Golden Orchid

Divorced. Single Mother.
Words that Calli never imagined she'd use to describe herself, but today, she would sign those fateful papers and bring the words to life-her life. Her career is going well enough. With the financial arrangements in the decree, she'd be able to maintain a solid middle-class status. Her plans for the future are set...keep on keeping on. Maybe one day, her mother could accept her divorce. Maybe one day she'd be comfortable alone. Maybe one day, her life would turn out how it was supposed to be with Bennett. But for today, she'd go to happy hour and celebrate her freedom with her friends.
The variable Calli's calculations don't include: restaurateur, Dominic Moretti.
Food. Fitness.
The two pleasures in life that Dom thrives upon. Moretti's, his first love, his upscale flagship restaurant in Minneapolis, has grown to one of the most in-demand venues in the Twin Cities. When he isn't traveling for business, he enjoys overseeing the floor as his alter-ego: restaurant manager, Nic Moore. In his other foodie ventures, he operates as the better-known Dom of The Dinner Shark on Food Network. All work and very little play keep his accounts bulging at the seams, and he thoroughly enjoys a city-boy bachelor's lifestyle.
The secret ingredient he has yet to factor into his perfect recipe: Callista Lindley.
