Synopsis
I look at him and my body reacts in a way that it never has before, even in the throes of passion. I look at him and I start aching so deep inside it takes all I can to think, to breathe, to speak. He’s like the brightest flame and it takes everything in me to resist its call.
I know that if I give in, I’ll get burned so deeply, there might be nothing left once I come out the other side.
But, god, I want to step into that flame.

Hollywood movie star Nate Stone only dates supermodels, movie stars, and socialites. So why can't he keep his mind off of diner waitress Tori?
Nate never thought he’d return to Boden, Louisiana. Running off to Hollywood after high school to make it big, the kid from the wrong side of the tracks meant to leave his hometown in the dust. But twelve years later he’s preparing to make his directorial debut—and Boden is the perfect place to shoot his film. But he gets more than he bargained for when he ends up at the local diner and discovers the best cup of coffee in town is poured by a pretty waitress who dominates his every thought and fantasy. Now all he wants to do is to return the favor and make those fantasies a reality…
Tori Wilson never thought she’d end up a small-town diner waitress, but a couple of bad decisions paired with an unforeseen tragedy left her with no choice. Now the shy baker spends her days clocked in at Boden’s Finewhile Diner, whipping up her famous cherry pies and serving her customers hot coffee with an extra side of sweetness, until one day, she finds People’s Sexiest Man Alive sitting in a corner booth. The powdered sugar flies as Nate uses all his tricks and charm to attempt to seduce the headstrong waitress into his bed.
A man like Nate could have anyone he wants—but somehow, for some reason that Tori just doesn’t understand, he wants her. But maybe, just maybe, being with Nate, even for a short time, will be worth the heartache when he’s gone.
People say that when something sounds too good to be true, it usually is.
Excerpt
His gaze is hot, sensuous as it travels from my well worn black Converses across the curves of my body to my face.
Oh, god. Did he really just check me out?
If I didn’t know better, by the look in his eye and the upturn of his mouth, I would think he likes what he sees. There’s no way.
But still, my mouth goes dry, my nipples pebble tight in my bra. I can feel my core become wet and heavy, clenching tightly in anticipation.
He’s the sexiest man I’ve ever seen, and in that moment, I’ve never been more turned on in my life.
I can feel my hand shake as I reach into my apron to pull out my order pad. It’s that stupid detail that pulls me back into reality.
“Hi, I’m Tori and I’m taking over for Elizabeth. I see you already have coffee, is there anything else I can get you, sir?”
