Eat Your Heart Out
by Shirley Goldberg
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE: Romantic Women's Fiction
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
When a tyrant in stilettos replaces her beloved boss, and her ex snags her coveted job, teacher Dana Narvana discovers there are worse things than getting dumped on Facebook. Time for the BFF advice squad, starting with Dana's staunchest ally, Alex—hunky colleague, quipster, and cooking pal extraordinaire. But when the after-hours smooching goes nowhere, she wonders why this grown man won't make up his mind.
Alex
Bethany's new lifestyle gives him the confidence to try online dating. What he
craves is a family of his own until a life-altering surprise rocks his world.
He knows he's sending Dana mixed messages. Alex panics when he thinks he's
blown his chance with his special person. From appetizers to the main course
will these two cooking buddies make it to dessert?
Funny and bittersweet, Dana and Alex's story will have you rooting for them.

EXCERPT THREE:
“He’s here. Don’t look!” Noelle’s voice dropped to a whisper. “With a date. Your nine o’clock. He’s facing this way.”
“Who?” Noelle had a knack for making something as mundane as vacuuming into the dramatic.
“Oh, for God’s sake, our own former Mr. Big. Who else?”
If I turned my head and shot my eyeballs to the far left, I could see Alex in profile. With a blonde. I turned a few degrees more, tilting my neck, keeping my head straight.
“It’s not working,” Noelle said.
“What’s not working?”
“It’s obvious you’re looking at him.”
Seeing him on his home turf, relaxed, in charge, and preparing dinner had made me imagine Alex in all sorts of homey mini scenarios far removed from the classroom. Those knives. The pungent scent issuing from the old-fashioned crock pot. And that apron! Talking, getting real, sparring with his friend Jewel. And now with a date, so…unexpected. “What should I do?” A ridge of unease in my stomach.
“For freak’s sake. We’re acting like adolescents.” Whatever else she said was lost in the rising volume of talkers outdoing one another, cell phone alerts, and behind the scenes shouts and pans clanging whenever the doors to the kitchen whipped open.
“Should I wave?”
Noelle shrugged, then turned and aimed a jumbo smile in Alex’s direction at the same time I gave into sheer nosiness, twisting around to get a good look.
His interest level in his date, judging by how far he was leaning over the table to talk to her? Looked like a 9.5 out of ten.
