A Splash of Vanilla by Bethany Lopez

Opposites attract when this PI falls for his client.

A splash of vanilla

For the past year, Dru has put everything she has into building a catering business with her sisters. She’s so used to working until all hours of the night with them by her side, that when they both find love and move out, Dru decides to focus on something that has always weighed on her… finding the father who’d abandoned them.

For the past year, Mick has been living the good life. A content bachelor with his own business as a private investigator, he enjoys making his own decisions and answering to no one. When a couple of clients-turned-friends bring him in contact with Dru, his first thought is that he wouldn’t mind getting her alone for a night, but when she hires him, that spark is extinguished. Mick doesn’t mix business with pleasure.

When their lives become constantly entwined, Dru becomes more and more determined to get Mick to break his rules. Will they discover that even a seemingly perfect dish, can be made better with the right amount of spice, or are they too set in their ways?

Sample text:

I looked around the banquet room, which we’d converted into a speakeasy for my twenty-ninth birthday party and forced a smile.

Yes, it was perfect. Decorated exactly how I wanted, no, it actually turned out even more awesome than expected, but, that didn’t change the fact that it was a party to celebrate my birthday, not mine and Millie’s.

It was the first year since birth, that we hadn’t agreed on a theme, spent hours finding the perfect cake, and argued over who got to open presents first. This year, Millie had requested that we’d do separate birthday’s, with each of us getting to choose our own festivity.

She’d opted to have a small lunch, with just us sisters, Millie, Tasha, and I, along with her boyfriend, Jackson. While, I’d gone the more Dru like route, with this big blowout.

I guess that had been Millie’s point, that she wanted something more low-key, and didn’t want to rain on my party parade, and although I’d said I’d understood and agreed, it had still hurt my heart.

Everything was starting to change, and I hated it.
