COMPLETED. (The full story will be uploaded in mid-February 2025)

Bad things happen in threes, at least, that's what Annie Fullerton has always believed. And the way her life is shaping up, she feels like the proverbial poster girl! Her career as an up-and-coming sous chef has gone up in smoke, she's lost her beloved pet, and then her roommate, Danica, has betrayed her in the worst possible way. It's the straw that breaks the camel's back. I mean, come on! A person can only take so much!

In a sudden, impulsive move, Annie pulls up stakes in the big city and drives out of Dodge to start over. When she finds herself on a remote Gulf Island on BC's west coast, she unexpectedly lands a job at The Scarlet Armadillo - a quaint and tiny café in a quaint and even tinier community.

But, after a few weeks on the job, and for reasons Annie can't explain, it seems everyone who eats her Soup D'Jour sees their luck changed for the better, be it in their career, studies, finances, or even in love. Is there something in the water, or does Annie have skills she isn't aware of?

When she receives something precious in the mail-something that belonged to her recently departed and much-loved grandmother-Annie discovers a little something about magic, meals, men, and most importantly, the unique ingredients so vital for living a happy life.

He trapped me completely by keeping his palms on the arms of the chair. "I tried to tell you patiently.", I scoffed at his words. Patience and he don't go in a single sentence. He gripped my chin making me look into his eyes."Now listen carefully Miss, I want you for my niece as her babysitter. Tell me how much you'll take and we can seal the deal." This time it was me who blinked once, twice and thrice. "But I don't want to work for you." See the reason was absolutely clear. I liked the kid since the moment I met her but I hated this man from the moment I gazed into his eyes. "How much?" I frowned."You really think your money can make everyone dance on your tips?" "1200 dollars a week." I rolled my eyes making him lean towards me." 1500?" "Make it 15000 and still I won't work for you.", I retorted and pushed him. I walked to the door and gave him one glance."Next time when you talk to me, make sure you keep all your richness aside. That's one thing that I never want to see you again, you self-centred CEO." "We shall see." . . . Brave but lonely. Passionate but sensitive. That's Arielle Summers. For everyone, Money, Assets and happiness may be supreme but to her, self-respect is prime.

"Yes we shouldn't," he answered, but his hands were sliding under my skirt and pulling my panties down. "If we get caught," I muttered, moaning as his fingers found my slick entrance and he rubbed.
