This is book one in a series, but it is a stand alone novel. There are no cliffhangers. Pure hearted Katarina Cross has a simple life plan; finish school and find a job. Everything is on track until Damon Noble walks onto the scene. He’s the sweetest confection she has ever laid eyes on. Standing in for a friend who runs an escort service, Kat agrees to accompany one man for one night. How hard could it be? All I have to do is smile and look pretty. After his last girlfriend left a bad taste in his mouth for commitment, Damon nixes the idea of a relationship. He simply orders and pays for what he needs. Why ask for the full menu when you can just order dessert? A chance meeting, a book club and a penchant for dessert will change everything. "Life is uncertain. Eat dessert first." -Ernestine Ulmer-
