Excerpt:
\n<\/strong>When the tots were crispy and golden, Diego layered on the toppings: shredded extra-sharp Tillamook cheddar, crumbled pepper bacon, paper-thin slices of green onion, sauteed garlic mushrooms, pickled sweet-hot pepper slices, sour cream, and a drizzle of his house-made spicy ketchup. Heart attack on a plate. He hoped Charlie\u2019s sister was hungry. Was she as pretty as Charlie?<\/p>\n

He smoothed his apron and blotted his sweaty forehead. \u201cI\u2019m just gonna deliver these.\u201d<\/p>\n

At the bar, he found bartenders Kiara and River, along with all three servers, huddled around a brunette knockout in a curve-skimming red dress.<\/p>\n

She glanced up. Their gazes met and held. Everything else slowed down.<\/p>\n

Those last few steps to the bar felt like being towed through honey. Her espresso-dark eyes widened, sparkling under the Christmas lights. Her plump lips parted. Her chest rose and fell.<\/p>\n

She\u2019s a goddess. <\/em><\/p>\n

He set the container of tots before her, removed his cap, and scrubbed a hand through his squashed hair. She echoed the gesture, winding a chestnut curl around her slender fingers.<\/p>\n

Abuelita had told him the story of when she and Abuelo first met. \u201cIt was like a golden rope wrapped around my heart and pulled me to him. It holds us together still.\u201d<\/p>\n

At the time, he\u2019d laughed off her hyperbole. But now, in this electric moment, Diego understood exactly what she meant.<\/p>\n

\u201cHi.\u201d The angel murmured, her voice low and musical, like a cello. \u201cDid you make these?\u201d<\/p>\n

Dumbstruck by her beauty, he could only nod.<\/p>\n

She lifted a tot to her lips, inhaled the steam rolling off it, and sighed.<\/p>\n

He thanked the kitchen gods for the apron hiding his erection.<\/p>\n

She took a bite, then her head lolled back on a groan. \u201cSoooo good.\u201d<\/p>\n

Charlie narrowed her eyes and moved closer to her sister, bristling with protective vibes. He\u2019d do the same if someone was eyeing his little sister like a tasty snack.<\/p>\n

Say something, idiot! <\/em>He cleared his throat. \u201cThey go really well with the Port Angeles Amber.\u201d He hooked a thumb over his shoulder toward the beer taps.<\/p>\n

\"Delicious<\/a>Her gaze dropped, and the corner of her mouth hitched up in a shy half-smile. \u201cWish I could try it, but I\u2019m pregnant.\u201d<\/p>\n

No ring on her left hand, but a pale indentation where one had recently been. Divorced? Please let her be single.<\/em> Please, please, please.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cOh. Well then, enjoy, Miss\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAnna.\u201d Though it didn\u2019t seem possible, her wide smile made her even more beautiful.<\/p>\n

Flushed and breathless, he backed toward the kitchen and bonked into something soft.<\/p>\n

\u201cWatch where you\u2019re going, Romeo.\u201d With a chuckle, Dawn grasped his shoulders, spun him around, and sent him on his way with a gentle shove.<\/p>\n

What are you doing? <\/em>his common sense shrieked. She\u2019s pregnant! <\/em>But he allowed himself a final glance over his shoulder. She popped another tot into her lush mouth and winked. He waggled his fingers and pushed through the swinging doors, then collapsed against the wall, clutching his heart.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhatsa matter with you?\u201d Shelby asked with a snort.<\/p>\n

He closed his eyes and heaved a happy sigh. \u201cI just met the woman I\u2019m going to marry.\u201d<\/p>\n
