He puts his fingers gently on my chin, lifts my head slightly and softly places a gentle kiss on my lips.

The road to love is never easy in Kate Squires’s delightful new novel, That Kiss.

Chloe Shepherd and Matt Masen have been best friends since they were kids. But when they share a passionate kiss after a high school graduation party, neither know exactly how to react.

Five years later, Chloe is just launching a successful career as a Broadway dancer when Matt gets a job at the exact same theatre!

Despite having not seen each other since that fateful night so many years ago, their spark is immediate—and overwhelming.

Incredibly naïve, Chloe is still unsure of Matt’s feelings for her. Any attempts to fight her growing attraction are immediately put to rest after a passionate confession leaves them both head-over-heels.

But soon obstacles threaten the happy couple in the form of Matt’s vengeful ex-girlfriend and an eager outsider who wants nothing more than to make Chloe forget all about Matt.

Can Matt and Chloe wade through the lies and find their way back to each other? Or is their relationship over before it can even begin?
