When I move home from college, my friends had scattered. Luckily, I turn a corner to find a new coffee shop, a new book club, and engaging new friends. And through an accidental on-the-spot focus group, a gorgeous older boyfriend. Shane is unbelievably sweet with me, taking charge of every situation and caring for me almost aggressively. The way he touches me sends brand new tremors through every nerve. It’s shocking how much I crave his attention, and every single touch. I’ve never felt so close to anyone before. Those arms, thick from years of metalwork, make me feel so safe. But he doesn’t really seem like a people person with anyone else. Can I keep my overbearing family from ruining things? My snobby brother Glen has a way of getting in my business, and the huge family affair of his “pre-engagement” party is happening far too soon. I need to keep him and my father away from Shane, or at least make Glen stop calling my boyfriend the “scrapyard guy.” Meanwhile, I’m finishing my new stationery design project and getting the promotion I need to get my own place, while falling in love for the very first time. It will take a lot of tea and several pages in my new proto-type journals to figure this all out. ***This steamy & sweet, funny novel has no cheating or violence, and of course, a Happily Ever After... And not just in the book club’s discussion!Please click the author’s name for the email list and website. less

Finding love through an old car named Doris, a tech conference, and the desire to fit like a puzzle piece. I like my quiet life as a librarian, yet after hearing Claire gush about her new boyfriend, I can’t help but feel a pang of envy. But I’m too busy trying to earn extra money to fix my poor old car to concentrate on that. Then Milo appears, wanting to fix all of my problems. I likely shouldn’t let him, but every time our skin makes contact, I seem to lose my mind for a while... moreFinding love through an old car named Doris, a tech conference, and the desire to fit like a puzzle piece. I like my quiet life as a librarian, yet after hearing Claire gush about her new boyfriend, I can’t help but feel a pang of envy. But I’m too busy trying to earn extra money to fix my poor old car to concentrate on that. Then Milo appears, wanting to fix all of my problems. I likely shouldn’t let him, but every time our skin makes contact, I seem to lose my mind for a while. He acts like I’m the only woman in the world for him, even though we’ve just met. Whisking me away to a weekend conference isn’t just so that he can listen to my ideas. It’s a whole lot more. He’s heart-wrenchingly sweet, and the way he cares for me so completely is surprising. Craving his warmth, his touch - it’s a totally new, wild feeling that I would never have expected. Although I feel incredibly close to him, it will take some time to open up. But Milo seems to think that we’re a done deal already. Can I let him know that I need more time without him feeling rejected? And if I cross a line so early on, will he be able to forgive me? I’ll need a chat with the book club girls to figure out what I’m thinking. Perhaps I’d be better off if I stop trying to be clever and just try to... be. ***This steamy & sweet novel has no cheating or violence, and of course, a Happily Ever After...
