Part of The Tarot Café Series

Abby Horton finds herself manipulated into managing her aunt's upscale flower shop the week of Valentine's Day. A Manhattan office manager by day and playwright by night, Abby knows nothing about the floral trade.

Retired NFL superstar Brett Kincade stops by to order his Valentine's flowers and catches the gorgeous new gal in town reading an underground review of Whispers by the Sea—a five-star resort specializing in providing adult sensual dining and their guests' wildest fantasies come true. Their attraction is instant. With a little coaxing from Brett's famous "soft hands", Abby eagerly accepts his invitation to Whispers the next night.

Dressed from head to toe in gifts Brett sends throughout the day, Abby can barely breathe wondering what's in store for her at Whispers. The reality tops her fantasy, but is this the start of something she's dreamed of since her first visit to Seaside as a skinny, mouth-full-of-metal fifteen-year-old? Or just another one-night stand for an ex-jock who has everything?
