Published 1 January 2010

Coco Stanley can't believe the way her high-end chocolate specialty shop has taken off.

But her own exotic appetite is aroused when the most mouthwatering confection she's ever seen walks through the door. He's Ransom Winters, self-made millionaire and compassionate youth counselor to the troubled kids in their L. A. neighborhood. Ransom's proud of his program for at-risk teens. And once he meets the owner of Coco's Chocolat, the Grammy-winning songwriter gets another brainstorm.

But jobs for his boys aren't the only thing Ransom wants from Coco. Now if only he can get the relationship-wary chocolatier to say yes to a lifetime of sweet bliss...starting on Valentine's Day! Because chocolate can be fleeting, but love is forever.
