The Coffee Bomb and the Corporate Spy

<p><strong>One Change of Scene Changes Two Lives</strong></p><p>Joel Cabot loves his small town life and his graphic design work for Grateful Grocer.</p><p>But a flood of suggestions for a big project threatens to bury him alive.</p><p>Duncan Jackson's hectic corporate spy career leaves him burned out and ready for a break.</p><p>A quick job sleuthing out a design project sounds like a perfect chance to relax and unwind.</p><p>Neither expects sparks to fly when they meet.</p><p>Or just how deep Grateful Grocer's secrets run.</p><p>Will Joel and Duncan get lost in spy games?</p><p>Or will they discover a path to each other?</p><p></p><p><strong>An Unexpected Spark Changes Everything</strong></p><p>I haven't swung a bat in ages Duncan said. Never was all that great at it but I always loved to try. I can feel the blisters starting already. So you in?</p><p>Joel had that warm solid feeling in his chest he got when he started something that was going to turn out good.</p><p>And damned if he hadn't earned a bit of relaxation over the last few months.</p><p>Okay I'm in. I did my best with baseball especially with my uncle as the coach but I was more comfortable as a soccer player growing up. So you have to promise not to laugh at how bad I might be at it after all this time.</p><p>Duncan laughed then covered his mouth with one hand.</p><p>I'm sorry that's not at you. Like I said I wasn't exactly an All Star. I don't think I'll get hit but I have managed to get hit in a batting cage before. We'll have to promise not to laugh at each other. Deal?</p><p>Joel held out one hand.</p><p>Deal.</p><p>The contact between them hit like lightning.</p><p>Rippling long-lasting summer-night heat lightning.</p><p>The kind that circled and promised and threatened all night long but never built up enough force to turn destructive.</p><p>Every inch of Joel's skin tingled and the hair on his arms stood on end.</p><p>From the way Duncan caught his breath the sensation was mutual.</p>
