Lattes and Lilacs
About this ebook
All she has to do is make enough money before her family back in Kansas figures out she didn't move to California for the job she told them she had.
The last thing she needs is a romance that pulls her into the wine-country world she's been carefully skirting since she arrived.
Good thing Ollie's just a pilot.
Isn't he?
Ollie learned young that money — and a famous name — come with expectations he never asked for. Flying for one of Napa's most powerful wine families lets him stay in the background, where he can just be himself.
Then he meets Callie. A ceramic artist who's uncomfortable around wealth and privilege — and who likes him for who he is, not what he has.
Ollie knows he should tell her the truth. He's just not sure what will happen when she realizes the man she trusted isn't nearly as uncomplicated as she thought.

About the author
Hi, I'm SJ, a coffee addict, lover of chocolate and drinker of good red wines. I'm a lost soul and a hopeless romantic. Reading and writing are necessary parts of who I am. Though perhaps not as necessary as coffee! I can drink coffee without writing, but I can't write without coffee.
I grew up loving romance novels, my first boyfriends were book boyfriends, but life intervened, as it tends to do, and I wandered down the paths of non fiction for many years. My life changed completely a couple of years ago and I returned to Romance to find my escape.
I write 'Sweet N Steamy' stories because to me there is enough angst and darkness in real life. My favorite romances are happy escapes with a focus on fun, friendships and happily-ever-afters, just like the ones I write.
These days I live in beautiful Montana, the last best place. If I'm not reading or writing you'll find me just down the road in the park - Yellowstone. I have deer, eagles and the occasional bear for company, and I like it that way :0)
