Reluctant Love, Part One

I needed a distraction. And Alex is just the man to give it to me.

Sophia
Nothing ever seems to change in Cedar Cove.
I’m stuck at the same diner I’ve been working at for years.
My ex is now married with a baby on the way.
Not that I want kids. I gave up on that dream a long time ago.
But when Alex walks into the diner, I feel a desire that I haven’t felt in way too long.
I’m not looking for a relationship, but a distraction with Alex might be just what I need.

Alex
Not a day goes by that I haven’t thought about Sophia since I saved up enough to quit working at the diner.
I want her to be mine.
I’m back in Cedar Cove running my own a successful ranch now, and Sophia is finally single.
This is my chance, but can I trust her with my secret?
