Moment of Bliss

BLURB:
Nestled
in the lush green mountains of North Carolina, the Honeywilde Inn
will be a romantic’s dream getaway—if only the Bradley siblings
can keep it running. It will take a combination of hard work, good
luck, and the kind of love that dreams are made of…
Roark
Bradley is no stranger to responsibility. Growing up, he practically
raised his younger siblings while his parents threw themselves into
working the inn—and arguing with each other. Determined to make the
Honeywilde shine once more, Roark jumps at the chance to conduct
business with a no-nonsense event planner who approaches him about
celebrity nuptials that could put the inn back on the map. If only it
wasn’t so tempting to discuss some no-strings attached pleasure
with her instead…
Madison
Kline is done with weddings—at least personally. Her own youthful
mistake is a well-guarded secret, and one she refuses to repeat. But
as she and bold, broad-shouldered Roark work together to make a rock
star couple’s wedding a reality, she finds herself wishing romance
didn’t feel like a four-letter word. Can either of them surrender
their hard-won independence and workaholic ways for something
sweeter—and even more rewarding?...

EXCERPT:
“Wright
named them that. Says it’s because they’ll make your eyes roll
back in pleasure. His words, not mine. And he calls the frosted ones
Frosty Fixations.”
She
rubbed at her mouth to hide her grin over the ridiculous names.
“He’s
a fanatic, I’m telling you. But I can’t eat just one. Would you
like to try a Pumpkin Pleasure Roll?”
Would
she like to try one?
She
barely managed not to laugh like a hyena. Hell yes, she would like to
try a whole plate of them and then roll around in the crumbs, but she
was not going to fall victim to the inn’s goodies yet. Not until
she knew this deal wasn’t going to blow up in her face.
“No,
thank you.”
“Seriously?”
She
couldn’t believe it either. The self-restraint she was practicing
right now would impress a nun.
Roark
stepped aside. “Suit yourself then. Feel free to have a look around
the kitchen. You’ll see the enormous vat of vanilla mixture over
there. It’s been known to attack. Give it a wide berth.”
Madison
turned away so he couldn’t see her smile. She was here to work; to
broker a deal that meant she was capable of succeeding on her own.
That deal meant practically taking over his inn for a weekend and
pulling off the impossible in about three weeks. She was not here to
smile and laugh with the good-looking inn owner.
The
kitchen was clean but recently used and cluttered. Wright might be a
messy chef, but he tidied up afterwards. The revamps Roark had
mentioned showed in the new commercial oven and appliances.
Luckily,
she was capable of doing a thorough yet speedy overview of
everything. The longer she spent in this kitchen, the more tempted
she was to stuff a cookie in her mouth.
A
scenario ran through her mind. What was the likelihood she could
scarf down one, possibly three, cookies without anyone noticing?
She
finished checking out the kitchen and wound back around to the front,
right in time to find Roark polishing off a Pumpkin Pleasure Roll.
His
cheeks full, he dipped his chin, color rushing to his face. When he
got done chewing, the strong line of his jaw was back in place, but
his cheeks were still pink. Roark’s flush was a complete
contradiction to his steady gaze and serious look. He wiped his
fingers on a napkin and smoothed his shirt down, as though
straightening a tie that wasn’t there.
“Busted.”
He smiled, showing the tiniest hint of a dimple in his right cheek.
In that
moment, Madison finally admitted the truth to herself. Between the
cookies and the resort owner, Roark Bradley was the yummiest choice.
