Father Galen Murphy doesn’t want to be a priest anymore. Born into power and privilege, at eighteen, he defied destiny and renounced his birthright. For twenty-four years, he’s followed his calling and served God, living a life of poverty and chastity. But something is missing. When a tragic loss makes him question his faith, and a pair of dark brown eyes make him rethink his choices, Galen takes off his collar and chooses an ordinary life. Birdie Garcia is too young for a forty-two-year-old man. She’s prudish and devout, with an old soul, a reverent heart, and a sensible head on her shoulders. No stranger to hard work, she makes it her mission to help launch her beloved sister’s matchmaking business—-until their newest client turns out to be a priest! She couldn't possibly help lead one of God's anointed further away from his calling. It’s forbidden, sacrilegious, and will surely earn her a first-class ticket to hell. Then why does she fantasize about the sweetest man she’s ever met? Why does she dream of his handsome face, his majestic frame, and the storm-blue eyes that have the power to see into her soul? Galen knows he’s found the girl of his dreams. Despite Birdie’s reluctance and their twenty-three-year age difference, he won’t be dissuaded. He’s a patient man with years of practice at self-denial. How difficult can a few more months of simmering sexual tension, burgeoning lust, and explosive desire be? Find out! This steamy romance includes a cat and mouse chase between double virgins who fall head over heels in love and quickly discover the naughty side of wedded bliss. Includes religious references that will make you clutch your pearls and laugh out loud—-but may offend the faint of heart. You’ve been warned.

Matilda is a Texas girl in love with a Philly boy who loves to write dirty books about two people who trip into love and fumble their way into a Filthy, Funny, Happily Ever After. I live in Austin, with my husband, two crazy Chihuahuas and an even crazier cat. And I spend most of my day writing dirty romance books about older men who fall in love with younger women and make fools of themselves trying to win their hearts. If you love Dark Romance, you’ve come to the wrong place. I don’t like dark heroes. I like my hero to be successful, sweet, suave, sophisticated and kind—- and then I want him to lose all his composure and game when he meets the heroine. I want him to turn into a bumbling idiot when he spots the girl of his dreams and revert to a teenage boy in a man’s body trying to win her. I like my heroines to be witty, intelligent, and unshakeable—-who could do just as well without a man—until the hero convinces her otherwise. I write A LOT OF AGE GAP—because I LOVE AGE GAP ROMANCE. I’ve got no other excuse for it. No matter what kind of story it is, my ladies are ADORED, and my endings are always Happily EVER AFTER, not HFN. Want a free Ebook?
