Mei Ling Zhao is a hard as nails business woman. Love for her exists only in fantasies involving tall Texans in Stetson hats. Her success at work leaves her wanting to celebrate, but with no friends or a lover, she has no one to share the joy. Preferring to be alone to be lonely, she goes home for champagne, and decides to add a delivery of Chinese take out to her party for one.

However, after ordering, she goes to sleep, only awakening when someone batters on the door an hour later. She opens the door to her fantasy, a long, tall Texas, complete with the hat. Her special delivery quickly becomes much more special than she anticipated, but is there more to Travis than meets first glance?

If you're in the market for a book that's as heated as five spice powder, then without a doubt, this is what you are looking for. Its a very fast read, so even those with limited time can indulge.

 
 

Synopsis
They say the road to success is a lonely one. Newly named corporate executive of the Chinese American Development Corporation, Ms. Mei Ling Zhao, can attest to this. Hated by her subordinates, her acquired status has truly left her friendless and in need of some male attention. After a long week of dealing with spiteful employees, threatening letters, and one headache after another, she treats herself to a much needed drink and an order of fast-food—Chinese takeout, via special delivery. While she expects her meal to arrive smoking hot and in a timely manner, she doesn't anticipate her delivery boy to be tall, tanned Texan with a black Stetson, levis that cling to all the right places, and seafoam eyes that remind you of ocean water pooling on the shore. And yet, when she opens her door, that's exactly what she finds standing on her stoop. Seems the Chinatown Buffet is in the business of delivering more than just a tasty meal, and Mei Ling is about to find out what special delivery really means.
