Thereâs no mistaking the real thing
Everything in Corra Colemanâs world is looking up since she agreed to run the gift shop at her familyâs antebellum B and B. The job offers a fresh start after her unhappy marriageâand a tantalizing temptation in the form of tech millionaire Christopher Williams. Her brotherâs high-school buddy has come home to their small Kentucky town and is now pursuing her with a passion sheâs never known, but definitely reciprocates.
Though he grew up poor, Chris has realized his childhood ambition of becoming one of Danvilleâs wealthiest sons. As he restores the townâs oldest mansion, he already knows who he wants to share it with. Corra is all grown upâgorgeous, warmhearted and no longer off-limits. But with her newly returned ex trying to win her back, can Chris show her the way loveâs truly supposed to be?
Corra took a bite of the cake and closed her eyes. When she licked the remaining icing from her lips, he wanted to reach over and help her out.
âMmm, this is so good, and moist.â Then she took a sip of wine.
Chris did the same.
After a few minutes of talking and eating, he noticed chocolate on Corraâs lip.
He leaned closer to her. âYouâve got something right there,â he said, before licking the speck of chocolate from her bottom lip.
Corra smiled. âDid you really just do that? That was a movie move if Iâve ever seen one.â
âNot original enough for you, huh?â
She laughed. âNot quite. Why donât you try something like this?â Corra leaned over and grabbed him by the collar. âLetâs see what your cake tastes like.â
The moment her mouth met his, warmth flooded his body and the desire to take her became an overpowering need. He wanted her closer.
Dear Reader,
Thank you so much for purchasing The Only One for Me, the second book in the Coleman House series. I hope youâll enjoy reading Corra and Christopherâs story. Coleman House is a series near and dear to my heart. While riding through the countryside in Kentucky I saw this massive house that reminded me of Tara from Gone with the Wind. My curiosity about who lived there took over, and my own experience at a B and B fueled the rest. Running both an organic farm and a B and B is hard work. Nobody knows that better than the Colemans.

Chapter 1
Corra Coleman danced around her cozy kitchen preparing breakfast and lunch for her children, Jamie and Katie, while she kept a keen eye on the clock. A typical Wednesday morning at the Coleman household.
âMom, I canât find my charm bracelet,â Katie whined.
Corra finished stuffing their lunch boxes, and then pushed them to the end of the counter. âHoney, itâs not in your backpack?â
âNo, thatâs where Iâm looking.â Katie stood up and turned her backpack upside down, spilling the contents onto the middle of the kitchen floor.
âKatie!â Corra barked.
âMom, can I go back upstairs and get my baseball glove?â Jamie asked from his seat at the kitchen table.
âHave you finished your cereal?â Corra asked, as she hurried over to help Katie sort through her belongings on the floor.
âYes, maâam.â
âOkay, but hurry. The school bus will be outside any minute now, and weâre already in trouble for holding up the bus.â
Jamie pushed his chair back and ran for the stairs.
âItâs not here.â Katie started to cry.
âWell, honey, maybe itâs in your room. Go on up and look for it real quick.â The bracelet was a birthday present from her uncle Rollin last year. The first day she wore it to school she aced her exam and was selected as the lead in her school play. Since then, she wore her lucky charm to school every day.
