Lovebird Café

I've only ever fallen head over heels for two things...my mama's homemade lemon tarts and my on-again-off-again boyfriend, Jake Duncan. The lemon tarts are easy to replicate. The feelings I've carried for Jake Duncan? Not so much. So I've decided it's high time we ought to rekindle our romance. Now, Jake better get with the program or get out of town.

The boy next door is about to rock my world...again. And when I say "rock" I mean he's going to turn me topsy-turvy, leaving my head spinning and other parts of my anatomy aching for his touch. But there's no room in my new life for an old flame. Especially not when the sparks still smolder. The only way to claim my big city future is by cutting ties with my small town past, and I find myself caught between a rock of regret and the hard planes of Robbie Jordan's chest.

Moving from the big city of Los Angeles to the small town of Swallow Springs, Missouri, was supposed to provide a quiet life for me and my kid. But then I meet Dustin, a gorgeous motorcycle stuntman and the best kisser I've ever known. He was only going to stick around until the fallout from his botched late night TV appearance settled - the perfect solution to a single mom's long dry spell.

When Theo Wilder stops in at the Lovebird Cafe, looking for an experienced guide to show him around the deserted caves surrounding Swallow Springs, I seize the opportunity to get down and dirty with the heartthrob scientist. Rumor has it there's hidden treasure on our homestead and I've been itching for a way to claim it. He doesn't need to know I have an ulterior motive or two....
