Avery and Jake meet at a local hot spot, where their playful connection sparks. Jake, a bodyguard with a musical talent, and Avery, a creative spirit working at her parents’ bookstore, both grapple with career choices, family expectations, and the complexities of relationships. Jake’s stubbornness and Avery’s determined personality test their connection, as well as a some threatening personas who add tension to their lives. As they navigate their challenges, the chemistry between them intensifies, turning what starts as lighthearted banter into something far more steamy—an irresistible force neither can resist. Excerpt: “I’m Avery, by the way.” “Jake,” he offers with a brief nod. “So, what did you say to him?” I ask, tilting my head slightly. “When you whispered in his ear?” “Nothing but the truth,” he mutters, his gaze slipping away from mine, clearly avoiding the question. “That’s it? That’s all you’re going to give me?” I press, intrigued and determined. “Yep,” he answers quickly, the finality in his tone leaving no room for further inquiry. “Do you think if I had told him I wasn’t actually drinking, he’d have left me alone?” Jake glances my way, his brow tightening in confusion. “It’s just club soda and lime,” I explain, tilting my glass slightly. He nods slowly, letting the information sink in. “Honestly, I don’t think anything would’ve deterred him.” “Except you,” I point out, offering a small grin. With a humble nod of agreement, Jake shifts on his stool, the faintest trace of amusement flickering in his eyes. I can’t help but find his reaction a bit of a tease, and now, more than ever, I’m determined to make him smile. |
