Luc
by J.M. Stewart
GENRE: Contemporary Romance
BLURB:
After her husband’s death two years
ago, erotic romance author Liz Anderson moved home to small-town Angel Bay
to heal her broken heart. So when her best friend fixes her up with a single
father ten years her junior, she doesn’t expect much. But this hot young chef
is igniting her long-dormant passion.
With a three-year-old daughter to raise and a restaurant to run, the last thing Luc Rossi’s life has room for is love. After his fiancée’s betrayal, he isn’t sure he believes in it anyway. His colleague’s matchmaking attempt is awkward at best, but what can he do except play the gentleman? Liz ends up being smart, charming, and sexy, and he can’t resist her.
An offer to teach her to cook leads to a steamy fling, but this gorgeous older woman makes Luc wonder if it’s time to open his heart again. Can he convince Liz that giving their relationship a chance beyond the bedroom wouldn’t be a betrayal of the past she holds dear?

Excerpt:
Something
banged on the wall inside the house, and she glanced at the window beside them
in time to see the blinds fall back into place.
She
rolled her eyes. “Sam’s in there watching us. The rat.”
Luc
chuckled. “Yeah. Has been since we came out here.”
She
eyed Luc as an idea settled in her mind. It would be so easy to tease Sam. Not
allowing the more rational side of her brain to talk her out of it, she leaned toward
him and lowered her voice, in case Sam could hear them inside the house. “I
have an idea. I want to have a little fun with my best friend. A little
payback. You game?”
He
smiled, slow and lopsided. “Oh, count me in.”
Her
gaze dropped to his mouth, and her heart tripped over itself. In about two
seconds, she was going to plaster herself all over those luscious lips. Had she
lost her mind?
She
straightened her shoulders. “Kiss me. Like you mean it.”
For
a moment, he simply stared, and a fierce heat climbed into her cheeks. If he
turned her down now, she’d die of embarrassment.
“I
think I can do that.” He settled his elbows on his knees, meeting her halfway
across the space between them. “Baciami, bella.”
He
leaned closer, his scent drifting across her path. Thoughts of that full lower
lip caressing hers made her tingle, and she suddenly ached to taste him. What
was she doing?
“What’s
that mean?” She needed to think. “The thing you just said.”
He
leaned closer. “Kiss me, beautiful.”
His
warm breath whispered over her cheek, and goose bumps shivered across the
surface of her skin.
“You’re
enjoying this too much.” Although only to herself would she admit that she was,
too.
“I
can’t resist teasing Sam. I also love that you have such a wicked mind.” His
eyes narrowed. “Are you going to kiss me or what?”
