Becca Markham spent the last six years trying to please everyone else. Now it's her turn. She ditches her cheating boyfriend, quits her high-stress job as a software engineer, and decides to transform her life-long love of baking from a part-time hobby into a full-time business.
Leo Kogan spent years scrambling to escape a life of poverty—first in Russia, then in the U.S. Now a successful surgeon, he needs just one thing to complete his American dream: the perfect woman. But making the leap from casual friends to lovers proves harder than he expects.
Despite a sizzling attraction, Becca and Leo don't see eye to eye—especially when it comes to love and money. She’s looking for sex without strings; he wants a partner for life. She stakes her future on a risky new business; he’s obsessed with financial security.
Can love bring two headstrong people together…or will their differences end up tearing them apart?

Sweet Indulgence is the second book in my Silicon Beach Trilogy.
Each book in the series can be read as a stand-alone, but they do share the following:
The drive to El Segundo took thirty minutes on a good day. Despite the fact that it was Sunday evening, this was not a good day. A big-rig accident snarled traffic for miles on the 405 South, giving Leo plenty of time to think.
He glanced at Max from the corner of his eye. “You think Eva might consider coming to next week’s game? Maybe with a friend?”
Max looked up from his phone, where he’d been scrolling through messages. “You want my wife to set you up?”
“No,” Leo said. “Not exactly.”
“Okay, then, what exactly do you want Eva to do?”
“Bring Becca to next week’s game.”
Max burst out laughing.
“Never mind,” Leo gritted his teeth. “Forget I said anything.”
“No, no—” Max managed to get his mirth under control. “By all means, let’s pretend we’re in middle school. You ask your friend—that would be me—to ask Becca’s friend—a.k.a. Eva—if Becca likes you. Am I following?”
“Sometimes you can be such an asshole,” Leo muttered.
“Hey, I’m not the one who’s having trouble asking the girl out.”
“It’s not that simple.” Leo paused a moment to switch lanes. “You know John Hunter?”
“He’s the shoulder guy in your group, right? The one who keeps hitting on all the ER nurses whenever he’s on panel call.”
“Yeah. Becca’s been dating him for the last six years.”
“No shit.” Max winced. “Sorry. I didn’t know.”
“It’s over.” Leo hit the brakes as the car in front abruptly stopped. “Finally.”
