CHANTAL: At my best friend's engagement party, I get stuck in a conversation with a guy who will not stop telling me terrible jokes. I have no idea why I’m laughing. Or why I’m enjoying myself. Blond, cute, and muscular, the guy is my personal dream man. But based on my experience, I’m better off on my own. REESE: I meet her at a party. Prettiest girl in the room, radiating serenity like a stone in the middle of a stream. I do my best to try to engage her in conversation, just to be close to her. But every time I start asking her about herself, she makes an excuse and walks away. Where’s the line between “persistent” and “annoying”? I’m worried I might have crossed it. Do I still have a chance with Chantal?
Author

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.
