Excerpt
I lean closer to the table, soften my voice. “Forgive
me, but you look so familiar…”
Her eyes widen, and something vulnerable seems to
flash in them. She brings a hand to her hair. “I do?”
I nod vigorously. “Yes. So much. It’s eerie.”
She swallows. “We all remind each other of others,
don’t we?”
“Perhaps we do,” I say. I’m not sure what to make of
her answer so I return to the matter at hand, telling her more of what I would
make for her charity fundraiser. My business manager, Eduardo, alerted me to
this opportunity the other day when it landed on his desk. With my new
restaurant opening a few months ago, I’ve been looking to make a splash in
Manhattan. Reviews have been amazing and business has been robust, but I know
that fortunes can turn on a dime. Hell, do I ever f*cking know that. “And I
would make the most fantastic desserts for you, too,” I say with a wink,
because that reminds me of the afternoon I met the girl in Barcelona—we’d both
been eating dessert at a street-side café, where we’d started flirting.
“Desserts are my specialty.”
“What would you make?” she asks, then she murmurs oh God when I tell her what I’d create
for the sweetest course. The soft sound she makes stirs something in my chest,
then sends a rush of heat below the belt. That sense of déjà vu sharpens, and a
reel of images snaps before my eyes, like puzzle pieces fighting to connect.
I scrub a hand over my jaw, arching an eyebrow. It’s
driving me crazy. “Are you sure we’ve never met?”

"Lauren has knocked this one out of the park and down the street into the kitchen of Rocco DiSpirito.

THE ONLY ONE
From the New York Times bestselling author of THE SEXY ONE comes a romance about fate and second chances.
Let’s say there was this guy. And he gave you the most mind-blowing night of sex in your life. And you never saw him again.
Until ten years later.
Now, it turns out he’s the ONLY ONE in all of Manhattan whose restaurant is available for my charity’s event.
The trouble is, he doesn’t recognize me.

This woman I’m working with is so damn alluring. The first time I set eyes on her, I’m captivated and I can’t get her out of my mind. Even if it’s risky to tango with someone I’m working with, she’s a risk I’m willing to take.
The trouble is, she won’t give me the time of day.
But I’m determined to change that.
Kim's 4 Star Review
If you didn’t believe in second chance love, this book will
change your mind. I was given this book
in exchange for an honest review and Lauren gave her readers a hot, sexy story
leaving them believing that love conquers all!
Lauren continues to bring her readers the heart stopping, steamy books
as she explores both sides of the story.
Lauren introduced us to Gabriel and Penny in previous book and gave her
readers a second chance love story that left me fanning myself.
Gabriel met Penelope (Penny) 10 years ago in Spain. They had
a mad three day love affair that ended with a promise to meet in New York at the
fountain of Lincoln Center at a set date, however Gabriel missed the date. As
fate intervened and brought them back together after 10 long years. To say sparks flew would be an understatement
as Penny can’t believe that he doesn’t recognize her at first but little does
she know Gabriel does recognize in a way she doesn’t see.
The one thing about these two, is that when they’re together
sparks fly and the world falls off their radar.
The chemistry between them is never in short supply so when things start
to heat up between them you find yourself feeling a lot hotter and totally
addicted to the story. I mean how could
you not fall in love with the hot, sexy Latin lover who knows how to cook? Gabriel and Penny’s story captivated me and
had me on a reading binge as I wanted to see what was in store for these two
and hope that fate gave them just what they needed, each other! If you’re
looking for a romantic book where your faith in second chance love comes true
then this is the book for you.
