Kissing London

by Stefanie London

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Blurb:

Welcome to Kissing Creek, where everything has a romance-themed pun for a name and love is lurking around every corner…

Audrey Miller doesnโ€™t believe in happily-ever-after, so she is definitely living in the wrong town. But sheโ€™s never getting out of Kissing Creek, because playing pseudo-mom for her younger siblings doesnโ€™t leave time for much else. Sheโ€™ll do anything to make sure they donโ€™t end up stuck like she is, working as a barista in a college town, serving Pink Passion mochas with Chocolate Smooch donuts.

Then Ronan Walsh, a new young professor and walking clichรฉ, right down to the elbow patches on his blazer, steps in for a coffee and into her life. She knows his typeโ€”intelligent and charming, yet sweet as a cinnamon roll, the sort of man sheโ€™s inevitably attracted to but is always out of her league. So why does someone like him have any interest in a worker bee with no future?

Her bland-as-oatmeal existence has nothing to offer, but Ronanโ€™s temporary teaching position is only a stepping stone on his way to somewhere else. He isnโ€™t here to put down roots, Audreyโ€™s roots are firmly plantedโ€”neither of them is looking for love. And maybe thatโ€™s just perfect.

But in a small town called Kissing Creek, sometimes love can be impossible to avoidโ€ฆ

Excerpt:

Audrey cocked her head. โ€œYou know, weโ€™ve been warned about people like you.โ€

โ€œPeople posing as professors.โ€ She waggled her finger at him and made a teasing, tutting sound.

โ€œPosing?โ€ Ronan literally studied the very things which made people who they areโ€”the very fiber of their motivations and morals. He would never scam someone. But this wasnโ€™t the first time someone had questioned him because he was younger than average. โ€œIโ€™m a professor at Harrison Beech College. I donโ€™t have my faculty card yet, thatโ€™s all.โ€

โ€œYou really thought you could get one past me by trying to look the part?โ€ She shook her head. โ€œThe elbow patches were a good attempt, but donโ€™t you think theyโ€™re a little clichรฉ?โ€

Now she was insulting his fashion choices? He blinked. โ€œWhatโ€™s wrong with elbow patches?โ€

โ€œItโ€™s like you Googled โ€˜what do professors wear?โ€™ and then bought the first thing you saw.โ€ She bit down on her lip as if stifling a laugh.

Everyone was looking at him now, but Ronan had always been impervious to embarrassment. Maybe it was years of growing up with his Irish grandmother who was as blunt as a hammer.

Although he had Googled that exact question on his first day as a professor in his late twenties. Heโ€™d been more insecure back then, feeling the age gap between him and his colleagues and his lack of life experience like a weight around his neck. These days heโ€™d learned to hold his own, academically and personally.

And he damn well liked his elbow patches.
