First book: Danced
Close
Portland, Oregon, is
one of the hottest cities in America. Just ask all the hard-working men
sweating it up behind the counters of the restaurants, boutiques, and cafés all
over town . . .
Newly clean and
sober, Todd’s taken a shine to his job at Portland’s most talked about bakery.
It’s not just the delicious desserts they sell, but the tasty treats who keep
walking through the door. That certainly includes Kendall Rose, a wedding
planner with eyes the color of brown sugar and skin to match. Todd doesn’t try
to hide his attraction to Kendall’s elegant confidence and unique style, even
as he worries about exposing the secrets of his past.
For Kendall, the
attention is just part of the anything-goes Portland he’s grown to love. But
he’s still looking for that special someone who will embrace all of
him—including his gender fluidity. So he takes a chance and asks Todd to be his
partner in a dance class leading to a fundraiser. When the music starts and he
takes Todd in his arms, Kendall is shocked at how good it feels. Turns out
taking the lead for once isn’t a mistake. In fact, it might be time to take the
next step and follow his heart . .
Second book: Intoxicating
In the second book of
Heather Heyford’s series, set in Oregon’s wine country, having a crush takes on
a whole new meaning when a lady sommelier teams up with the hottie from her
high school days . . .
The Girl Most Likely
. . . to be a
waitress at her hometown café. That’s what Clarkston’s high school yearbook
said about Poppy Springer ten years ago and that’s where the beauty queen is
today. But that’s about to change now that Poppy has been offered a position as
a lady sommelier at a cutting-edge new restaurant. Only Poppy has an
embarrassing secret that could keep her from landing her dream job. A secret
her high school crush seems determined to help her with . . .
The Man Most Wanted
In high school, Heath
Sinclair may have been voted most likely to blow something up, but these days
the sexy science prodigy is a self-made success story with his popular
microbrewery and chiseled good looks. So why is Clarkston’s most-eligible man
so hell-bent on helping Poppy prove that she is more than her reputation? Could
it be the enigmatic bachelor has a hankering for the girl who got away?

Excerpt One: Danced Close
I could have kissed him right then for that reaction. He
didn’t go all dude bro about the prospect of being led by someone wearing high
heels or get embarrassed that I owned said shoes.
“Can I ask something?” he asked after a few more turns. He
had that serious look again, but he’d been so cool so far, I was more than
willing to risk some discomfort.
“Sure.”
“Your lips . . . they’re so shiny . . . You do a gloss,
right? Ever do color?”
His eyes were indeed locked right on my mouth. I got a
little thrill knowing that he thought about my mouth.
“I’ve been known to.” At this point, it had been enough
years that I wasn’t going to apologize for the contents of my makeup case. But
unlike when a lot of people asked me about it, I didn’t get all defen- sive
with Todd, who seemed more . . . thoughtful in his curiosity than some. “Why?
Would you like that next week?”
He was silent a long moment, gnawing on his own lip. I was
seri- ously going to have to get the guy some balm the way he abused the poor
things. “Yeah, I think I might.” He sounded a bit surprised at himself, giving
me a shy smile.
