His Hands

A Heart of the Adirondacks Novelette

Anna Stephenson doesn’t have time for love. The divorced mother of two is a café manager in a small mountain town, and the start of blackberry season means she’s up to her elbows in flour, baking her grandmother’s famous blackberry pies. When a sexy, rugged landscaper shows up to work at the café, she knows not to let herself get distracted.

But Deegan James arouses Anna’s appetite in ways she’s long forgotten. The gruff, mysterious stranger has strong hands and salt-and-pepper stubble she longs to feel against her skin. He’s older than she is and just passing through, but Anna has to have him once before he goes. Unless a stolen morning, messy with flour, proves that once isn’t enough…

A little naughty, a little sweet, this story comes with a recipe for blackberry pie at the end!
