Anticipation — Talia Carmichael

When life brings you someone who's supposed to be yours, you'll need to decide if you'll give into the anticipation…

Dixon Avery's only focus is his center and he doesn't have time for anything else. Especially with the upcoming event to raise funds he has to keep on track without distractions. Except he can't get the sexy bookstore owner he's just met out of his mind. Since the man dismissed him then it won't be a problem to forget about him since he won't see him again. Maybe…possibly. Yet, when the man shows up at his center Dixon knows there's no way he could have ever forgotten about him. Now he has to decide what to do about the man who has captured his attention.

Reginald Williams doesn't like anything that upsets his orderly world. Especially when it's the man he's been seeing pass his bookstore for years on the way to the center he owns. The man who he's thought about all too often, admiring him from afar not just for his work at the center but also as a man who he's attracted too. Now he has an opportunity to meet him when he comes into his bookstore looking for Reginald to volunteer. He never reacts well when being caught off guard. He's mad at himself for the lost opportunity. Now he's going to have to step out of his comfort zone and take a chance on not only doing a good thing to help out at the center but maybe have a chance with a man who makes him want to step out of his orderly world.
