Uncovering Her Cravings
2020
One night she called a mistake, but he's never forgotten... Leilani Mitchell is obsessed with happily ever after … as long as it comes in a book, so becoming a social media manager for a publishing company was a no-brainer. It's safer and less complicated than real life. Seeing her dad alone after her mother’s death made her promise herself the best way to never lose love was to never go looking for it in the first place. But when her friend asks her to be her maid of honor and partners her with the man who turned her world upside down in one night, the next six months will be torture. Alexander Rutherford has crushed on his older sister’s best friend for more years than he cares to mention. But even after sharing one passionate night together, she still keeps him at an arm's length. Now that he's a successful business owner, he's out to prove he's worthy of her heart. Leilani does her best to stamp out the fire his touch kindles in her, but the more time she spends with him the more she craves a happy ending that doesn't come from a book.

What if they can’t keep the heat in the kitchen? Desire Blackstone enjoys two things in life, cooking and doing whatever or whomever she wants.

Her no-sex diet was designed to help her build real connections, but she hadn’t counted on meeting a hot photographer. Midnight Wolfe has been living the dream, half his time spent at home, the other half traveling the world and taking photos. But after the death of his mother, everything is on hold. He has a decision to make, run his mother’s beloved bakery or continue jet-setting as a freelance photographer for a travel and food blog. After an engagement party leads to a heated encounter between Desire and Midnight, the chef and the baker struggle to keep the heat in the kitchen, but their undeniable hunger seems to be insatiable. More than that, it’s leading them toward a love neither thought they’d uncover.

Now, burdened by regrets and a career cut short, a replay for her heart could score him the only touchdown that had ever mattered. But Tra’Mel has to overcome Jada's emotional obstacles involving her vindictive ex-fiancé, the whims of a domineering toddler, and the heartbreak he’d caused her the day he’d exited her life.
