Seducing Steel City
How That Makes You Feel
Therapist Camila Moore isn’t the girl she used to be. Divorced, correctly diagnosed, and (mostly) over her disastrous rebound, she’s happier than ever. She’s saying yes to MMA classes and meditation, and no to booze and drama. She’ll be damned if she gets her big feelings wrapped up in a man — even a gorgeous, funny man like Zach Hoult, the jeweler she meets at an arts festival. Their flirtatious transaction leads to a karaoke invite, innuendo over ice cream, and a scorching goodnight kiss that leaves them wanting more.
But Zach shouldn’t want more. He’d left Pittsburgh behind, until his estranged mother’s death cut his international travels short and dragged him back to the city that broke his heart. He just has to get his sister to graduation and sell the family jewelry store, and he’ll finally be free to do … well, he’s not sure what yet. But his sexy, smart new friend with benefits is a welcome distraction from making plans.
As Zach entices Camila out of her careful routines, and Camila cracks open Zach’s guarded heart, their summer fling turns into something deeper. Separately, falling in love always brought out the worst in them, but maybe people can change.
Can two works in progress make it work? Or will passion this intense burn them both?

Retired Hollywood stuntwoman Ivy Lowell is looking for a Mrs. The almost-40-year-old swipes on dating apps like it’s her job, armed with her “Wife List” of desires and dealbreakers. But while she’s got an ideal woman on paper, no one keeps her attention in real life quite like the delicious owner of Besos Bakery.
Analeigh Fonseca works hard and plays, well, almost not at all. She’s hustled her ass off to build her business by 25, and has the added financial pressure of helping her younger sister afford college. The bright spot in her too-busy days is the blonde bombshell owner of a local gym, whose crush on Ana is as obvious as her sweet tooth.
When Ana’s coven of witchy friends persuades her to get out of her chef whites and bar hop on Halloween, she runs into Ivy, and they flirt and dance the night away. That is, until Ivy has to demonstrate her martial arts training on a drunk dude who can’t take Ana’s “no.”
Impressed by Ivy rescuing her, Ana asks to train with her after business hours, attempting to put her own crush aside. Ivy is wealthy, accomplished, and already everywhere Ana is trying to get. Ana barely has time to sleep. When could she pencil in a relationship?
But as Ivy gets to really know Ana, she rethinks who would make her happy.
What happens when you meet someone who could be the love of your life, but they’re in a different life stage?

And They Were Roommates
Cosmetic chemist Helena has two thoughtful, responsible, and distressingly hot roommates — quiet and intense chef Damien, and goofy English teacher Javi. She’s kept their easy friendship above board for over a year, despite fantasizing about being bounced between them like a basketball. But when she walks in on a private moment between the two, confirming the attraction she suspected was there, she’s no longer sure crossing that line is such a bad idea after all. And a weekend stuck inside because of a heat wave is the perfect time to have the kind of house meeting Helena has in mind.
This is an erotic MMF, forced proximity short story featuring voyeurism/auralism, swords crossing, and a happily ever after.
