BOOK DESCRIPTION
Sometimes you have to lose it all to find what
you really need.
Photographer Kay Turner
is dealt a double whammy when she flies home for her grandmother’s funeral to
find her boyfriend with another woman. Now with two losses to mourn, she
retreats to her newly inherited beach house to clear her head.
Everything at the beach
is familiar: the sounds of the ocean, the scent of her grandmother’s
perfume—and the irresistible smile of James Margolis. The man Kay spent her
adolescence pining for is every bit as charming as she remembers.
James always thought of
Kay as “a nice kid”, but he feels something very different for the woman she’s
become. Especially, when he asks if she’d be willing to part with some of her
grandmother’s recipes for his new restaurant—and they wind up sharing much more
than culinary secrets.
But as their
relationship deepens, Kay finds herself caught between the demands of her dream
career as a travel photographer, and a chance for happiness with the one man
she’s wanted for a lifetime.
Warning: This foodie
romance contains sensual scone baking, a heroine who discovers one bad apple
hasn’t spoiled her appetite, and a delicious hero you can’t help but crave.
Blend well, serve hot.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Karen Stivali is a
prolific writer, compulsive baker and chocoholic with a penchant for books,
movies and fictional British men. When she's not writing, she can be found
cooking extravagant meals and serving them to family and friends, who never
seem to mind the excessive quantities she tends to prepare. She attributes her
ability to multitask to the fact that she rarely sleeps, which gives her more
hours every day. Prior to deciding to write full time Karen worked as a hand
drawn animator, a clinical therapist, and held various food-related jobs
ranging from waitress to specialty cake maker. Planning elaborate parties and
fundraisers takes up what's left of her time and sanity.
Karen has always been
fascinated by the way people relate to one another so she favors books and
movies that feature richly detailed characters and their relationships. In her
own writing she likes to explore the dynamics between characters and has a
tendency to craft romantic tales filled with sarcasm and sexy details. Although
she writes in three genres (erotic romance, contemporary romance and women's
fiction) all of her stories are love stories with happily ever after endings.
Karen has published
several erotic romance novels with Ellora's Cave including two award winning
stories: Always You (published September 2011, First Place Winner of the RWA
Passionate Plume Award - 2012)and Marry Me (published June 2012, First Place
Winner in the NEC-RWA Bean Pot Reader's Choice Award - 2013).
Her works of women's
fiction, Meant To Be, and its sequel, Holding On, (published by Turquoise
Morning Press in August and November 2012, respectively) both made
multiple Best of 2012 lists and are
rated as true gems and recommended reads.
Karen's latest release,
Then, Again is a contemporary foodie romance published by Samhain Publishing.
