★★★★★ I absolutely loved this story. I found their romance breath-taking and hot. I loved the recipes at the end and can’t wait to make some!—Cat, MM Good Book Reviews 

★★★★⋆ (4.25 stars) This gem: a sweet, moderately angsty novel full of smex, cowboys, and sunsets. The writing was fabulous. I got totally lost in the story and may have cursed up a storm. –Dani, My Fiction Nook

★★★★★ This story grabbed me from page one and I could not wait to find out what happens next. These characters get under your skin, and you root for them the whole way!

★★★★ Yeah, I adored this book, in case you couldn’t tell. Excellent writing, great flow, no lulls in the action, fun moments with a Le Cordon Bleu trained chef on the open range feeding a bunch of weathered and ravenous ranch hands salad and fruit – it was glorious.—Sandra, My Fiction Nook

★★★★★ I have been in love with EM Lynley’s books for a while, and this one is a particularly great story. I love the characters, especially the plethora of good ol’ boys on the ranch (I grew up on a farm, so there were a lot of characters that I felt particularly close to). –KT Hicks, Amazon review

Spaghetti Western

A Novel in the Delectable Series

Cordon Bleu-trained chef Riley Emerson arrives in Aspen, Colorado for a summer at the best restaurant in town, only to discover his jerk of a boyfriend has dumped him, leaving his heart and his plans in tatters. Doubting himself and longing for a change of pace, he takes a low-paying position at the Rocking Z guest ranch, though he expects nature up close and personal won’t hold a candle to his exciting Paris lifestyle.

When born-and-bred cattle rancher Colby Zane spots a newcomer being pawed at by a passel of horny cowboys at Aspen’s Club Rawhide, he rushes in, throws the guy over his shoulder, and rescues him. Sober, Riley Emerson is sweet and sexy, but not interested in more than a one-night stand. Still, Colby’s over the moon when Riley later arrives as the new cook on his family’s ranch.

But all’s not well at the Rocking Z. Unsurmountable financial problems force them to seek a cash infusion from outside investor Fitz Wellington. Fitz is hot for Colby, and he won’t sign on the dotted line without some very personal incentives. The future of the ranch is at stake, and Colby’s just that desperate, but saving the Z might mean losing Riley.

Writing two different holiday stories guaranteed my releases would bunch up in December. Gingerbread Palace just came out, and I haven’t even mentioned Snow Job except in passing. Here’s the gorgeous cover art. It’s coming 12/17 from Loose Id. They don’t do pre-orders, but you can add it to your Goodreads shelf with the handy button below, and I’ll post additional buy links as soon as I have them.

This gorgeous cover is by Fiona Jayde. She did the covers for my Totally Bound titles that came out earlier this year (A Lesser Evil and Venus Envy). She’s incredibly talented and I’m thrilled to have another one of her creations.

Two weeks in a remote mountain cabin with his hunk of a jock college roommate Monty Jameson has Zack Gregory hot under the collar in all the wrong ways. Truth is, Zack would rather be almost anywhere else, but it’s his only option if he’s to finish a project he needs to graduate from the University of Washington. Even worse, the nearest town is a faux-Bavarian village that looks like someone poured a snowglobe out on the eastern Cascades. Late-night fantasies aside, Zack’s no fan of manslut Monty, preferring his men with virtues that are more than skin-deep.

A few days into their retreat, Monty’s raw sexuality and flirtatiousness has Zack questioning his resolve. The idyllic setting is Zack’s Christmas fantasy come true, and even the splashy village eventually works its charm on him. Then when the cabin’s power goes out and Monty lays himself bare–in every way imaginable and then some–Zack sees a whole new set of possibilities. But will falling for Monty make the best Christmas ever, or is Zack just getting snowed?

If you haven’t started, I hope you’ll start. I’ve posted about 25k so far, and there is plenty more to come… literally.

It’s NSFW in the most delicious way,  a fun, smutty story with a hint of romance.

Jeremy’s a grad student who’s always short of money. When his fellowship gets canceled he’s tempted to take a job at a men’s dining club as a serving boy. The uniforms are skimpy and he’s expected to remove an item of clothing after each course.  He can handle that, but he soon discovers there’s more on the menu here than fine cuisine. How far will he go to pay his tuition, and will money get in the way when he realizes he’s interested in more from one of his gentlemen?

Part 2 (NSFW)

Part 3 (NSFW)

When Sancus, the Roman God of Loyalty, finally meets a mortal with whom he desires a real relationship, he can’t pursue Aurelio because he’s under a curse…or is he?

It’s been a busy month so far, with the second release in two weeks. This novella is another story that’s very dear to my heart. I absolutely love Greek and Roman mythology and have done a lot of reading and research on ancient Rome. It seemed a natural fit for me to try my hand at a story featuring a sexy Roman god. I quickly hit on an idea of him being under a spell or curse which made him do things he didn’t want to. I had much of the story planned before choosing which god would be the main character.

I was thrilled to discover Sancus, the Roman god of loyalty and honesty. He has no Greek counterpart, so he’s relatively unknown in the modern era. The word sanctity derives from his name, which gives you some idea of what he represents. Thus Sancus was perfect for my god who could stop chasing after hot guys, because it’s so opposite his true nature and duty.

The curse also wrecks his love life and threatens his opportunity for a relationship with a mortal named Aurelio. You’ll have to check out Venus Envy to find out how Sancus figures out how to end the curse…

(Venus Envy was originally published in 2009 by Cobblestone Press. The second edition is about 50% longer than the original, with several more scenes and more super-hot sex.)

Blurb

Sancus, Roman God of Loyalty and Honesty, snubs an advance from Venus. Furious, the Goddess of Love convinces Cupid to cast a curse on him, causing Sancus to be attracted to every hot guy he meets. In fact, he can’t say no.

During a week of almost non-stop arousal and sex Sancus meets Aurelio, a mortal that he desperately wants to see again, but until the curse is lifted he fears ruining any chance for a real relationship. The only way to end the curse is for Sancus to untangle the finely-woven threads and discover it’s actually a love spell…
