"I need extraordinary, and I won't settle."I feel like a new woman. An open book. It's more than the encouraging test results, proving my body is on the mend. This sensation lives in every cell, every emotion, every new wish. My late husband is peacefully laid to rest in my heart, and I'm moving forward. Thomas and I agree to take things slow despite my heart's veto of the decree. It wants-no demands-more magical nights with my new delicious younger man. Except we both have responsibilities competing for our attention and interrupting our alone time. Then there's the harassment of my coffeehouse and my family. After a festive night out nearly turns tragic, Thomas's care and vow of protection keep me from falling backward. I never dared to dream of a second chance at love, though it looks like one found me. Still, his stubborn refusal to open up challenges the limits of my swoony affections. Thomas better come clean soon because I'm close to figuring out his big secret, anyway. Kick Back is book two in the slow burn, steamy, seasoned Southern Oaks trilogy. Given the overarching plotline, it's best enjoyed when read in order.

"The thing is… I'll be fine if a friendship is what's best for us.""What if you could be better than fine, Kick?" After my world imploded eight years ago, I fought my way out of the darkness-opened a popular coffeehouse, raised three amazing kids, regained my health. But the pains of the past still haunt me. Then Professor Thomas Harrison walks into my cafe. He's six feet of chiseled grumpiness in a suit. When a vandal threatens my livelihood, Thomas sticks around to give his statement while making sure I'm safe. He floors me by asking sincere questions about my life and health, attributing them to his career in genetic research. Except no one does this. Ever. Despite our scorching chemistry, I keep him at arm's length. Thomas makes it clear his work is his priority. Then there are the secrets. I can tell he's hiding something huge, only I can't put my finger on what it is. It's clear he has as little time for "extracurricular activities" as I do.Add to that my secret and how much I like it that he's unaware of the old me. I only know that when Thomas is around, my world makes sense again. He might be the key to helping me start over, but first I must put my past to rest. Kick Start is book one in a slow-burn, seasoned, steamy romance trilogy bringing all the feels. The story ends with a Happy For Now with an overarching plot line.
