"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, fixed my health. But, the pains of the past still haunt me.

Then Professor Thomas Harrison walks into my café. He's six feet of hotness and chiseled grumpiness in a suit. When someone vandalizes my business, Thomas sticks around to give a statement and makes sure I'm safe. He floors me by giving a crap about my life and health. No one does this. Ever.

Despite our scorching chemistry, I keep him at arm's length. Thomas makes it clear he's devoted to his work and something else. Something huge that he's hiding. Between his mysterious calls and running off at a moment's notice, it's clear he has zero time for "extracurricular activities" too.

But also I have secrets and like that he's not aware 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 have to confront my past.

Kick Start is book one in a slow burn, seasoned, steamy Romance trilogy with all the feels. The story ends with a Happy For Now with an overarching plotline.
