Bringing Home the Bad Boy (Second Chance #1)(99)
2. Put a drizzle of olive oil in a large frying pan and toss in cubed potatoes, green pepper, and onions. Cook over medium-high heat, tossing on occasion. Evan employs the fancy flip-into-the-air move, but he also cooks in his boxer briefs, so you do what is right for you. Employing a wooden spoon is perfectly acceptable.
3. Put a drizzle of olive oil in a small frying pan and heat over medium-high. Crack two eggs into the pan and immediately lower the heat to medium. You want a runny yoke for this meal, so you don’t want to cook them too fast. Carefully flip so as not to break the yoke. Evan prefers to utilize a utensil for this endeavor since the flip move is a bit risky.
4. Make toast. Butter toast. This should need no further explanation.
5. Pile seared-to-perfection red potatoes, onions, and green peppers onto the center of your plate, sprinkle on sharp cheddar cheese, and lay your over-easy egg on top. Serve with toast, making sure to cut them into triangles (no shoddy squares, please) and—this is important—your first bite should be the one where you cut through the center of the egg and yoke runs into the potatoes.
6. Enjoy! Oh, and don’t forget the coffee. Charlie takes hers with lots and lots of cream.
Happy cooking!

About the Author
Jessica Lemmon has always been a dreamer. At some point, after she decided head-in-the-clouds thinking was childish, she went out and got herself a job… and then she got another one because that one was lousy. And when that one stopped being fulfilling, she went out and got another… and another. Soon it became apparent that she’d only be truly happy doing what she loved. And since “eating potato chips” isn’t a viable career, she opted to become a writer. With fire in her heart, she dusted off a book she’d started years prior, finished it, and submitted it. It may have been the worst book ever, but it didn’t stop her from writing another one. Now she has several books finished, several more started, and even more marinating in her brain, and she couldn’t be happier. She firmly believes God gifts us with talents for a purpose, and with His help, you can create the life you want.
Jessica is an ex–meat eater, and also a writer, artist, dreamer, wife, and den mother to two dogs.

ACCLAIM FOR JESSICA LEMMON’S LOVE IN THE BALANCE SERIES
HARD TO HANDLE
“[Aiden is] a perfect balance of sensitive, heart-on-his-sleeve guy who is as sexy and ‘alpha’ as they come… A real romance that’s not about dominance but equality and mutual need—while not sacrificing [the] hotness factor. A rare treat.”
—PolishedBookworm.com
“Lemmon’s latest is a pleasant example of living in the present and celebrating second, and sometimes third, chances.”
—RT Book Reviews
“[Aiden is] a fantastic character. He is a motorcycle-riding, tattooed, rebel kind of guy with a huge heart. What’s not to love?… I really enjoyed this book and I think readers will find it entertaining and heartfelt.”
—RomanceRewind.blogspot.com
“I smiled through a lot of it, but seeing Aiden and Sadie deal with all of their hurdles was also incredibly moving and had me tearing up more than once as well… I can’t wait to see what Lemmon will bring to the table next.”
—HerdingCats-BurningSoup.com
“Aiden has all the characteristics of a bad boy but with the heart of that perfect hero… Their gradual spark leads to some well-written steamier scenes.”

CAN’T LET GO

TEMPTING THE BILLIONAIRE
“A smashing debut! Charming, sexy, and brimming with wit—you’ll be adding Jessica Lemmon to your bookshelves for years to come!”
—Heidi Betts, USA Today bestselling author “Lemmon’s characters are believable and flawed. Her writing is engaging and witty. If I had been reading this book out in public, everyone would have seen the huge grin on my face. I had so much fun reading this and adore it immensely.”
—LiteraryEtc.wordpress.com “If you are interested in a loveable romance about two troubled souls who overcome the odds to find their own happily ever after, I would certainly recommend that you give Tempting the Billionaire a try. It was definitely a great Valentine’s Day read, for sure!”
