Katherine O’Shea doesn’t have many vices in life, but Nick Penn’s romances are her secret addiction. It’s like each one has been written for her and her alone. Picturing herself as the heroine is easy, and if she imagines the hot, sexy laptop guy she sees in the bookstore every week as her hero, well, what’s the harm? Nicholas Cerasino decided to pursue his love of writing after losing his leg in his last tour of action. Military suspense was his genre of choice, but after seeing the cute, shy woman in his grandfather’s bookstore every week, he pours his secret desires into steamy romances instead --- with her as his heroine. With help from his matchmaking grandfather, Nick’s ready to take their storybook romance to the next level. But he soon finds out that writing romance is a lot easier than living it. less

Vincent Cerasino gives his all to the Cecilton PD, so much so there’s not much time or energy left for him to pursue any kind of meaningful relationship. Besides, he has yet to meet a woman he thinks would be willing to put up with the long hours, the inherent risks of the job, and the occasional lack of attention - just to be with him. Haven McAlister might just be the exception. She’s the pretty waitress who always has a great cup of coffee and a ready smile waiting for him every night... moreVincent Cerasino gives his all to the Cecilton PD, so much so there’s not much time or energy left for him to pursue any kind of meaningful relationship.

Haven McAlister might just be the exception. She’s the pretty waitress who always has a great cup of coffee and a ready smile waiting for him every night. The more he learns about her, the more he likes. If he could have a woman to come home to every night, he’d want it to be her. Haven knows the best things in life don’t come easy or free, and that a little sacrifice can go a long way.

He’s handsome, funny, brave, and is one of the few people who truly appreciates her love of old-time gangster films. She wonders if he notices the little things she does, just for him. When things get tough for Haven and her brother, Vinnie is right there, doing what he does best— saving the day and unknowingly claiming another little piece of her heart in the process. And maybe, just maybe, things aren’t as one-sided as they seem… less
