It’s nothing personal…
It all seems simple enough—Ukrainian immigrant Nadja
Petrov is determined to hold on to her thriving new coffee shop, Nadja’s
Literary Cappuccino, and Java Beans District Rep Kevin Langley is equally
determined to move into her North Iowa town with a franchise and run her out of
business.
He scopes her out, she keeps a watchful eye on him, and the sparring begins. But there are other players involved, and the web of intrigue soon threatens Nadja, her shop, and her aunt as well as Kevin, his potential franchise, and his son. Within this cauldron simmers a sexual attraction between Nadja and Kevin that catapults them to overcome their fears of intimacy and commitment. Their lovemaking is tender and raw. Their love is nearly lost in tragedy—can it survive doubts, fire, and even a death?
Read an Excerpt
Blocking
the annoying stranger from her mind, Nadja busied herself by packing the
leftover bakery goods she would drop off at the local food bank. She glanced up
to see her aunt leaning against the doorjamb separating their two stores.
How
long had Ivett been standing there? What had she seen? Her dark eyes sparkled
as if she possessed a tantalizing secret. Nadja sighed, girding herself for a
grilling.
She
hoped when she was forty-three she’d look as attractive as her aunt. Ivett’s
clear, heart-shaped face was framed by dark flowing hair and set off by the
most expressive eyes. But Nadja knew she’d never bubble like her aunt—that kind
of free spirit didn’t lurk anywhere in her body.
“Hmm,
who’s the tall dark handsome stranger?” Ivett quipped, stepping into the coffee
shop. “I don’t think I remember seeing him around. And if I had, I think I’d
have noticed. He seemed quite engrossed in you.”
“Nonsense.
He was just a customer.” There was no need to tell Ivett about the man’s
outlandish proposition to buy her café. The man had no manners—or maybe he was
merely another example of American bluntness.
“Few
customers, even male customers, stand at the counter and blatantly undress you
in their minds.”
Nadja
gasped. “He wasn’t.”
She
frowned. Or was he? Her cheeks warmed. She wasn’t blind. She’d noticed his
broad chest pulling at his shirt. But she hadn’t considered him any more thoroughly
than that. And she didn’t think it wise to do so now.
She
shook her head. “You must be wrong. He was only interested in the coffee
business.”
“Right!
I don’t believe that for a minute, but if you must, go ahead. Your mother has
been gone for nearly two years now, Nadja. It’s time for you to get on with
your life.”
“I
am. Look at this place.” She swept her gaze around the shop. “This was only a
dream eighteen months ago. But with the inheritance from my mother and your and
Uncle Steve’s help—this is a reality.”
“Your
dream is a reality because you worked twenty-six hours a day on it with very
little help for the first eight months.”
“I
couldn’t hire help until I got the place up and running.”
Ivett
blew air through pursed lips, and Nadja prepared herself for what had become an
all-too-familiar lecture.
“You
could at least show some interest in a man.”
“I
don’t even know his name.”
“I
don’t only mean him. But he’ll be back.”
About
the Authors
When
it’s Time to Heat Things Up
Award
winning author Adriana Kraft is a married couple writing Sizzling Romantic
Suspense and Erotic Romance for Two, Three, or More. Whether readers open our
romantic suspense or our erotic romance, they can expect characters they care
about, hot sex scenes, and a compelling story. Our suspense stories deliver one
man, one woman, danger and intrigue. Our erotic romance is edgier and nearly
always includes ménage or polyamory, sometimes with two women and a man,
sometimes with two (or more) couples. We write our Erotic Romance stories to
entertain, of course, but most of all we write them because we believe in happy
endings for all who fall in love, whatever their gender, sexual orientation or
numerical combination.
