Everything Nice:
by Kate Hill
Erotic Contemporary Romance
Excerpt:
From the moment they’d met he’d wanted her. Orlanda had hired him. He’d joined the military right out of high school. It was a family tradition. His father and grandfather had been in the Army and Navy respectively and Antonio had spent five years in the Marine Corps.
When he’d returned to civilian life, he’d pursued his dream of chef’s school with plans to eventually open his own bakery. During his job interview, Orlanda had liked his no-nonsense attitude. By the expression on her beautiful face and the sounds that had escaped her lush lips when he’d baked for her, his cannoli had nearly sent her into orgasm. Too many times since then he’d wanted to send her into orgasm the old-fashioned way.
He needed only a hint from her that she wanted more from him than a business partnership and he’d sweep her off her feet. Yet Orlanda remained coolly professional and Antonio would rather admire her in secret than risk losing her entirely.
“What do you say, Antonio? Want to go into business with me?” she asked.
When she looked at him with those intense brown eyes, he couldn’t refuse her.
“All right,” he said, offering her his hand. “Partner.”
She slid her manicured hand into his and Antonio’s heart skipped a beat.
Whether or not he could keep their relationship business only would be a bigger test of his self-control than boot camp had ever been.
Blurb:
Will Antonio’s romantic confession win Orlanda’s heart, or destroy their partnership? A partnership made in heaven/hell—they secretly lust after each other, but … business first! How can they build a successful business together if their focus is on the bedroom instead of the bakery?

I’m imagining him serving his cannoli to a customer named Sally as she eats in a restaurant . . .
Great excerpt, Kate! Military guy and pastry chef–two of my favorite things!
