Tea Leaves and First KissesA Cozy Beach Town Midlife Romance

His Cup of Tea #3 / 7

Tea Leaves and First Kisses: A Cozy Beach Town Midlife Romance (His Cup of Tea #3) by Kat Vroman
Unrated

When a cryptic psychic's advice to "follow the colors" leads a war veteran straight to a glass artist's rainbow-lit booth, some destinies are worth waiting half a century for.

Mischa Petrov has spent decades believing love wasn't meant for him. After surviving an explosion in Kosovo that left him scarred and struggling, the 49-year-old ice cream shop owner has resigned himself to a solitary life. But when Lady Merla's mysterious fortune sends him chasing colorful light beams through the Christmas fair, he discovers Lorna Collins creating magic with molten glass.

Lorna just moved to Sea Glass to start fresh with her own glassblowing studio. When the gorgeously rugged Mischa stops by her booth, the instant electricity between them is undeniable. But after their first earth-shattering kiss, Mischa's confession about being a virgin sends Lorna reeling, and her shocked reaction drives him away.

Trapped together during a Christmas Eve snowstorm, they get a second chance to explore the fire burning between them. From steamy showers to passionate proposals, this emotional story proves that some love stories are worth the wait, and the most beautiful art comes from two broken souls creating something whole together.

Tea Leaves and First Kisses is part of the His Cup of Tea paranormal romance series, where fortune telling brings deserving couples their own happily-ever-afters.

Tea Leaves and First Kisses is a first person POV, one-hour instalove read, perfect for your lunch break or work commute. Or simply for just taking a breather - you deserve it!
