Daniel
has been best friends with Rose since they were born. He’s been in
love with her for years. The only problem? She has no idea, and he’s

Rose

enough to find it. That’s become more complicated, though, since

Excerpt:
The
night is nothing short of perfect. The air is warm, there’s barely
any wind, and the moon is young, so the sky is dark, laced with
thousands of stars. We find our spot along the beach, well away from
the other stargazers, and set down our sleeping bags, a couple of
blankets, and our cooler.
Our
eighties playlist is playing softly in the background while we enjoy
the night. Daniel takes photos, and every so often he shows me an
image he’s caught on camera. I’m in awe. He really is amazing.
The way he sees the world is so different from how most of us do –
angles and frames and visions that capture the beauty of everything
that surrounds us, including the stars. Even in the dark, I can see a
twinkle in his eyes, that same look he has when he picks up his
camera. Confident. In charge. Sexy.
I
squeeze in between Daniel and the telescope and lean into the
eyepiece. I’m instantly fascinated by what I see. The star flickers
like it’s dancing in the sky. There are hues of red and orange and
gold, and it sparkles like a gem.
I’m
equally distracted because Daniel is standing right behind me. He
hasn’t moved an inch. His chest presses against my back, and I
tense for a moment, unsure of his intent. His scent makes its way to
me, and my eyes flutter closed for an instant. I inhale and savor the
way he makes me feel. My initial tense reaction gives way to a new
one – one that confuses me and excites me all at the same time.
Goosebumps cover my arms, and my breath hitches in my throat. I can’t
help but shiver from the sparks that travel through my body.
His
response is not what I expect. Yet, even though I’m afraid to admit
it to myself, it’s quite possibly what I hoped for. He wraps his
arms around me so they criss-cross just above my waist. He starts to
rub my arms, warming my skin and melting the goosebumps – and my
whole body. My mind is screaming, Do not cross the friendship
boundary! No good can come of it. Thank goodness for my sensible
brain. Too bad I don’t always listen to it.
On
that thought, I can’t help but relax into him. His strong, lean
frame envelops me, and I’m aware of the contours of his body and
the heat that radiates between us. I nestle into his shoulder and
look up at the stars above us. He buries his nose in my hair and
inhales deeply. Here, away from the city lights, it seems as though
it’s just Daniel and me and our newfound closeness.
“Hey,
there’s a shooting star.” I point to where it’s trailing across
the sky. “Did you see it?”
“Hope
you made a wish,” he whispers in my ear, and I swear his lips graze
my skin. I shiver again, unable to control my reaction.

Synopsis:
From
debut author Helena Rac, a sassy, sexy comic tale of second-chance
romance and the many uses of icing. Tessa loves cupcakes. They're
tasty and comforting, and they've made her bakery a success. Men, on
the other hand, are unreliable jerks who are bound to break her
heart. Even if they're hot enough to melt her frosting. Tessa is
smitten with Luke after a less than graceful encounter on the streets
of Chicago, and fate keeps reuniting them. She's certain he'd be
delicious in bed, but there's just one problem: Tessa's sworn off
long-distance romances, and Luke lives in London. Besides, he's
proven himself to be bad news. Although Tessa's sexy stranger swears
to set aside his player ways after she carries out sweet revenge,
she's far too smart to believe in happily-ever-afters. Luke will need
to use every weapon in his arsenal - including a spatula or two - to
convince Tessa they're meant to be together.
