“Well, guess what, I didn’t. This,” he brandished the container, “is my second breakfast.”
Jenna felt an unfamiliar unfurling of joy. Was he a
Lord of the Rings
fan too? Ever since she’d first read
The Hobbit
, she’d been entranced with the idea of second breakfast. Sometimes she wondered if she had hobbit heritage in her background. “I’m a big fan of second breakfast myself. Also, breakfast dessert.”
“Like an omelet, then a cinnamon roll?”
“Exactly.”
He nodded as if he totally understood. “How do you feel about dessert first?”
“About the same way I feel about dessert any time of day.”
He laughed and put up his hand for a high five. She raised hers and they touched palms. She startled as a little electric pulse zapped between them.
Embarrassed, she dropped her gaze from his and noticed that his sleeve had pulled away from his wrist. He was wearing a woven bracelet made of threads of orange and purple and green and black—a truly godawful combination.
Squinting at it, she remembered the time she’d created that very same awful color combination on purpose for a friendship bracelet for her pen pal.
Wouldn’t a true friend wear it even if it looks like crap?
That’s what she’d written in the letter she’d sent along with the bracelet.
It’s the ultimate test.
She whipped her head up to look at the stranger again. Could it be…no way…it was totally impossible…it must be some weird coincidence that some random guy in a diner was wearing the same friendship bracelet she’d sent her pen pal over seven years ago. How long did friendship bracelets even last?
Forgetting her manners completely, she grabbed his wrist and shoved his sleeve up. Smooth, tan skin over corded muscle, strength exuding from the ridge of tendon—
Never mind that. Check the bracelet.
She examined it closely. Frayed in a few places, faded to a paler version of its original colors, but there…right there…the special knot she’d used to allow the bracelet to expand. There was no doubt.
“Kit?” she whispered.
His eyes went wide and he searched her face. “Jenna?”

Finding Chris Evans Miniseries
The 9-1-1 Edition
by Erin Nicholas
Chris Evans, aka Captain America to his co-workers, knows what he wants: to lead the best EMT crew around, save lives…and have everything done his way. He’s learned firsthand what can happen when he’s not hyper vigilant, so running the show has become his superpower.
If only he could manage Brittney McNemara as well as he handles everything else. She’s the best EMT he knows-and the most exasperating woman on the planet. Where Chris is serious, Britt is scattered. Where Chris is cautious, Britt is carefree. Where Chris is by-the-book, Britt is rebellious. Despite their intense attraction, they’d never work as a couple.
Or could they?
When Britt gets hurt on the job and temporarily loses use of her thumb, she needs someone to be her left-hand man. Chris, ever the hero, volunteers. Little does he know that Britt’s passion for fun masks a need to care for others that rivals his own. And that now the woman who’s been driving him crazy at work is about to drive him even crazier-in her kitchen, in her bedroom, and on a paint ball field.
Forget the Friend Zone. Chris is about to enter the Fun Zone.
Because sometimes even a superhero can’t help but fall in love.
The Hollywood Edition
by Lizzie Shane
Trina Mitchell finally has her life back on track. Fully focused on her first semester of med school, she isn’t looking for the love of her life. But a little no-strings fling with hunky contractor Christian Evans? Now that feels like a gift from the gods. Until she learns her humble contractor is actually the star of a popular home improvement show—and completely out of her league.
Chris has been building his brand as a celebrity contractor and he’s this close to all that hard work paying off in the form of a big primetime gig, but only if he carefully protects his image as a TV heartthrob—which means absolutely no romantic complications allowed. Not even the one girl he can’t seem to get out of his mind.
Love is a distraction neither of them has time for, but when Trina learns their one magical night together is going to have some very real consequences—in around nine months—she needs to find Chris again, stat.
In love and renovations, nothing ever goes as planned. But with a little help from fate, this might just be the perfect time to build their happy ever after.
The Hotshot Edition
by Jennifer Bernard
Jenna Mittelstadt has never forgotten the boy who wrote her a letter every week starting at the age of ten. But it’s been years since she stood him up on their first-and only-attempt to meet face to face. Her world fell apart that day, and she never told him why.
So when her sister Ellie drags Jenna to a pancake breakfast honoring firefighters who’ve been working the Northern Minnesota wildfires, she doesn’t expect to run into a sexy, smoking-hot fireman wearing the friendship bracelet she made all those years ago.
Chris (Kit) Evans spends his summers battling fires, but there’s no fighting the instant heat between him and his childhood pen pal. He was crushed when she suddenly disappeared into thin air eight years ago… and finally meeting her seems like a miracle.
Unfortunately, Jenna can’t get past the tragedy that took all the adventure out of her, while Chris can’t bear to see her drift through life another moment. So now the blaze-fighting expert must do everything he can to make Jenna catch fire…for her hopes, her dreams…and maybe even for him.
The fire season may be almost over, but sparks are about to fly…
