CeCe LaRue knows what she wants in life, and in the kitchen, and that’s control. She doesn’t have time for distractions—from her past or present. But that doesn’t mean a certain bright-eyed coworker hasn’t captured her heart.

Evan Lawson is a chronic optimist, and he brings his sunny disposition to everything he does, especially his job at the diner. It’s obvious why he loves his job so much, and it has everything to do with CeCe. He’s been crushing on her for a while, but he’s biding his time. Much like the perfect recipe, love cannot be rushed.

When Evan reached to take the scissors, their fingers grazed and a shot of awareness jolted him. It reminded him of the time he stuck his hand in a bug zapper on a boy scout camping trip, the sensation nearly singeing him. He blindly hoped CeCe felt the charge, but she didn’t show any indication that she had. Her attention was on the candy, and he needed to focus on the matter at hand. Otherwise he’d be cutting more than paper with those scissors.

A smug look of satisfaction crossed her lovely face once she was done, and Evan had to stop himself from documenting the moment with a photo. Nothing looked as gorgeous as CeCe after a successful day in the kitchen. As far as he was concerned, she was the eighth wonder of the world. Evan loved watching her come alive like this. Her normally gruff exterior vanished when she created sinful confections. She practically glowed, radiating a heat that brought him—and his appetite—to life. And there was a particular smile CeCe had when she cooked—her nose wrinkled and her bottom lip jutted out slightly. He’d only seen it outside of work a few times, and he’d give anything to be the reason it was on her lovely face. 

Falling Home

A Buckeye Falls Novel #1

Welcome to Buckeye Falls, Ohio!
Tis the Season for Second Chances…And this couple is going to need a Christmas Miracle!

When New York transplant Ginny Meyer returns to her small hometown to help her father recover from surgery, she isn’t looking for any complications. No Christmas caroling, no cookie decorating, and certainly no time spent with her ex-husband, Max. The trouble is, she’s looped into helping with the Christmas Jubilee—and a certain ex is her planning partner. Now all her plans to avoid Max disappear in a puff of tinsel. But she can resist his charms, right?

Max Sanchez has three great loves in his life—his diner, Christmas, and his ex-wife. He’s spent two years missing the woman who broke his heart and left town, and he’ll use any excuse to spend time with her. Max hopes some holiday cheer, and his famous cheese enchiladas, can help them find their way back together. Buckeye Falls hasn’t felt the same since Ginny left, and Max can tell she’s warming to the idea of staying in town. Now if only he could get her to stay with him…

With a little help from the residents of Buckeye Falls, this Christmas is bringing more than presents under the tree.

Max looked at the table, noticing it had been set for three people. If he closed his eyes, he could pretend this was a few years ago and everything was normal. This was a normal family dinner, with the family that really mattered to him.

If they were back in time, he could walk to the sink and wrap his arms around Ginny, lean into her, and smell the skin at the nape of her neck. God, he missed those rights. The rights of a husband. At this moment, he would give his favorite spatula collection for one hour in the past. Swallowing the growing lump in his throat, Max said, “I d-d-don’t want to impose.”

Ginny surprised everyone by taking the wine from Harold and pouring a glass. She stepped forward and handed it to Max, her hand shaking slightly. A peace offering.

“Stay for dinner.” It was an order, not a question.

Max might have been lying to himself, but he could have sworn the corner of her lip tipped up in a smile. Whether it was a trick of his eyes, her words seemed genuine. He took the wine and sipped, eager for something else to focus on. “Thanks.”

Harold took Max’s coat and patted him on the back. “Take a seat, son. Dinner’s ready.”

And with that, Max eased himself into his usual chair. He watched the love of his life serve bowls of soup and sit across from him in the warm kitchen. The air around him smelled like home, with garlic from the soup and a hint of mint from Ginny’s shampoo. There was something comforting about knowing she used the same stuff even now. That meant there was a small part of her that was the same. Max took that kernel of truth and held it close to his chest. It might be foolish, but Max was allowing himself to hope that Ginny could be back in his life. A guy can dream, right? Maybe he’d get a Christmas miracle.
