No Repeat Customers

Della Sayer is a twenty-nine-year-old bartender who relies on rules to survive. After escaping a financially abusive ex-girlfriend, Della built her own successful bar in the French Quarter and swore off repeat customers, both in business and in bed. Her most important rule: never promise more than one night.

Corinne Auvray is forty-four, composed, and accustomed to managing everything around her. The wealthy owner of a restored luxury hotel, Corinne has spent three years grieving her late wife and hiding behind architectural plans. When she tastes a bespoke cocktail made by Della at a gala, she realizes she wants something more than just a drink.

Corinne doesn't want one night. She wants dinner. She wants breakfast. And she is willing to sit at Della's bar every Friday night until the bartender drops her defenses.

As their chemistry ignites into a passionate, high-heat romance, Corinne's instinct to control the future collides violently with Della's terror of being trapped. When Corinne builds an entire business proposal for Della without asking, it threatens to destroy the fragile trust they've forged. Della must decide if she can surrender her rules, and Corinne must learn that the strongest foundations are built on uncertainty.
