Stella Brooks is a woman who knows what she wants. From her first glimpse of Paris Fashion Week at the tender age of eleven, she has only ever wanted to be a designer. Hardworking and dedicated, she knows she can make a success of it.
Until…she is driven to trade fashion for frosting, a move that makes her soul sing but shakes her confidence in her decision-making to her core.
And when you add in that her sexy hookup from her older brother’s wedding is sniffing around again, things are about to get out of hand. Wesley McMillan seems different, no longer putting off love-’em-and-leave-’em vibes, which only adds to Stella’s emotional chaos.
Wesley McMillan has had a thing for Stella since she first served him a fried pickle platter at her mom’s restaurant. He may have only ordered a snack, but he found he wanted a whole meal—in the form of Stella Brooks. How could he not? She’s stunning, smart, and confident. She knows her worth and what she wants, and she owns whatever room she’s in, the ultimate turn-on for him.
He just has two problems: Stella is his best friend’s sister, and she thinks he’s a playboy. The first issue, Wes is willing to face off against. As for the second…Wes doesn’t blame Stella for her assumption. He used to love to play the field, but now that he has his demons under control, he is ready to show her and the world that he is worthy of her love.
Wes may be known for his sick signature move on the ice, but will his dirty toe drag be enough to score Stella’s heart?
Wes has been crushing on Stella for a long time now. Problem is she is his best friend Aiden's sister. They have all been warned that his sister's are off limits. He has turned into an Instagram stock just so he can see her smile. He even eats dinner at her mom's restaurant 3 times a week so he can see her at work. His childhood was very bad and although he is working on getting past it he does not think he is good enough for Stella. She flirts with him all the time but never anything more.
Stella can not wait for the nights Wes comes into the restaurant. She loves getting to see him. She would like more but his reputation is that he is not interested in something long term. Stella is looking for forever. One night she asks him to go to a party with her as friends. They have a great time together. When she drops him off at home he asks her to go on a date with him. She hesitated but agrees.
Wes's number on worry is if this works out how is he going to tell Aiden. He is his best friend and he doesn't want to lose him.
When there date goes very well Stella opens up to Wes about some secrets she has been keeping from her family. He has secrets of his own but he is not ready to share them yet. His secret go deep into his soul and he needs to know this relationship is going somewhere before he can open up to her.
There are definitely obstacles to jump over to make this relationship work. Can Wes fully open up to Stella with his whole heart? Will Stella still want him when she finds out his secrets?
My name is Toni Aleo and I’m a total dork.
I am a wife, mother of two and a bulldog, and also a hopeless romantic.
I am the biggest Shea Weber fan ever, and can be found during hockey season with my nose pressed against the Bridgestone Arena’s glass, watching my Nashville Predators play!
When my nose isn’t pressed against the glass, I enjoy going to my husband and son’s hockey games, my daughter’s dance competition, hanging with my best friends, taking pictures, scrapbooking, and reading the latest romance novel.
I have a slight Disney and Harry Potter obsession, I love things that sparkle, I love the color pink, I might have been a Disney Princess in a past life… probably Belle.
… and did I mention I love hockey?
