  “She’s holding down the fort and loving every minute of it.”

  “Good.” Nora rose from her chair and wrapped her blanket tighter around her shoulders. She padded around the table and settled into my lap, where I wrapped an arm around her.

  She snuggled against me and continued sipping her Americano. “I could get used to one of these every morning.”

  “Am I supposed to read between the lines and make sure I pick these up every morning?” We’d be leaving Rome before we knew it. That meant we had to savor these decadent Americanos while we still had the chance.

  “You’re such a clever man.”

  I chuckled and ran a hand up her thigh. Not so subtle hint taken. “What do you want to do with the rest of our day?”

  Nora tilted her head back and smiled up at me. I saw the same brilliance in her eyes that I’d captured in the canvas painting of her that hung up in my gallery back in New York. There was wonder there.

  She closed those magical eyes of hers and gave me a sweet kiss. “I want to explore, obviously.”

  I let Rome fade to the background as I gazed into her eyes. “Obviously.”

  The End.

  Have you read Talk Dirty To Me?!

  Book 1 in the Business of Love series,

  Talk Dirty To Me!

  A woman in the business of love that’s never been in a real relationship.

  Check. That’s me. Nessa Night.

  Now I know what you’re thinking. That sounds like a stripper name.

  Hold up. Let me explain.

  It’s my radio talk-show name. My incognito way of helping the world love deeper and more often.

  Though my love life is like a ten-year-old fall leaf trapped between the pages of an old journal. #dramatic

  I’m short. Curvy. Average at best.

  And I’m a fraud.

  For all the advice I give on the air, I have zero experience to back it up. I’m eternally single. Forever alone.

  And the only man I’ve ever caught feelings for is one of my callers: Mr No Name.

  Much to my surprise, he’s not unknown at all.

  The grandson of the great Jack Daniels is my caller, and worse? He’s my brother’s best friend from high school.

  Only one way to right these increasingly awkward wrongs.

  High school reunion time. He wants in, and I want a date who looks like him.

  The only thing off is his advice about love. It’s from Nessa night. Me!

  And if he swoons over her (me!) one more time, I’ll have to give in and tell him.

  Besides, I’m in the business of love.

  If I don’t got this, who does? *Gulp*
