Straight On Toward Paradise: Shellwater Key Tales (Book 2)

Reece stared down at her, and the heat behind those dark eyes could have powered an entire kitchen. She shivered as his gaze dipped to her lips.
â€œThis is insane,â€ he muttered.
â€œI know, and you hate me.â€
â€œI donâ€™tâ€”â€ His eyes closed, head shaking as if in denial. Another beat went by, and then he opened his eyes. The wry expression returned. â€œYouâ€™re going to drive me crazy, Miss Bertram.â€
â€œJust returning the favor, Mr. Casings.â€
â€œReeceâ€¦â€ he said, the raspy word a command.
Emma didnâ€™t take commands well, but when he gave the ordersâ€¦ â€œReece.â€
His chest rose and fell again. They stared at each other, the heady pulse in the room vibrant and alive.
Now what, Counselor?

Chef Emma Bertram doesnâ€™t believe in the fantasy of happily ever after. As a teenager, she witnessed the destruction of her parentsâ€™ marriage when her father left for another woman. Lingering bitterness and a demanding career have kept her apart from her fatherâ€™s new family for years. Then he and stepmother are suddenly killed. Returning to her childhood home of Shellwater Key, Florida, Emma suddenly finds herself with custody of her two half-sisters. Left with no choice but to stay in Shellwater Key, Emma accepts a job offer from her best friend Layla McCarthy as Head Chef at the old Paradise Dinner Theatre.

Renovating the dilapidated kitchen just might kill her and nothing has prepared her to become an instant mother. But itâ€™s not her new job or her sisters that threaten Emmaâ€™s peace of mind. No, that honor belongs to her fatherâ€™s law partner, Reece Casings. The buttoned-up, so-wrong-for-her, but oh-so-sexy lawyer makes Emmaâ€™s blood boil. Or is it heart race? How can she be attracted to a man who is so wrong for her in every way? A man who clearly blames Emma for the fractured relationship with her father and who loves to point out everything sheâ€™s doing wrong?

Except she cannot deny that Reece touches something in her that no man has before. Then an explosive secret boils to the surface that reveals Reeceâ€™s real connection to her family. Can Emma get past the truth? And can she ever learn to forgive her father â€“ and herself â€“ in order to serve up a delicious happily ever after?
