Lindsey Love’s career as a food critic is suddenly taking off when she’s approached by Food and Travel to take her show to Europe. What could be more fun than to travel with her best friend Patrick, eat amazing food, and see the sights? What she doesn’t bargain for is the surly, egotistical producer with the icy glare, dimples, and a penchant for questioning her every move.
Nick Elliot, ex-Navy SEAL turned producer, finds himself suddenly thrown into a project he doesn’t want to take on. Producing a snotty food critic’s show over in Europe is not at the top of his agenda. She’s stubborn, sassy, and he finds himself inextricably drawn to her.
When things go awry abroad, Nick has to make the decision to save his own future or give up everything to protect Lindsey.
Does it get any better than Nick’s Note? 🙂

Dear Lindsey,
It’s our first Valentine’s Day together, and I’m not sure what to get you. You’ve tasted the world’s best desserts, you’ve dined in the finest restaurants, you’ve drunk champagne in Champagne, France. What do you get the girl of your dreams when she’s had it all? I now know that cake pops are definitely not the answer.
I’d promise you I’ll never wear cargo shorts again, but you’ve donated them all to Goodwill. So, instead, I’m writing you this letter from my heart. The day I met you in that diner, my entire world was blown apart. I tried like hell not to fall for you, but you kept digging your nails into my skin, too stubborn not to let go. Thank god for your tenacity, Love, because without it, you and I would have gone our separate ways. You saw past the wall I had constructed around my heart to see the real me. The one that lived and died just to protect you.
I’m all in Lindsey. One hundred percent all in, no matter how crazy your antics are, or what trouble you and Patrick get into, I’m in it until the end. So, on this Valentine’s Day as I watch you sleeping on the couch with the cooking channel blaring in the background, and our baby growing inside of you, I give you my heart. Nothing will stop me from giving you that gift… not even my sisters, although they will try, just to torment me. I love you Lindsey Love with everything that I have.
Yours, Nick
When I was fourteen I won a writing competition at school for a short story based off of the book The Secret Garden. My prize was a beloved copy of Anne of Green Gables and to have my story published in the school newsletter. I won that writing award again my junior year for a poem that I still remember vividly. But I was also artistic and I was pushed by others to follow that passion and my writing became dormant. I’ve always loved reading and soon stories started to bloom in my head whispering to be told, until one day I picked up my laptop and started the journey. What started as a hobby quickly turned into a love story. My wish is that my story makes you smile, maybe even laugh, and hopefully swoon. I live in Davidson NC with my husband and two daughters, 3 dogs, one cat and a guinea pig named Fluff.
