” He kissed his fingertips. “It’s absolutely delicious.”
“That good?”
“It’s criminal.”
“Says who?”
“Everybody.”
Simone giggled. “With an endorsement like that, I have to try it.”
He looked at her then. Really looked at her. While she couldn’t discern his thoughts, Simone guessed he was making his own internal assessment of her.
“You have to come to my house to do that. So what do you say? You want to get some dessert?”
There was much more to the question than the surface, and when he extended his hand, Simone hesitated for three seconds before taking it.
His hand swallowed hers, and sparks flew across her nerves, igniting her skin. They both tightened their fingers at the same time. He must have felt it, too. A strong attraction, a sizzling chemistry blatantly on display since the moment they met.
Simone looked down at their joined hands and the way hers fit perfectly in his, as if made to be held by him. Cameron pulled her in closer so that they almost touched.
“You ready?” he asked in a low voice.
She nodded. She was ready, for whatever would come next.

PASSION REKINDLED
As far as Sylvie Johnson is concerned, her ex-husband used her and left her and she cannot stand the sight of him. Fifteen years after their divorce, her feelings haven’t changed. She wants nothing to do with him—no matter what her beating heart suggests.
Oscar Brooks has always assumed that his ex-wife hates him, but after an unplanned kiss, he’s not so sure. Why does she always have such a hostile response to his presence? Is it love, or is it hate? He’s determined to find out.
This is a short story.
DO OVER
She’s devoted to her daughters.
Years ago, when her cheating husband left, Ella Brooks realized how much she’d changed and wasn’t sure how to get back to the woman she used to be. When she meets Tyrone Evers, the last thing she’s looking for is another relationship, but it turns out that the police detective is just too tempting to resist.
He’s devoted to his job.
Tyrone meets Ella when he’s investigating a break-in at her home, but ends up paying more attention to the wealthy socialite’s case, and her, than normal. After his wife cheated on him, he’s not looking for romance, he’s not looking for commitment, and he’s definitely not looking for love. But you don’t have to be looking for any of those things for them to find you.
And when life gives you a second chance, do you take it or run for cover?

If he knows what’s good for him, he’ll stay away from her…
A few years ago Malik gave up sex and now works hard as a metal sculptor. In doing so, he’s created enough pieces to fill a gallery, and his vow of celibacy has kept him focused. When a major deal falls through, Lindsay makes him an offer he can’t refuse, and all he has to do is pretend to be her fiancé. Sounds easy at first, but after one kiss, he wants more. Then things really get interesting.
