     Josie Smith, a hardworking waitress at the Highland Grill, doesn't believe her friend's prediction that Josie's life is about to change. So what if her horoscope says she's about to meet one, maybe two, mysterious strangers? They'd probably just be bill collectors. Mysterious men she could do without. The last guy she dated was mysterious, all right—he was a pathological liar. And the one before that did nothing but take jabs at her plus-size, curvy figure. But when her friend points out Lucas and Dan, the two hotties who've become regulars at the Highland Grill, Josie can only laugh. Sure, they're sexy as sin with their black leather jackets and big, shiny motorcycles. But sadly, she isn't exactly their type. She'd caught them in a scorching-hot embrace in the parking lot one night, and even Josie isn't foolish enough to pine away over two gay guys. Lucas Pearce has more money than he can spend in several lifetimes. He's a powerful, respected, old-money billionaire, and has a man he loves and trusts—tech mogul Dan Jackson. Both of them are bisexual, and both agree their hearts are big enough for one more. When they discover the Highland Grill, they immediately fall for the beautiful, Rubenesque Josie Smith. Josie believes they're just city boys who ride in every Friday on their motorcycles for the great food. But the boys are hungry for more than just the Friday night special. They want the curvy waitress with the kind smile and the warm eyes—and they intend to do whatever it takes to get her. So when things go south at the Highland Grill, Lucas and Dan think they've got it all under control. But it isn't long before they realize they might not be as all-powerful as they'd thought, and Josie might not be as easy to win as they'd imagined...
