Sure, Chris OâNeal has problems. His restaurant is still co-owned by his ex. His flannel-and-tattoos style is making him accidentally trendy. He canât remember the last time he went out and had fun. But heâs not lonely, heâs driven. And the hot bakery delivery boy is not his problem, no matter how sweet his buns.
Chris is old enough to know Lance Degrassiâs sculpted good looks and clever double-entendreâs spell nothing but trouble. Lance is still in collegeâhe should be hitting the clubs and the books, chasing guys his own age, not pursuing some gruff motorcycle-riding workaholic. Especially when heâll be leaving for grad school in a few months. But Lance keeps hanging around, lending a hand, charming Chris to distraction. Maybe some steaming hot no-strings indulgence wonât hurt.
Then again, maybe it will . . .
