He's So Not My Valentine (Cataloochee Coffee Shop Romances, #2)

by Savannah Scott

It’s times like this I wish I had a life partner—someone who could shoulder half the load, who would listen to me rant about employees who quit without notice, who would hold me while I fell apart, and then stick around while I put myself back together.

“We’re both adults here, Heather, so I will speak plainly. You are an intelligent woman. You hold this shop together, never letting a cup go empty and never allowing any customer to feel neglected. You manage to mother your son with the right balance of care and firmness even though you are surely exhausted at the end of every day. And yet, when I see you—when most men see you—we don’t see a harried business owner or a single mom barely hanging on to all the details of her overwhelming life. We see a woman who is captivating, intriguing, and beautiful. And that is why I would be watching you.”

Melting ❤️

She hands me my coffee and looks me in the eyes as I take the croissant. Her mouth tips up in a half-smile. “You’re dangerous. You know that?”

I loved this little “dangerous” thing that went between them!!
