      If she didn’t act, she’d regret it

      Chloe steadied her gaze on Riley, his smile broader with each step she took toward him. She stopped inches away.

      “Hello there,” he said softly.

      “It’s my birthday. And when I blew out my candles, I promised myself the next time you walked in here, I would…” She trailed off.

      He looked her over, slow and easy. Every place his gaze touched came alive to him. Then he kissed her.

      She wanted more. She wanted this. She wanted it all. The new Chloe was going to kiss this man until she was finished with him. Kiss him and then some. When she slid against him, he groaned and his eyes lit with fire. He grabbed her backside to stop her movements.

      “This could get hot fast, Chloe.”

      “Exactly what I had in mind,” she said, thrilled by her boldness.

      “You sure this is what you want, Chloe?” he asked.

      “This is my birthday. And this is my wish,” she said. “Please take me to bed.”

      Dear Reader,

      Believe it or not, this book made me a better cook! To understand Chloe’s passion for cooking I had to do some research, of course. I discovered how much better freshly chopped garlic tasted than the stuff in a jar. And fresh herbs? Yum. What aromas, what flavors. So that was a cool benefit of the book, beyond bringing together a man and woman who needed each other.

      It was so rewarding to match Chloe with Riley, the tough-guy cop who needed her optimism like water in the desert. Who could be better for a man who believed he didn’t have much heart than a woman who has nothing but heart? And Riley helped Chloe free herself from the family obligations that kept her from living her own life, going after what she wanted—in bed, too. Now, that was fun to write. Especially the handcuff part.

      I hope you enjoy how these two work out their differences as much as I did writing their story. Now I can’t wait to get a reservation at Chloe’s restaurant when she finally opens it. Something tells me Riley will be in the kitchen doing prep work. What do you think?

      I’d love to hear your thoughts on this love story. Write me at [email protected]. Keep track of upcoming projects at www.dawnatkins.com.

      Best,

      Dawn Atkins

      HOLDING HER BIRTHDAY CAKE high, Chloe Baxter backed through the restaurant pass door, grinning in advance at how delighted her friends would be when they tasted what she’d made.

      She whirled, then froze, startled by the sight of Riley Connelly in a nearby booth. She’d missed his arrival and so had Sadie, her fellow hostess, who’d threatened to drag him to the birthday celebration if he showed at Enzo’s tonight.

      He’d showed all right, and he’d stopped Chloe dead. The pass door whapped her on the butt and she jolted forward, looking ridiculous, no doubt.

      Riley flashed a grin, knowing and sexy and so kissable that Chloe melted like the candles she would soon blow out.

      Jeez, Louise, the man merely smiled and she dissolved? She should get out more. She should get out, period. And she should certainly get laid.

      She smiled back, hoping her face didn’t look as hotly red as it felt. She had such a crush on the man.

      Walking toward her party table, Chloe felt light-headed. Part of that was the champagne
