"The thing is... I'll be fine if friendship is what's best for us."
"What if you could be better than fine, Kick?"

After my world imploded eight years ago, I fought my way out of the darkness -- opened a popular coffeehouse, raised three amazing kids, regained my health. But the pains of the past still haunt me.

Then Professor Thomas Harrison walks into my cafe. He's six feet of chiseled grumpiness in a suit. When a vandal threatens my livelihood, Thomas sticks around to give his statement while making sure I'm safe. He floors me by asking sincere questions about my life and health, attributing them to his career in genetic research. Except no one does this. Ever.

Despite our scorching chemistry, I keep him at arm's length. Thomas makes it clear his work is his priority. Then there are the secrets. I can tell he's hiding something huge, only I can't put my finger on what it is. He obviously has as little time for "extracurricular activities" as I do.

Add to that my secret and how much I like that he's unaware of the old me. I only know that when Thomas is around, my world makes sense again. He might be the key to helping me start over, but first I must put my past to rest.

Kick Start is book one in a slow-burn, seasoned, steamy romance trilogy bringing all the feels. The story ends with a Happy For Now with an overarching plot line
