The way Eloise wrinkled her nose was so much like Raul when he was considering something. “Chocolate chips are not for breakfast,” she said. “What are pamcakes?”
“They are a thing that is amazing with chocolate chips. I can show you.” I moved toward Raul.
Diego grabbed my wrist. “You’re not cooking. You’re our guest.”
“She’s family.” Raul pulled me free and the rest of the way into the kitchen. “And I’ll help.”
That sounded awkward and embarrassing. “You’re a world class chef. I’m a short order cook who tosses whatever’s in the fridge into a frying pan.”
“I’ll be your sous chef. You’re in charge, just tell me what to do.”
I eyed Raul suspiciously. It still sounded like a mistake to let him see how scattered I was when it came to cooking, but I was willing to give it a try. Besides, he probably knew how Eloise liked her eggs, and that would keep us from having a repeat of the peanut butter and jelly incident.
Cooking with Raul turned out to be more fun than I thought. We kept accidentally letting Eloise steal chocolate chips, and he was incredibly patient given the mess I made in his kitchen.
When we sat down to eat, everyone at the table was laughing. Joking.
Eloise declared that chocolate chip pamcakes were the best food ever, and I couldn’t help but beam.
This was what I wanted long term. I looked at the three other faces around the table, and I saw my future. Family. Food. Fun. Love. These amazing men and their little girl…
This was more perfect than I’d ever dared hope for, and it was all mine.
Thank you for traveling around the world, and falling in love with Carly, Diego, and Raul.
Kandace, Joystick, and Elijah are next, in THE EXCEPTION. Kandace wants to live life, but she’s torn between fun and responsibility. A one-night stand in Italy, with the sexy, tattooed Joystick, seems like the perfect way to let loose, but just for one night.
Back home, Eljah is just the kind of sweet, smart, and responsible she needs for real life. When Joystick walks back into both their lives, and Kandace realizes they have a messy past together, things get messy. When they all start to fall for each other, everything falls apart.
Grab THE EXCEPTION today for some sweet, sexy angst.

It’s lonely at the top.
Judith knew it would be when she clawed her way up, trading away favors and any personal life to get to where she is today—the head of the hottest new video game company in the industry.
When an old friend calls in one of those favors, she’s happy to help Xander out. His partner, Dominic, needs to impress some conservative clients, and showing up to get-to-know-you dinners with a heavily tattooed man on his arm isn’t the way to do it.
And there are far worse things Judith could be doing than pretending to be Dom’s fiancée.
When the fake kisses with Dominic start to feel real, she realizes there’s something missing in her life. Worse, she’s starting to realize she never should’ve let Xander get away.
But the three of them together will bring everything they’ve worked for toppling down around them. There’s no way love is worth that kind of sacrifice.
