#77 Cherish Hard by Nalini Singh

This is the first book that is spun off from the Rock Kiss series, but you don’t need to know anything from the previous series to read these. These are contemporary romance with a HEA. I read them because I have read the author’s Urban Fantasy series and enjoy those as well. Sailor is a professional landscaper that gets a surprise kiss from one of the teachers at a school he is currently working at. Isa is working evenings as an English literature teacher for adults but she is also the heir to a crafting company that she really doesn’t want to work at. Isa has some self-confidence issues due to people dating her for her business connections. Her kissing Sailor was spontaneity that wasn’t in her life. After several crossed connections they finally start dating and true love wins out. A nice sweet story.
