Margot is a young, convent-raised bride. At eighteen, she is taken to her husband's home. But things are not as she had expected them to be. The companion hired to take her to her husband is a lot like a governess - a very strict one. And when she arrives at her husband's home, she learns she is to call him... Papa. Margot soon learns she is to occupy a shadowy world, a bride in the truest sense of the world, but also "in the nursery," subject to the strictest discipline from both "Papa," and Miss Della.

    She has secretly longed for a man who enjoys her company, respects her intellect, thinks she is beautiful, and is prepared to spank her bottom scarlet when he thinks she needs it. All that has gotten her is heartbreak. When learning of her ex-fiancé's plans to use her money to take his new love to Paris, Cass has had enough. An invitation from an online fan has her deciding that it is about time to pull her big- girl panties up and step outside her comfort zone. Stunning photos of the Alaskan wilderness promise her an adventure; the prospect of meeting the considerate and strong Killian Nelson, owner of Slick Trench Outfitters, offers her far more. All Cass needs to do is overcome a few obstacles... such as reclaiming her livelihood from her carbophobic ex-fiancé who has hijacked her food blog, convince herself that Killian's gorgeous ex-girlfriend isn't competition, find a missing elderly friend—and, as if that's not enough, she also needs to stay away from the bears and wolves that call Alaska home. Only after Cass begins to recognize her own worth is she able to build the life she has dreamed of. Oh, but remember those big-girl panties she's pulled up? What will her reaction be when she learns that naughty girls find their panties pulled down when going over an Alaskan's lap? Roasted is a witty, sexy story of self-discovery. It features excerpts from the fictional CassCooks by Cass Harper and some non-fictional recipes that you are going to want to try.

    After twenty-three years and three combat tours with the 75th Ranger Regiment, he’s got a Silver Star, a titanium knee and a plan to see America on his Road King motorcycle. No more patrols, no more firefights. Nothing more dangerous than passing the old work van rumbling along in front of him as he rides toward Hunter-Stewart and the sunset of his career in the Army. But just as he twists the throttle to pass, a woman’s bare foot smears a bloody print on the van’s back window. Roman turns back to help, triggering a chain of events that puts his brother Virgil and two old friends in the crosshairs of a murderer. Saving them sends Roman on a desperate ride from Savannah to DC, where he discovers that the past he has been trying to forget has not forgotten him. It’s been waiting patiently, holding his secret like a time bomb.
