Sneaking Around With My Best Friend’s Mom

When Jack pulled up outside his best friend’s house, he could barely contain himself. Not, however, because he was about to spend the weekend with his pal, Liam. In all honesty, a break from him would have been welcome after spending the last few months together at college. No, it was Liam’s mom that he was anxious to see. It was his mom that he had been obsessed with for as long as he could remember. Molly, the voluptuous domestic goddess was his to drool over all weekend long. As well as being his best friend’s mom, Molly was also his own mother’s best friend, so Jack had spent a lot of time around her growing up. A lot of time spent sneaking peeks at her curves and imagining what he’d do if he ever got hold of them, and even more time alone in his room fantasising that he had. There is only so much sexual energy a young, virile man can bottle up and, when he sees Molly that night, all he wants to do is smash that bottle open and take her for his own, every part of her. What he doesn’t know yet, is that Molly is desperate to be taken… even with her husband in the room.

Sweet Murder

What’s a witch to do when the meanest man in the county drops dead in his coleslaw during her shift at the local barbecue joint?
Noelle does what any good Southern girl would do: she flicks a wrist to clean up the mess, then thanks the stars for doing the world a favor. She should have known nothing’s that easy. The Magical Oversight Committee is on her back because she can’t keep her unruly little sister in line and the hunky new city-slicker sheriff would like to take her to dinner, except he suspects her of murder.
To top it off, her cursed miniature donkey is being particularly calamitous and the old hens at the local beauty parlor are laying bets on her love life. A skydiving best friend and a bossy, living-impaired aunt become the least of her worries when the killer decides to bump up the plan by bumping her off.
Can she figure it out in time to save all that she holds dear, or will Noelle be next on the list of folks who’ve turned up dead?
This book also contains my novella, Cruise Ship Caper, which takes place immediately after Sweet Murder.
