Hungry Diva
Candi Heart - 2019
It’s how she earns a living, and in less than a year, she’s become one of Denver’s top food critics. Her business was growing until a troll on her blog begins making anonymous comments about her choice of restaurants and the unhealthy food she critiques. Now that her site ads aren’t making her enough money to sustain her lifestyle, Marlowe begrudgingly takes a side job in the marketing department of a brand new hospital in town to get the collectors to stop calling. When Dr. Judson Turner walks into her office, demanding things of her without so much as a hello, she’s instantly on the defensive at his brazen attitude and abrasive language. Unfortunately, she can't help but notice his full lips, clean, sexy beard, and the way his scrubs ride low on his hips. But Dr. Turner won’t be ignored, and Marlowe isn’t sure if she likes his direct approach, or if she needs to keep it business as usual and ignore the scorching attraction crackling between them. All she knows is she needs to concentrate on the task at hand: Get that fat commission check so she can quit the hospital job, get back to fulltime food blogging, and finish the foodie book she’s writing. Because staying single and working from home is living the dream… right?
