Jonathan Oakes enjoys his reclusive lifestyle, living far away from people. It doesn't hurt that never being seen created a mystique for the author with his readers. Reluctantly, he accepts an author-in-residence offer from a fellow author who owns a bookshop in a sleepy little village. He thought it was a temporary trade of one quiet lifestyle for another. Until he met Sass, the server at the café next door who serves him his daily snickerdoodle latte. Sass totally embodies her name. She's fun, flirtatious, and sharp-tongued. But one night, he is lured into the café by the sound of a woman singing a sensual torch song. He sees a new side of Sass. A sexy siren! Can opposites really attract?
