Book Description: Pass The Hot Stuff



The safe guy or the sexy guy?

The answer is always ... Pass The Hot Stuff

Blythe Townsend is a belle who is in desperate need of having her chimes rung. But the man she is dating would have to get his head out of his briefs - his legal briefs - long enough to notice. She is a frustrated romantic obsessed with Turner Classic Movies. She lives in the French Quarter with her dog, Lady Marmalade, and is determined not to go sour on love even though she has dated every nutcase along the Mississippi Delta. Now, she is trying her best to make it work with her deadly dull boyfriend.

Blythe accepts him - boring business dinners and all. There's always steak, but never any sizzle. There's only so much a libido can take; and when she repeatedly spots a man around town she christens Tall, Dark and Eye Candy, she starts to feel what she's been missing.

So, what's stopping her from tasting something a little ... sweeter? She refuses to be hurt again, and this sexy New Orleans guy has all of the trappings to do just that. Blythe will have to find her inner big-shouldered broad to deal with the craziness in her life; and she has a group of hilarious, mouthy women helping her sort through the crazy.

Their story is a sultry dance to Delta blues and soulful jazz that drifts the reader into the romance of New Orleans. So, sit down at the kitchen table and pour yourself a drink - we're gonna pass the hot stuff.

Guardianship doesn’t come with an owner’s manual.

Life changes forever for Keith Hanson when his parents’ will declares him guardian over his three younger siblings. His new responsibilities are challenging, but he’s even less prepared to fall in love with Lisa Carle, a social worker with a devastating secret.

College student Keith Hanson’s priorities are like any other 20-year old guy’s: grades and girls, not necessarily in that order. But when his parents are killed in a tragic car accident on their way home from visiting him at school, life changes drastically. He’s stunned to find that his father’s will calls for him to become guardian to his siblings, fifteen year-old Dana and twin seven year olds, Leo and Linda.

The new keeper comes to the attention of Family Services when Dana’s rebellious ways prove more than he can handle. She disappears and Keith finds her in her boyfriend’s driveway inside a foggy-windowed car. Social worker Lisa Carle is assigned to the Hanson case to help with the adjustment and is floored by her unexpected feelings for Keith. But neither Keith nor Lisa are fully aware that they have unwittingly become pawns in a plot led by Lisa’s boss, that will ultimately lead to their destruction or their own happy ending.
