Summary

You can't program love…or can you?

Kayleigh Renshaw has come up with the idea for a brilliant "compatibility app," a new kind of matchmaking software. All she needs is a programmer to help her bring the idea to market…and she knows exactly who she wants. But Niall Walsh—a code whiz and her former best friend—has been avoiding her since he returned from Afghanistan. In spite of their history, and some sparks that go beyond friendship, he's proving reluctant…. Is it her, or is something darker holding him back?

Excerpt

     Strong hands slid into hers, and Kayleigh shivered with pleasure. “I wondered where you went.”
     She forced herself to meet his kind eyes. “I’m sorry about that, Niall. Sorry for what I said. Sorry for lots of things. You’ve always been such a good friend to me, and I treated you badly.”
     “A friend?” His eyes searched hers, and she felt her heart open up to him like a flower touched by dawn.      He wanted more than friendship. She couldn’t predict how this would go, but after years of knowing each other, they had a good start.
     “No. Not just as a friend,” she admitted, and felt herself melt at the passionate flare in his eyes. She angled her head and leaned closer, aching for his kiss.
     “We have to get out of here,” he said suddenly and stood, pulling her with him.
     “Huh? Why?” His words broke through her romantic fog, and she flushed, embarrassed. Had she misread the situation? Either way, she wouldn’t regret it. But another look into his soulful eyes reassured her. She was right about him. She knew it down deep.
     “Because I can’t kiss you here.” His eyes slid to Gianna’s open door then back to her, and heat raced up her neck and flooded her cheeks.
     “Oh.”
     He lifted her fingers to his lips, then pulled her out the door.
