Don't blush. It will just make you look sweeter... Whack! Smack! Slap! Xavier That sound has always made my heart flutter. Especially after a fateful game of truth or dare in college. Awkward freshman, meet dreamboat senior. Humiliating. Except I'm not in college anymore. I'm twenty-five, and inheriting my father's candy store. And that dreamboat is suddenly back in Denver. He's brought his dashing smile with him from Manhattan. Not to mention those strong hands. For one year, he's in Denver to manage a prestigious city redevelopment project. The kind of big budget thing they throw galas for. The kind of project that just might steamroll a little candy shop like mine. But when it comes to Dominick, it's not only my shop that's in trouble. If there is one man who can make me confess my desires, it's him. Desires I never thought I could speak, let alone feel... Desires that beat in my heart for him, whether I'm prepared to admit it or not. #4 - lgbt #1 - mxb
