Marcia Turner is single. Violently and eternally single. But that's okay. She has her two best friends, a cute cat to cuddle and has finally been handed the reins to the family business, a bookshop named Page Turners. 

David Suwan is single. But he's far to busy for all of that anyway. He's spent years working to open his dream bar - The Raven On Tap - and he's determined it will be a success. He cannot afford distractions, especially not from the cute bookshop owner next door. 

When David and Marcia both receive letters telling them someone is trying to buy their businesses, suspicions are raised and accusations start to fly. Due to a series of unfortunate events, they find themselves forced to work together to win a competition that could save their livelihoods. 

Will they save the shops they love? And will sparks fly amongst all the pressure?

He was staring at me with an expression of pure hatred. I stared back. I must admit, even with such a nasty look on his face, he was rather attractive. His powerful arms were crossed, the unzipped leather jacket tight around the biceps. I could just make out dark tattoos poking out of the white collar of his uniform, brushing against his sharp jawline. His dark brown hair, do dark it was nearly black, looked as if he had sat in front of the mirror styling it, or perhaps he had just got out of bed. Still, as I turned to sit, I couldn't help but feel as if those deep, storm blue eyes were still watching me, burning a hole in my back. I didn't know his name, but the look he gave me made me feel as if he knew everything, and I mean everything about me. Word count: 90,000 warnings: mature themes and violence
