Quinn and Carson have been best friends since second grade, inseparable but not romantic in any sense. Sure he was getting more handsome every year, but he was her *best friend*. Off-limits. Taboo. During their college years, they made a silly drunken pact to get married if they were both single when they turned thirty. Then they drifted apart. Every failed relationship in her life has reminded Quinn of how special a man her best friend truly is, and how all other men fall short. Now years later, goal-oriented Carson makes a surprise visit for Thanksgiving dinner with a newly made fortune and one thing left to accomplish. Can both people get the lucky side of the wishbone? Wishboned is part of Second Helpings, a group of ten short stories released by acclaimed romance authors. Each book is a second-chance romance that takes place during Thanksgiving. All guaranteed sweeter than sweet potato pie and dirtier than a sink full of dishes!

Rachel Malinsky had been curvy as long as she could remember. BBW, voluptuous, Rubenesque... she'd heard all the sexy ways of describing her figure, but a string of previous boyfriends had nonetheless left her for thinner women. Disgruntled and frustrated, she decided to try something she'd read about in a popular erotica novel, not realizing that doing so would change her life forever. Rachel wasn't certain the "Billionaire seeks submissive" ad in Craigslist was actually placed by a billionaire, nor did she know if this man would be interested in her very curvy body. Hell, she wasn't even sure she even wanted to be a submissive to begin with. But the moment he started instructing her to do things that terrified her, such as stripping for him on video or exposing a breast in public, she was hooked. Now if she only knew who he was or what he looked like. The mysterious alpha billionaire remained hidden behind a computer screen while he sent her out dressed provocatively -- or even undressed. Could Rachel ever convince the man she knew only as M to meet her face-to-face? More importantly, how could she be falling in love with a man she had never even seen?

"Whoa—lesbians!" That was Stacy Alexander’s first thought as she observes the group of women in the new shop across the street kiss each other in greeting. Stacy had been staring out her apartment window trying to think of a motive for the death of the character she’d killed off in her mystery novel. Ah ha—extortion! What could be a better reason for the murder of my heroine than being blackmailed because she’s a lesbian? Now all I need is a lesbian to teach me about the ‘lesbian lifestyle.’ That’s where policewoman Jo Martin enters the picture. Jo has two rules by which she religiously lives her life: never get involved with someone already in a relationship and never, ever date a straight woman. As Jo and Stacy collaborate on the novel, will Stacy want to gain a more intimate knowledge of the topic, and will Jo hold steadfastly to her rules? Catch up with old friends Amanda, Mallory, Nic and Dana and meet some interesting new characters in this sequel to Awaiting My Assignment and Sunset Island. Each book is a stand alone novel, but best read in order of publication (Sunset Island, Awaiting My Assignment and Anything Your Heart Desires.) About the AuthorIf you had told me, when I was struggling to write a one page story for my high school writing composition class, that I would one day write seven novels, I would have bet everything that would never happen. No one, especially me, ever considered it a remote possibility. Thirty years later, during a blizzard, having read all the lesbian fiction books I had in the house, I declared to my surprised partner, “I think I could write one of these.” So you see, I wrote my first book just to see if I could do it. The completed novel occupied space on my bookshelf, untouched for many years. One day while in a cleaning frenzy, I considered disposing of the neatly stacked and now age-yellowed pages. As I began to read the long forgotten work, I was surprised to discover that the story was enjoyable. Editing and retyping the first book provided a new sense of accomplishment and additional tales followed. Now retired, I live on the east coast with my partner of twenty-nine years. Because we love a challenge we provide a loving home for two spoiled cats instead of a dog. In addition to writing, any spare time is devoted to editing, reading, mastering new computer programs, and socializing with friends. My published romance novels include books one and two of the Friends Series: Sunset Island (September 2013) and Awaiting My Assignment (November 2013). The Interim, a novelette that provides additional details about the life of Sunset Island's Ren Madison, was released in November 2013. I have four other novels in process.
