LILAH: After a storm, I discover a giant hole in the roof of the lovely old brick building I bought a few years ago to house my day spa. I line up a contractor to fix it for me. I swallow my fears of failure and extend my bank loan for the repairs. City government says I need a permit, and I need a building inspector to come out and inspect the property before I can get a permit. Trouble is, not only is the building inspector ridiculously hot, he’s an insensitive jerk. But he’s also an insensitive jerk who can put my dream out of business. What am I going to do? BEN: One look at this old brick shop in downtown Rivertown, and all I see is trouble for the renovators. One look at its owner, and all I see is trouble for my heart. Lilah’s stubborn, defensive, cranky, and suspicious—and the most curvaceous, sexy beauty I’ve ever met. Now I have a decision to make: bend the building codes so she can keep her building, or possibly lose my job. The one thing I’m sure of is that I’m not going to lose her. I’m going to win her.

Carly writes short romance stories as steamy and sweet as a triple-vanilla latte, served extra hot. If you’ve ever wished that a Hallmark™ movie showed what happened in the bedroom—in glorious technicolor detail—her books are for you! Grab your favorite hot beverage and join her for the fun. She loves chai, homemade mulled cider, Riesling and Beaujolais, and vanilla lattes (iced or extra-hot). Carly wrote her first love story at the age of ten, featuring tragic Romeo-and-Juliet deaths, and only much later discovered that she preferred stories where the lovers live, with happily-ever-after endings. She enjoys snuggling under blankets in the winter, and under the stars in summer. Loves kissing Mr. Right in exotic locations, as well as in their very own kitchen. She lives in Virginia with the love of her life and a goofball dog.
