Publisher's summary
Love Simmers in a Retro Cleveland Diner…
...will they save the diner, or will the diner save them?
In the heart of Cleveland's East Side Slavic neighborhood, the faded red brick of the Sweet Taste Diner holds more than just the scent of coffee and fried comfort—it cradles a secret romance as irresistible as its blue plate special.
Shane, the new employee with a checkered past and enough charm to soften the hardest of hearts, aims to prove that his days of trouble are behind him. Lila, the captivating Afro-Latina waitress with a laugh as bright as the diner's neon sign, juggles orders and the weight of family with graceful strength.
But when their after-hours passion threatens to spill into daylight, Shane and Lila must face the heat of the world outside the diner’s chrome-lined walls. In a place where every customer feels like family, can their love withstand the brewing storm between the savory aromas and crackling vinyl seats?
Stefan, the owner, and Rosita, an employee, both have their eyes open, but nobody is ready for the surprise that shakes them all to the core and might ruin their chances at love.
Dive into "Diner Devotion," a heaping serving of urban drama sprinkled with sparks of love and attraction. Author Jasmyne Jackson mixes the perfect blend of sweet and savory in this heart-tingling romance that’ll have you rooting for love against the odds.
For fans of fiery passions and tales of resilience, this novel is a testament to the power of love in the toughest of places. Part of the Cleveland Hearts series of Neo-Contemporary African American Urban Romance.
