Hot and Bothered

A fire they can't put out . . .



Although her baby boy keeps her plate full, Jules Kilroy is ready to take her love life off the back burner-which means getting back into the dating scene. And while she might wish her best friend, Taddeo DeLuca, would see the potential of them as a couple, in her heart of hearts she knows it's not to be. He rejected her once and she's vowed never to blur the lines again . . .



After a lifetime of excuses and false starts, Tad has finally opened a wine bar, a deal made even sweeter when Jules joins his staff. Lovers come and go, and he's had his share, but friendships like theirs last forever. Yet, ever since he tasted her, he can't stop fantasizing about what could be. And when she signs up for an online dating site, the thought of his Jules with another man makes his blood boil.



Tad might have made a mistake with his best girl before, but this time he's determined to beg her forgiveness . . .



one scorching kiss at a time.
