“OMG, Mr. Sexy Eyes spent the night here with you,” Anthia said, walking into the kitchen. “You never let guys spend the night. Spill, girl. I’m dating Rex now so I promise not to get too jealous.”

Sitting at the table with a coffee, Jinx shook her head, unsure of what to tell her roommate about Logan.

Before she could say anything, Anthia held up a hand, stopping her. “Don’t try to deny it. I saw his Ferrari in the driveway when I came in. I was going to set my alarm clock so I could see what he looked like in the morning, but then I decided I didn’t want him to see my morning-after-Coco’s bedraggled look.”

Jinx hated the way girls shared private details of their love lives and had never been one to take part. She knew Anthia was chomping at the bit for something juicy, but Logan meant too much to her to turn him into the subject of girl gossip or “a catch.” She had managed to satisfy her roommate yesterday with a few tidbits about Portia and the party at the nightclub, but she’d left out anything about Logan, including the fact that she had slept at his place and not Jenna’s.

“He was gone by then anyway,” Jinx said. “He left in the middle of the night around three. Wanted to beat the traffic going into the city.”

Anthia took a seat across from her, leaning forward with an eager look, but

Jinx stood up, saying, “I’ve got to run. I’m meeting my sister for breakfast.” As she headed out of the kitchen, she added, “It’s some personal family stuff we need to discuss,” to prevent Anthia from asking if she could join them.

Jinx felt bad, seeing her roommate’s disappointed expression, but she could not help it. Anthia was only twenty-one and a young twenty-one at that. This situation with Logan was complicated and the family secrets it involved were not things she would want to share with her.

Natalie’s Coffee Cove in the small town of North Cove had been the first venture Jinx’s big sister had tried. Five years later, and now Natalie had another diner in the South Fork, two bakeries, a catering business, plus an impressive line of baked goods that she sold nationally, not to mention having won baking awards and being featured on a national cooking show.

And becoming Mrs. Shane Stone and a mother.

But Natalie never forgot her beloved first diner and still showed up here once a week, buzzing around to each table, refilling coffee and talking with friends in the tightly knit community. Natalie was the epitome of a hometown girl and people loved her for it.

This morning Jinx walked past the window booths and waded through the three rows of shiny white tables, nodding at former neighbors and old friends, as she made her way to Natalie’s private office. The photos on the walls and shelves used to all be of Natalie’s West Highland Terrier, Phil, but now she also had photos of her husband, Shane, and their baby son, Clark, and their adopted daughter, Phoebe.
