No Reservations Required

When friends-with-benefits turns into something so much more.

She was just looking for a good time.

Tess Goldberg moved to Mountain Valley after graduation, following her college roommate, Katie, back to her hometown to help run her grandmother''s bakery, Franni''s. Having fallen in love the small northern town, she set up a life for herself that consisted mostly of work and hardcore fun.

Tess doesn''t like being tied down, opting instead for a life of endless parties and a steady stream of guys. But when she meets Adam Black, a widower who just moved to town, her entire world is thrown off-balance.

He was looking for a chance to start over.

Adam Black chose Mountain Valley to open his new restaurant because it seemed like the most remote place he could find to start a new life with his 5-year-old daughter, Livvy. After losing his wife to cancer three years ago, he wanted nothing more than to escape the city and all the reminders of their life together.

His intention had been to work hard and build a home for his family. Meeting Tess had not been part of the plan. Young, wild, and carefree, she'' everything he''s not-and he''s instantly drawn to her.

Tess just wants to have fun, but Adam''s not into playing games. Can they find a middle ground?

No Reservations Required is the second novel in a series of stand-alone steamy contemporary romance stories based in Mountain Valley.
