Roxanne Rayeaux has had enough of men. The only ones she
can trust are her best friend from high school, Matt, and
her father-figure, master chef M. Girmond. So putting her
super-model career behind her, she buys a building, living
in one of the upstairs apartments and turning the pub
downstairs into a French restaurant.
Steve Serrano has been a bartender since college, where he
was a history major. Although his good looks and charm have
helped him with his bartending, his goal is to get the book
published that he's writing about a historian.
Unfortunately, some of the facts for his book may be hidden
in the walls of the building he lives and works in.
Roxanne and Steve don't hit it off right away. However,
with a little help from Matt, they soon start to see each
other in a different light. Although their attraction is
great and they keep coming together, they both have
secrets. Roxanne has trust issues and believes the worst of
Steve, thinking he's the one breaking into her restaurant.
Shortly after their break-up, Roxanne feels she made a
mistake and wants Steve back. She goes to his apartment,
but instead of finding Steve, she discovers the real person
behind the break-ins, and then Steve discovers them.
Roxanne has to make Steve understand that although she lost
faith in him, it was because someone planted the seed of
doubt in her head.
SPECIAL OF THE DAY is a fun story. The characters work
great together and make you believe dreams can come true.
This is the kind of story you read on a rainy day because
you don't want to put it down once you start it.

One sexy bartender with a wicked grin and a knack for
turning up the heat ...

In the Soup...
Roxanne has had it with the starvation diets, the leering
looks -- and the married boyfriend! But when she moves back
home to Virginia with her orange cat, Cheeto, to open a
French bistro, it's just her luck to discover that the
bartender is an arrogant, sexy hunk with an attitude about
wines, food and women.
The Main Course...
Steve is more than just a handsome guy who's good with a
blender and even better with his hands ... But when passion
combines with a series of suspicious break-ins and a missing
treasure, Roxanne realizes mixing business with pleasure
could be a recipe for disaster -- especially with a guy
who's obviously all wrong ... and yet oh-so-right!
