Prepare to break the glass - you're going to need your fire extinguisher! I can't forget the luscious girl I rescued from the fire. Ally. She's a stunning beauty with curves hot enough to melt the frost off a polar bear's paws. With all the wicked ways she tempts me, I want her sugary sweetness even more than one of the Red Velvet Raptures from her cupcake shop. I'll taste her. I'll ravish her until she screams my name. I'll own her. But how can I keep Ally in my arms and my bed where she belongs when an evil blast from my past has shown up at the counter of her cupcake bakery wanting a pound of flesh she doesn't deserve? My sordid history has come back to bite me. And it's wearing heels. ***** HOT CAKES is a full-length steamy romantic comedy from USA Today Bestselling Author, Colleen Charles, featuring Colleen's first naughty talker, the smokin' hot fireman, Gabe Moreno.

After 26 years in Corporate leadership at a Fortune 500, I discovered people within the organization lacked integrity. I’d always known deep in my soul that I was trying to fit a square peg in to a round hole since I’m the typical creative type. I miss my staff but I don’t miss the corporate world. It’s been said that the Universe will let you know if something isn’t right for you. The first time, it will hit you with a pebble. Then a brick. Then a boulder. Let’s just say that I got flattened. When my fifteen pound toy dog, Nigel, was threatened, I knew it was time to say goodbye. It’s true. Here’s what I found within the first thirty days of being free. Writing stories from my heart that readers love means more to me than working myself in to an early grave for people who only care about their bottom line. My heart has never been more full and my soul has never been more satisfied. I’ve never worked so hard in my life but it doesn’t even feel like work. It’s worth it. All of it. Because it’s about the joy that’s found within the journey. The highs and the lows because I get to write stories for all of you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for reading, enjoying and recommending the stories that I write. When you share my work with others, nothing is more rewarding. Your word of mouth is my very best friend … that, and your reviews. There is nothing more important to me than all of you. I love to hear from my readers and answer all communications personally.
