All I've Ever Needed

This is the romance version of the erotic romance novella, After the Storm. Natalie Harding can't believe that her absolutely gorgeous work colleague Stephano Romano is attracted to her. But after one unexpected Friday evening encounter at the office, she's convinced that he may returns the feeling she's harboured for him in the fifteen months they have worked together. Her euphoria doesn't last for long, though. The very next Monday she watches in shock as he kisses the young woman who drops him off to work at the office and then saunters in looking as though she had kept him up all night. Is there an innocent explanation for the kiss and Stephano's bleary-eyed appearance? Did his father suffer chest pains and have to be rushed to the hospital where the doctors kept him in all night for close monitoring? Or is it just an excuse Stephano's using to cover his night of pleasure with another woman? This novella is 27,175 words in length.
