**This was my very first story I've ever tried writing, and although I'm not proud of it, I'm keeping it up to inspire me to try again**
Maybe it was her shy personality or her gentle touch. Her stuttering, but soft voice or her welcoming aroma. Maybe it was the sparkle in her brown Bambi eyes or her dimple smile. Her small frame or her pouty pink lips. Maybe it was the way she cared for him like no one else has or the way she brought out the gentleness in him. Her dependence on him or her pure soul. But whatever it was, drew him in like a siren.
He was on the road, looking for somewhere, anywhere, to live. Tired of living in his old, run-down car, Gabriel Reid, stopped in a small town thinking he can escape his past. With a rude and reserved personality, he never thought he would find the one thing he unknowingly craved and needed the most.... love.
When Chef Margot loses her beloved restaurant to her cheating ex-fiance, her best friend, single dad Nathan, steps in with an unexpected offer to help her start over. As they collaborate, sparks fly-but can they overcome their complicated pasts for a chance at real love?
