Time Bomb

Tick. Tick. Tick.

My internal clock. It’s the sound I hear when I look in the mirror; it’s all I hear when I go on these blind dates that my friend, Laken Decker, keeps setting me up on.

Date one was a banker—all about numbers. Kind of boring.
Date two was nice—until he wasn’t.
Date three was WHOA! A hot firefighter—Torque Decker—who kissed me like he was trying to steal my soul.
Date four was not the hot firefighter from date number three.

I wasn’t looking for another date from anyone—except maybe, the firefighter. Let alone seeing him again when a small fire nearly ignites outside my coffee shop, The Cup.

Now, I’m burning up with attraction for the sexy man who has captivated me and forced me to look forward to what the future could bring.

Tick. Tick. Tick.

I was uncertain of what to expect when my brother and his wife set me up on a blind date with her best friend. Ophelia Montgomery is way more than I bargained for.

She speaks her mind, goes for what she wants, and man, can the girl kiss. Her mouth says she doesn’t want more, but her body speaks volumes. She wants me.

But she won’t call me.
So I’m the one to make the first move.

There’s isn’t much I won’t do for her after that first kiss. After the way she melts for me so sweetly. Ophelia is my future, but there’s someone out there looking to take her from me. I won’t let it happen.

Tick. Tick. Tick.

Love is a Time Bomb, but we have a lifetime to explore and fan our flames.
We hope.
