Synopsis
After
too many bad decisions in romance, Emma is going on a man-fast. For the next
six months, she’s fasting from men. No sex. No dating. No soulful gazes. No
fond memories of her first crush. She’s going to spend the time focusing on her
career, getting in touch with herself, and helping her two best friends with
the launch of their new tea room. No men.
And
that includes her brother’s best friend, Noah Hart, who has just returned to
their hometown.
She
doesn’t want Noah anyway. He might be even hotter than he was before, but he’s
not a nice guy anymore. He’s made a fortune by acting ruthless in business, and
the last thing he’s looking for is small-town domestic life. He doesn’t even
want to be in town again, but a sick grandmother guilted him into it. Then he
has nerve to not even recognize Emma when he sees her again. Maybe it’s been
seven years, but a decent guy would remember his best friend’s little sister.
Noah is
not a decent guy. Anyway, Emma is on a man-fast. And she doesn’t want Noah.
At all.
Fifteen
years ago, three girls were thrown together because their brothers were best
friends. Now they're all grown up, and their brothers are grown up too. The Tea
for Two series tells their stories.
Excerpt
“No matter what you think, I’m not a little girl anymore.”
She had
no idea why she was saying this. She was just rambling, too nervous to think
through the words that were coming out of her mouth. And she was seriously
having to hold herself back from reaching out toward him, taking hold of his
shirt and pulling him closer.
He
smelled so incredibly good. Not anything as strong as aftershave, but something
warm and expensive.
She
wanted to smell him even more.
She
wanted to feel him.
She
wanted to taste him.
She
wanted to…
He
reached out and tilted up her face so she was looking at him. “I know you’re
not a little girl, Emma.”
Emma.
He’d
called her Emma.
“You
do?” she whispered, the world shuddering in front of her eyes.
“Damn
it, Emma,” he rasped thickly, raising his other arm so he was holding her face
in both hands. “Surely you know I’m seeing you as anything but a little girl.”
She was
trembling now, and there was absolutely no way she could hold herself back. He
was holding her face like she was precious, and the look in his eyes…
So
filled with heat and hunger. She’d never seen anything like it.
She
grabbed onto his shirt like she’d always wanted to and drew him even nearer,
and then he was finally, finally kissing her.
Naturally,
she was kissing him back.
His
mouth was hard, hungry, seeking, and he slid one of his hands down her back
until it was cupped around her bottom, pressing her more snugly against him.
Part of
her mind registered that he was already hard, and the knowledge whirled dizzily
in her mind—the knowledge that she could have this kind of effect on his body.
Noah
Hart’s body.
He
stepped her backward until she was trapped between him and the railing of the
front steps. They were on a public street. In front of her building. Anyone
could see them. But the knowledge just made the whole thing even hotter, even
more exciting.
She
clutched at him eagerly, arching against him as his tongue delved deeper into
her mouth, claiming her completely. The fingers of one hand were fisted in her
hair now, and it felt possessive, thrillingly dominant.
She’d
imagined herself in this position many times, but her dreams had never been
like this. They’d been adolescent, foolishly romantic. Not hungry and carnal
like this.
Raw.
Primitive.
As if
only each other could slake their desperate thirst.
