Brandon's dream is finally coming true. His days may be long

the blonde-haired, blue-eyed beauty, walks into Little Bird asking for a job,
he's can't refuse her. As her new boss, he tries to convince himself that he
can look, but he can't touch.
When he lets her loose in his kitchen, her broken heart is
mended, his battered heart is stolen, and they can't deny that they both want
more. So much more.
Book three in the

EXCERPT
With
the uncomfortable amount of tension in our apartment, I decided to head out
with my laptop and do some online job hunting elsewhere. There are a million
and one coffee shops in Fort Collins, so I knew I’d be able to settle myself
somewhere. When I found parking just a short walk away from Little Bird, it was
like the coffee shop was welcoming me back.
I
spent a good amount of time here during my senior year at CSU. Addie, Roman and
I had this little tradition. Every month we would get together for the
open-mic-night that was hosted here. Addie and I knew Roman from work.
Roman.
For
a while, I had such a big crush on him. He was handsome and enchanting and,
unfortunately, totally into my best friend. Obviously that didn’t work
out in my favor.
It’s
a common trend when it comes to my love life.
Then
again, things didn’t work out so well for him either. Addie picked the other
guy. Her forever love. I wonder what Roman’s life is like now. The little girl
in my arms is his niece. I can hardly believe I’m holding evidence of more than
a year gone by. When I left, Daphne and Trevor were just friends. Totally and
completely in love, but just friends.
When
I left—Little Bird Cafe was just that. Now, it’s Little Bird Cafe. Home of
Brandon’s Bakery.
Brandon.
Hot.
Damn. Brandon.
I’m
trying not to stare. I really am. I’m not interested in men these days.
Really.
Truly.
But
Brandon…
I
told him I remembered his face, but I don’t remember it being so distracting.
Maybe it’s because I was too hung up on Roman at the time to notice. Whatever
the case may be, I can't stop thinking about his smile. I don't know how he
does it, but when he smiles, he looks charming and endearing, but also
smolderingly handsome. When I look at him, it's like fanning through a rolodex
of my favorite book boyfriends. Except he's real. I could touch him.
Shit.
Don't think about touching him!
My
heart shoves aside my rationale and I try and imagine what it would be like to
kiss him. Or what it would feel like to have his dark, honey brown scruff
scrape across my skin as his lips leave a wet trail down my neck. My Lord, that
low trimmed beard he wears is totally sexy in that rugged,
I'm-a-man-and-I-won't-apologize-for-it sort of way. And he most certainly is all
man. All six-foot-plus of him, with a beautiful body that looks to be void
of a single ounce of fat. I wonder what he would look like in nothing but that
black apron he's sporting right now...
Fuck,
fuck, fuck!
Stop,
stop, stop!
Too
much smut. I've been reading too much smut!
I
want the job, not the man. The job!
Remember
the last time you wanted the man?
My
heart flips me off, unappreciative of the reminder; but my pulse slows knowing
my brain is right. I want the job. I need the job. Anything else is more
than I can handle in my current state. With that in mind, I snuggle Caroline a
little closer and then look back over at Brandon.
The
job. I want the job. Not those warm, dark hazel eyes. The job, dammit. The job.
I
clear my throat, hoping my voice won’t be dripping in lust when I go to use it.
“So, when did Little Bird became Home of Brandon’s Bakery?” I manage.
“A
couple months ago,” he says with a smile that can’t decide if it’s shy or
proud.
Kill
me now.

AUTHOR BIO
R.C. Martin finds it a bit awkward referring to herself in
the third person, so she's only going to do it for this one sentence. (We all
know who's writing this bio anyway!)
I'm a born and bred Coloradan. I will always claim that
square state as my home! While I now reside in Virginia, the land of the Rocky
Mountains is where I've left a piece of my heart and where my characters come
to life. I'm a woman in love with love and filled to the brim with compassion
for women like me, on a journey to find themselves in today's society. I aspire
to inspire my readers to do more than settle. I hope that my writing will
remind everyone that she (or he!) is valuable and worthy of the best kind of
love--the kind that is gentle, patient, faithful, passionate, all consuming,
never ending, and leaves you breathless.
When I'm not writing I'm reading; when I'm not reading I'm
writing...you know how it goes! I also enjoy cooking, baking, crocheting, and
jigsaw puzzles. Basically, I'm an old soul with a young heart, nonchalantly
waiting for my prince to come.
