Book Description:
Widower Caleb Lawson has resigned himself to a life of farming and family functions. He never expects to find another love like he had with his wife, much less remarry. But once his mother brings home Sofia Nogales to help her get back on her feet, he starts to reconsider his expectations. Sofia is beautiful, witty, and so full of life that his arms ache to hold her.
Determined to make a new life for herself, former head chef Sofia Nogales hopped on the first bus to the east coast and refused to look back. However, she never dreamed a series of bad events would have her end up in Jessamine, North Carolina as the guest of Dinah Lawson. Nor did she ever dream of meeting someone like Dinah’s son Caleb—the sexy farmer, who keeps everything to himself… except the heated look in his eyes.
But when the opportunity comes knocking—to the tune of cooking at an already established and popular restaurant two states away, will Caleb be able to convince her to stay?
EXCERPT
“How long have you lived here?” she asked.

EXCERPT
“How long have you lived here?” she asked.
“About six years. I had my eye on this property for a long time, so when the owner decided to sell so she could move closer to her grandchildren, I didn’t waste anytime buying it.”
“A man who knows what he wants and goes after it,” she murmured before returning to the middle of the kitchen. “You go relax while I decide what to cook.”
He let her shoo him away, but he didn’t go far. While he pretended to watch television, he kept a close eye on Sofia as she bustled around his kitchen. She looked as though she belonged there and not because he thought that’s where every woman belonged.
“Seriously, Caleb, did you go in my diary? This kitchen is perfecto!”
She was perfect.
With a playful smile, she marched to him, holding something in her hand. “Open,” she ordered softly and his mouth parted. “You will love this, I promise.”
He closed his lips around her offering, connecting with her fingertips. As the salty concoction hit his tongue, he sucked on her skin, and then pulled back a little. “Delicious.”
She cocked her head to one side. “Are you sure?”
“I always mean what I say.”
With a satisfied smile, she whirled away from him, her dress flaring out at the bottom. “Dinner will be ready at five thirty.”
As he watched her sashay into the kitchen, he realized that was falling for a woman he knew wouldn’t stay. Hell, he hadn’t even kissed her properly.
Maybe he should fix that tonight.
