She’s anxious to leave the resort town to finish grad school in Chicago. When Quinn Laughton, a hunky contractor renovating the Wrigley mansion, offers to buy the crumbling diner, she can’t resist his sexy, down-to-earth sweetness. But Sadie returns to Chicago and discovers Quinn is really a member of the prestigious Wrigley family. Sadie’s unsure if it was her or her family’s legendary diner that attracted Quinn. To convince Sadie of his intentions, Quinn mixes up a batch of passion and romance for her. But will Sadie’s small town sensibilities be swayed by Quinn’s big city charm?Tricia Quinnieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02359436964542780815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25455577.post-18848859274217427502013-05-15T05:52:55.431+10:002013-05-15T05:52:55.431+10:00This comment has been removed by the author.Tricia Quinnieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02359436964542780815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25455577.post-54264628874340709752013-05-15T04:38:56.338+10:002013-05-15T04:38:56.338+10:00*Forgot to add on: thank you Nicola and Flo for th...*Forgot to add on: thank you Nicola and Flo for this crazy rare (and equally crazy generous) opportunity.

And, as if that were not bad enough, she is about to be jobless, homeless and loveless. There is one man Marisol is hot for, but he is a colleague and she has a very strict no-dating-a-coworker policy. After all, once burned, twice shy.<br /><br />Chef Leo Quintero’s mouth waters – while other parts of him spring to attention! – in the presence of Marisol. She is smart, beautiful, and curvy in all the right places. When she refuses all of his invitations, Leo realizes he must find other ways to tempt this beauty -- he will tempt her palate and her senses until their mutual surrender.Maria Ferrerhttp://www.marializaferrer.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25455577.post-37839713536110849202013-05-15T00:09:07.353+10:002013-05-15T00:09:07.353+10:00Leigh Hart
