A Recipe for Romance
Sarah Sullivan will do whatever it takes to make her summer youth program permanent. But when she’s tasked to teach the teens basic kitchen skills, her hope goes up in flames. Not knowing the first thing about cooking, Sarah needs help. Smelling the delicious aromas coming from her neighbor’s apartment one night, she thinks she’s found her answer. Alec Seaver might know his way around pots and pans, but the lone-wolf widower doesn’t want anything to do with the free-spirited beauty next door. But after he becomes Sarah’s reluctant partner, Alec realizes that she might just be the key ingredient missing from his life.
“Wake up, sleepyhead. We’re home.”
Sarah’s eyelids fluttered open. She palmed his cheek. “You’re cute.”
He grinned. Yep, definitely the painkillers. He guided her out of the car and up the stairs. Once she was settled on the couch, he covered her with the knitted afghan. “Will you be alone today?”
“Just in the evening, but I can hang out at my brother’s. The girls think I’m kind of fun.”
Not just the girls.
Instead of dwelling on that sudden thought and before common sense kicked in, he spoke. “How about if we hung out at my place? I’ll cook dinner, and then we can watch My Fair Lady.”
“Will there be popcorn?”
“As long as you’re not making it.”
She stuck her tongue out at him. “One little smoke alarm…”
She closed her eyes, a smile curving her mouth. Seconds later, her breathing evened out.
Alec closed the door behind him and headed down the steps. The dinner and movie were not a date. Just helping out a friend.
How many times would he have to repeat it for his heart to believe it?
