In
Portland, Oregon, the only thing hotter than the coffee shops, restaurants,
and bakeries are the hard-working men who serve it up—hot, fresh, and ready to
go—with no reservations…
Robby is a self-employed barista with a busy coffee cart, a warm smile, and a major crush on one of his customers. David is a handsome finance director who works nearby, eats lunch by himself, and expects nothing but "the usual"—small vanilla latte—from the cute guy in the cart. But when David shows up for his first Portland Pride festival, Robby works up the nerve to take their slow-brewing relationship to the next level. David, however, is newly out and single, still grieving the loss of his longtime lover, and unsure if he’s ready to date again. Yet with every fresh latte, sweet exchange—and near hook-up—David and Robby go from simmering to steaming to piping hot. The question is: Will someone get burned?
First in the new Portland Heat series!

Excerpt:
A little idea niggled at my brain—like an evil elf
had tapped me on the shoulder. “You know, if you give me your card, I could
call you if you leave your wallet behind again.”
There. His cheeks went dusky pink. I finally got a
blush out of him, but hell if I could decipher what it meant. I could predict
people’s taste in coffee, down to preferred syrup flavor, but I still sucked
at decoding anything as complex as human emotions.
“Ah. Um.” He did the nervous cough thing again.
“Never mind.” I wiped my hands on my apron. “I’d
better get back.”
“Wait.” He opened the wallet, plucked out a white
card with a blue logo, and offered it to me. His broad fingers brushed mine
again as he handed it over. Another barely there touch, but I felt the charge
all the way down my spine, like I’d chugged a triple shot.
My breath tripped with wishing
he’d add a “call me anytime.” Brian would have. But David just stood there
silently. Straighter than the Fremont Bridge and denser than a concrete pylon.
