Smooth Operator: Romancing the Phone, #2

By Mellanie Szereto

She's a 50-year-old divorcée with an empty nest and a lonely heart. He's a truck driver who's in it for the long haul.

Rose Chambers is a divorcée with an empty nest, two businesses, and a lonely heart. At least she doesn't have to talk to herself. Her 1-900-HOT-TALK clients are happy to converse—among many other imaginary oral activities—to help her pay the bills her small-town lumberyard can't cover. When she hires a new delivery driver, her life gets even more interesting.

Harley-riding Barton Holloway is happy to trade driving a big rig for delivering building materials, especially when he discovers his new boss is an old flame. Overhearing her risqué phone calls brings the spark back to life, but a little challenge from her friends adds fuel to the no-longer-dormant attraction. He'll have to convince her to ride off into the sunset with him on his motorcycle built for two.
