Davis, California ~ Present Day

 

Hard-working attorney Belle Taylor is visiting her family for the Christmas holidays and the first person to greet her is her childhood crush, Raphael Bettencourt. They share a smoldering kiss that brings to the surface an underlying attraction between the two. Temporarily sharing quarters while Belle is in town, the two are soon acting upon those feelings. But can a high powered San Francisco player like Belle to make a future with small town farmer Rafe?

 

The premise of TO DO LIST is fairly simple: Belle is overworked as she strives to reach her goal of making it to the top in the law firm she works for. But the past few months of working eighty hour weeks has taken its toll on her emotions as she’s drifted away from the closeness she’s always had with her family. Belle’s determined to enjoy her holiday, with a little help from Rafe. She’s always been attracted to him, but he’s always seen her as his best friend’s sister. Well, now that’s changed in a big way. Rafe is ready to take their friendship to the next level—and beyond. But can it work?

 

Lauren Dane has woven an emotionally satisfying tale in TO DO LIST that shows Belle and Rafe’s relationship developing from friendship to one of a couple working on a future together. The love scenes are sexy hot, but it’s the chemistry between the couple that makes this a story not to be missed. Head on over to Samhain and snatch up your very own copy of TO DO LIST.
