Single mom Ella Thompson’s stressful life is running a quart low on adult fun. That is, until her ex-husband takes the kids on vacation and her best friend provides the antidote to a boring week: a gift card, a vibrator and instructions to 'find' herself. Yet what she’d like to discover is the name of the hunk at the café in her favorite bookstore whose biceps bulge with every latte he serves.

Some sexy new clothes and a solo orgasm or two later, Ella is taken by surprise when the handsome ex-marine, Diego, asks her to dinner and she becomes the appetizer. Ella finds herself happily immersed in a too-good-to-be-true fling with a man who has skills extending far beyond the battlefield…and in the bedroom. Along the way, she discovers a seductive side of herself that has been dormant far too long.

However, the kids are due back soon. Will Ella be able to merge the fantasy with real life, or will this new version of Ella be lost forever?

Excerpt

"Why don't you enjoy these next few days and have your own good time?"

I tried to think back to the last time I had some fun of the grown-up variety and came up blank. I looked down at my plate, where my piece of the mocha fudge brownie sat untouched. Then I looked around at the other people in the bookstore. I wasn't even sure I knew how to go about having fun anymore.

"Men are like dessert," she said, sensing my dilemma. "They come in multiple flavors, textures, and sizes." She was using a finger to pick at her remnants of our sinful treat, the bulk of which had long since disappeared. Then she discreetly motioned to a younger man by the periodicals. "That would be your all-American apple pie. Fresh faced and ripe for the picking."

I decided to immerse myself in the metaphor. "For years now, I've been eating crumb cake. I think it's time to try something new."

"That's my girl."

I scanned the room. If I could have any man here, who would it be?

The one pouring coffee caught my interest. He was just a tad taller than me, maybe five-foot-nine. The olive skin made Hispanic heritage a distinct possibility. His dark hair was short with just a hint of silver around the temples.

Underneath the apron, I could see the outline of his well-developed chest and shoulders. A crisp white short-sleeved shirt hinted at biceps that bulged every time he tilted the pot.

My heart skipped a few beats. Screw desert, he looked even better.

He came closer, carrying a pot of fresh brew. "Can I heat you up?" His brown eyes served as an invitation to much, much, more.

You already have.
