When waitress Darcy Vaughan’s friend asks her to help out with the launch of a fledgling restaurant, she’s happy to oblige. Little does she know the owner is Jake Holland, the perfect guy who slipped through her fingers after their one night of passion. But for Darcy and Jake, one touch was just not enough.

Somehow, I missed this little short story nugget while reading the rest of the Kowalski Family series.  It looks like it may have been part of a multi-author compilation Valentine’s Day book originally.  No matter, I’m glad I came across it and was able to finally read this story.

Darcy and Jake are adorable right from the start.  I love how they meet, how they progress to intimacy, and how it all falls apart.  And then I love it again when they find each other.  So much love all around for this story! So much chemistry, I just kept turning pages.

You absolutely do not have to have read the rest of the series to enjoy this story at all.  It’s amazing all on its own.  If you’ve never read this author before and don’t want to dive into a full length book, this would be a wonderful introduction to her writing.
