Chocolate Truffle Kiss: A Steamy Romance Novelette

A sweet and spicy story with a dash of poetry and chocolate!

Your eyes meet mine, then retreat
Softness behind glass
Let me break your barriers

The poem on the blackboard enticed her to enter. Just like everyday . . . 

Writer, Beth, visits the same café every afternoon, enjoying her latte and a chocolate truffle while scribbling in her notebook. The delicious treats keep her coming back day after day, not to mention the inspiration she finds there – Samuel. The barista is tall, dark and delicious, and his stare could melt chocolate from a hundred paces. 

Since her divorce, Beth's love life has been close to extinct, but the sight of Samuel, his dark, brooding good looks and amazing dragon tattoo, kick it into overdrive. A smouldering volcano waiting to erupt in flames of passion. But Beth knows it's unlikely he'd go for her, an older woman, when he could have anyone. 

Over the course of a week, the tension between them rises almost to boiling point. When Beth's friend lets it slip that Beth fancies Samuel, in fact she has a mega crush on him, their customer/barista relationship is tested . . . but could it be more than one-sided? Is Samuel writing the blackboard poems especially for Beth? Could he be watching and wanting her too?
