"Joe Taylor is terrified of being touched. It's made him a recluse, but he doesn't mind being shut in his apartment, churning out novels for his pretty editor.

Then Kisten Jones walks into his life, a perfect Prince Charming who won't let up on his attempts to get Joe to come out of his shell.

No matter how hard he tries, there's something about that kid Joe just can't resist... but no road traveled was ever easy, and they'll face more than their share of problems before they can get their Happily Ever After."

Touch

I jerked, surprised by Kisten's shout, and drizzled chocolate on the counter."Shit, really?" I frowned at the spill, wiping it up with my sleeve before I went back to drizzling chocolate where it belonged- on the popcorn.


"Hey, come on, we're going to be late!" Kisten's voice was louder and clearer; we'd been through this enough times that I knew he was leaning against the fridge with a pout on his face.


My suspicions were confirmed when I turned around with the tray in my hands."It'll go faster if you move out of my way- I need to put this in the freezer."


"Oh, so we're almost done?" Kisten asked eagerly.


I swatted him with the overlong sleeve of the sweater I was wearing- his sweater, since I couldn't be bothered to find one of my own that morning."Shush. You're the one who insisted we bring something to this stupid party thing anyways. I didn't even want to go."
