More details about each story below...

MONDAY: Tall, Dark & Aromatic 
When a sinfully gorgeous man enters Cafélicious, the owner, Pansie, is consumed with his beauty and although she thinks he might be homeless, he has captured her heart without even knowing it. Basil, the man in question, is instantly smitten by Pansie and makes it his mission in life to woo her with his poetry and charm. Could it be that he is the man for her at the so-called Hookup Café?





TUESDAY: A Double Shot 
When a hunky delivery man steps through baker Marzi’s kitchen doors of Cafélicious early one morning, she gets from more than the supplies needed to create her amazing sweet treats. Avery gives a whole new meaning to the words excellent customer service and he’s willing to deliver far more than his goods. Marzi busy with her business and personal issues, limits Avery to one day a week. Will he continue to accept her limitations or will he breakthrough and get her to provide him with dessert anytime, anywhere?






WEDNESDAY: With Lots of Cream 
When Evie welcomes everyone to Cafélicious’ Open-Mic night, she finds herself doing something totally out of her comfort zone thanks to a heart-stopping, beautiful man sitting close to the stage sporting sexy arm tats. Nate stares up at the vision before him with his clear blue eyes and finds himself lost to her as he watches the shy café server belt out a sensuous song. Their love of music draws them closer together. It was supposed to be a summer fling, but will it turn into something more?





THURSDAY: Bold, Rich & Strong 
When one very muscular man walks up to the counter of Cafélicious, head barista Saylor is abruptly asked if she was named after a one-night stand her mother had with a stranger. Not one easily intimidated, she puts Deacon in his place which only seems to make him come on stronger and when he tells her that she likes him because he is bold, rich, and strong, she isn’t sure if that’s true or if she wants to slap him. Could it be that he is right?





FRIDAY: Laced with Spice 
When Vivienne joins an online blind-dating service and sets a date, she has him meet her at Cafélicious owned by her best friend where they can check him out to make sure he is not a dud or worse. Unbeknownst to mystery man Mason, her friends are texting her a message that reads laced with spice meaning that he is handsome and that she should show up. What will happen when he finds out that she has cheated the system?





SATURDAY: Light, Full Bodied & Screwed 
When a stunning woman sits down at a counter where chef Vin is attempting to create gourmet dishes, he decides that she should be banned from sitting so close to him. It turns out that she will not be leaving his sight as Darla is the new wine rep in charge of pairing his cuisine with her wines. Listening to her wine presentations that put him on the edge, he categorizes her as light, full-bodied and himself as screwed. Can these two pair up outside of Cafélicious?

Run for the Rose...Run to finish a Book

I have decided to dive back into a book I have been working on off and on through the years romance at the horse racing track...mainly Santa Anita Park where I was introduced to the ponies as a toddler by my father who has always loved the horses...and, of course, I will be dedicating the book to him... Betting on Misters (Hoping for a Triple Crown) and I hope to release it on June 7th, the day before the last leg of the Triple Crown... NONE of these are the actual cover... I'm just playing with ideas... 






Stay tuned for the REAL COVER REVEAL

My Own Little World

LOVE seeing my books in printed paperbacks… there are a few more not pictured… Andddd… they all contain made-up characters (of course), companies, celebrities/famous people, products (too many to list), restaurants including food delivering via CuisineCab—I made up that name during the lockdown period when we would deliver meals to my mother, I even started my own Butler Communications company with its own social media apps and podcasts: On the SEEN, EyeSpied Gossip Rag and television networks: Liquid Rush TV, VueTV, DesignTV, CuisineNetwork… and I started an online website FashionistaForward.com that you can visit and read posts by more of my made-up characters; Frank Fashion is probably the most famous contributor as he is in many of my books…




It’s a LOT of work creating my OWN LITTLE WORLD but I absolutely ADORE it!!! You can read more about all of these books and find links below…


I do write romance into my books with non-graphic Fade-to-Black intimate scenes but I also write stories about people’s lives that aren’t always filled with romance…family sagas, suspense, friendships, women’s issues, etc so I’m not sure my books fit into the typical romance genre… Andddddd recently, I have been working on what some might call a paranormal romance or magical realism romance; I’m not sure how to label it.

That’s what I call author life/author problems…
But, again, I LOVE writing!!!

Writing Challenges

Writing series books…even standalone ones need to have some connection… Written several years is a challenge and why I am often vague about what the year is or specific dates… That’s been my latest challenge as I attempt to finish my HEART SERIES… three standalones about three friends and their romances: Hadley and Gerard, Chanel and Levi, Solena and Rey… Clashing Hearts released August 2017… Stealing Hearts is releasing March 22nd and my goal for Exploring Hearts is a July 19th release… No spoilers in any of the books in the series but they all have a same timeframe to start…challenging…

SNEAK PEEK of book three here…

Covers by LKO Designs




Hadley Gentry was nothing like everyone imagined and the funny thing was that she had no idea what people expected as she had not asked to be popular.

Gerard Perry was never given a chance as he was teased and ridiculed from the first day of kindergarten until he graduated from high school and went off to college.

When Gerard comes back to town a new doctor, he runs into one of the people associated with the people he least wanted to see, and when he has the opportunity to rub his success in the face of the Homecoming Queen, he finds that maybe he never really knew Hadley at all.
