A Recipe For Reunion. Vicki Essex

      It was freezing out here.

      Maybe Aaron had trapped Stephanie on the porch deliberately so that she’d agree to his terms quickly. “What’s your grandmother’s stake in the business?”

      “She owns the whole shebang. I’m basically acting as her business manager.”

      “So only she can fire me.”

      Aaron opened his mouth to form an objection, but then closed it. “Yes. She’s our boss.”

      It must’ve killed him not to have seniority over her. If anything, she should have seniority over him.

      “All right,” she said, holding out her hand. “Consider me your new assistant manager.”

      Relief flooded Aaron’s stormy eyes. As he squeezed and pumped her hand, a pulse of something thick and hot blew through her.

      Oh, no. Hell, no. She was not attracted to Aaron Caruthers. They weren’t just out of each other’s leagues; they were playing different sports.

      Dear Reader,

      Welcome back to Everville, New York, the town where my second book, Back to the Good Fortune Diner (Mills & Boon Superromance, January 2013), was set. I’ve gone back in time to a few months before Tiffany arrived to tell the story of how the county’s best roadside bakeshop became the very popular Georgette’s Bakery and Books.

      Everville’s motto is The Town That Endures. To me, enduring means accepting change. As the wife of a civics nut, I enjoy learning about what makes communities work. As the town evolves, so, too, do the lives of Aaron Caruthers and Stephanie Stephens—the bookworm and the cheerleader who never thought they could be a match.

      I love to hear from readers! Visit me on Facebook, Twitter (@VickiEssex) and my website, vickiessex.com, and watch out for more stories from Everville!

      Happy reading!
