All Chapters of Moon Worthy: Chapter 1 - Chapter 6

Gabrielle Connor sat in her hotel room staring at her schedule. She had yet another stop on her book tour tomorrow in Beverly Hills. It was at a place called Stacks & Racks no less. She shook her head at the play on words.She couldn’t remember the last time that she’d had a day off from work to just do whatever she wanted. Of course, she hadn’t been able to do what she wanted for almost a year now.It wasn’t as if she was ungrateful for her success in the past year, but it really did interfere with the ability to just lead a normal life.After her little catering business had been discovered by an executive from the Meal Network, she’d been offered her very own cooking show. She’d excitedly turned her store over to her assistant chef, Monique. She was still the owner and she received calls and reports all the time, but she missed her little store. She’d built it from the ground up and she was thrilled that it was doing so well these days. It was doing far better now than it

She felt a small blush rise in her cheeks as she thought of how she’d stared longingly at him and took that leap by sharing her phone number with a complete stranger.It was a foolish thing to do. Her self-defense instructor would give her a stern lecture about just such a silly decision. But she was glad she had done it.She was downright tired of living by the rules. She'd done it all her life and she had ended up alone.She'd been more than a little embarrased and worried that he'd not find the number or that he would find it but not reach out.As it turned out, she had no need to be worried becau
