In her solitary life she eats alone and daydreams about having a handsome boyfriend who could accept all of her. Daily she finds herself running to catch her bus and knowing that she is the laughing stock of the other commuters. And then one day she literally finds herself ‘falling’ into the lap of one of the commuters; an exotically handsome white man. Tory finds that she is unable to stop thinking about him and daydreaming about the life he must live. But Mr. Gorgeous must be either married or gay because she sees him dismissing the attention of gorgeous women left and right. Never in a million years would she ever guess that hers was the only attention he was interested in… In this multicultural romance, Pepper Pace weaves a story that takes her readers through the ups and downs of personal insecurities, cultural differences, and of course a lesson to be learned; that love is totally and completely blind.

Chapter 22: YOUR MANTLE

Tory felt distracted as they moved from shop to shop. They stopped for coffee and Tory still hadn't found anything that reminded her of Lee.

"It doesn't have to be today. We'll find something to put on your mantle."

"You want to be on my mantle?" She joked.

He reached out and took her hand. "I'd like to be among the things that you find precious." Tory moved her fingers, intertwining them with his.

"You already are," she whispered.

He kissed her fingers lightly and his rough growth of stubble tickled the back of her fingers. He had neglected his morning shave and the result was a rugged sexy look that kept her eyes glued to his face. She reached out and rubbed his cheek.

"So..." He said. "Are you getting tired of shopping? We can go back to my place and relax until dinner...?""Relax. Okay, I like to relax," she said breathlessly.

He retrieved his cell phone. "We're going to take a cab this time."
