Recipe for Romance by Gloria Ferguson. Ashley McClain wants to win the Holiday Bake-Off with her late mom's cupcake recipe. Can she join forces with her friend and neighbor to claim the prize and a bit of romance just in time for Christmas?

“I suppose there’s a bit of the investigator in my blood,” Macario said. “My father is a writer. He takes the driest, most complex subjects and makes them palatable to people who know little to nothing of science. I imagine I would have pursued a career in the sciences myself if I hadn’t had personal reasons to study the criminal mind.”
“Are these reasons now leading you to Arizona?”
“Yes. I have reasons to believe the fugitive I’ve been pursuing for many years is there.”
About the Author:
C. L. Hart, the owner and sole employee of Naughty Netherworld Press, is spoken of in hushed tones. She is described as The Mad Scribe of the Northeastern Colorado Plains, The Terrible Old Woman, and The Author That Should Not Be.
When not penning sanity-destroying works of dystopian fiction, Lovecraftian fantasy, or old-school horror with the occasional sweet romance thrown in to upset the cosmic apple cart, Ms. Hart enjoys creating baked goods she hopes will be considered palatable.
Ms. Hart shares a home in a remote rural town of 134 souls with her adult son and three cats. Her sense of fashion is best described as Early Twenty-First Century Unmade Bed. This disabled former nurse can usually be found arguing with herself about subplots or rehabilitating eldritch horrors.

James' YouTube channel, Zowie J's Good Stuff, was
devoted to playing pranks and hawking his products. His gray t-shirt with the
disco dancing dinosaur was part of that merchandise line, as evidenced by the
Zowie J logo with its chunky letters and the rainbow-hued shooting star underlining
it.
“Could this room get any grosser?” James groaned,
pointing his phone camera at the water-stained white walls of the waiting room
where he sat on a dilapidated Russian violet couch. “Also, like, what décor
scheme were they aiming for in this dump? The walls say ‘institution,’ but this
disgusting old sofa says, ‘Old West Whorehouse.’ The table with granola bars,
beef jerky, and sports drinks is kind of avocado green; I feel like the 70s
barfed all over me, but I don’t know if it’s the 1870s or the 1970s.”

Parsifal Goes Home For the Holidays #MFRWHooks
Genre: Gay Romance, Holiday Romance, M/M Romance, Romantic Comedy
#bisexual #m/m romance #polyamory #role playing
Heat Level
5 Flames
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
ASIN: B0CP9WP2DF
Publisher: Naughty Netherworld Press
Publication date: December 23, 2023
Length: 14,500 words (Novelette)
Blurb
Parsifal returns home to
spend the Christmas holidays with his family. As he arrives at the
airport, he is greeted by his brother Hart and his ex-boyfriend
Bobby. Bobby is accompanied by his new boyfriend Seth. As they spend
the day together, Parsifal notices something peculiar. Bobby seeks
comfort from Hart rather than Seth after a minor accident at the
park.
Meanwhile, Parsifal finds himself drawn to hot nerd
Seth. The more time they spend together, the more Parsifal believes
the feeling is mutual.
However, Parsifal's Christmas
holiday is about to get even crazier. His redneck relatives are
coming over for Christmas Eve dinner, and Parsifal is dreading the
chaos that is sure to ensue. Between his family's quirky behavior and
Seth's enticing presence, Parsifal’s vacation is shaping up to be
anything but relaxing.
This is the second book in The Shape Of Heat series. It can be read as a standalone, but the first book, Awakening, should be read first if you wish to know more about the background of Parsifal and his girlfriends Candi and Luisa.

Ebook: Just 99 cents.

Over the summer, things heated beyond the boiling
point between me and my longtime friends Candi and Luisa. We grew even closer
as the fall that never looks like fall rolled into the Caribbean island where
we work and play. Our boss had nothing but praise for us as resort workers, and
we were popular writers at Climax Productions. Everyone needs to rest sometime,
though, so I was glad to be heading home to Tennessee to reconnect with family
and friends over the winter holidays.
I was especially looking forward to seeing my big
brother Hart and my ex-boyfriend Bobby. Although Bobby and I broke up after I
cheated on him, we remained close friends. Plus, I was looking forward to
meeting Bobby's new guy Seth.

Macario climbed into the car. As the men set off
into the pounding rainstorm, Pika waved to them. The speed Dom drove would
normally not have worried Macario, but he could hardly see the road ahead.
“I’ve never heard of Snowman Railways before,”
Macario said, trying to distract himself from the velocity of the vehicle.
“Only elves and snowbirds have,” Dom laughed. “So,
an FBI agent. Fascinating! Did you always want to be a detective, or did you
fall into the profession?”

Snippet
Spend 24 hours locked in an old insane asylum and win a million dollars. It's been 26 hours, so why is the door still locked?
James Zhao, a massively popular thirty-year-old social media influencer, sent the message. He was a slender, angular man standing five foot nine inches tall and weighing 133 pounds. He had a square-jawed face with thin lips and a birdlike nose. The tips of his spiky temple fade haircut were dyed purple; a lavender metal ring adorned his right ring finger, and he wore sparkly thistle-colored glass earrings.

Macario gazed in wonder at the little globe, which
contained a tiny train running from a little railroad station charmingly
decorated for Christmas.
“I make these myself every year,” Pika said
proudly.
“It’s beautiful,” Macario said, surprised at the
lump in his throat and the tears springing to his eyes. “I apologize for my
sudden display of emotion. I’m very touched—pleasantly so, mind you—that such
kind people can still be found in an increasingly harsh world. Thank you, Pika.
I’ll take you up on your offer.”
Giving the friend he’d met less than an hour ago a
brotherly embrace, Macario hurried to the little blue hybrid. He was prepared
to climb into the back seat with his duffel bag, but Dom held the passenger
door open for him.
“My friends ride up front,” the elf-like man said
warmly.

Snippet
Iron and refuse thickened the stale air of the dungeon. Sometimes a door would open and the change in air pressure would carry scents of their captors into Mei Ling’s nostrils. Lemon, cinnamon, or some type of flower, usually, but barely a moment would pass and the decrepit smell would return. It’d been days. Maybe even a week, judging by the vampires’ routine. At night, they’d stir and the dungeon would come alive with the fanged parasites. They’d torture the other victims for hours before one would call out for “A drop of Steel Crest blood”.
About The Author
Edgar Mahaffey is the author of several short stories, including the First Place Winner of The Writer’s Digest Popular Fiction Awards, “Jin’s Baby”. He is also the head of the creative writing department at Shanghai High School International Division where he also teaches high school literature. In his free time, he loves to read fiction of all genres, play dungeons and dragons, and hang out with his wife, Li Pengyun, and their one-year-old daughter, Evelyn. Together, the three can be found going for walks around Shanghai, traveling, swimming (only two of the three need floaties!), and throwing random dance parties. His view of life is simple: a day spent without laughter is a day wasted.

Frogman #RainbowSnippets
“Son, you didn’t tell me your roommate was a
frogman,” Dad quipped.
I died a thousand deaths as my face turned
scarlet. I wasn't sure how to respond to such an insensitive crack. To my
relief, my new companion laughed. He turned off the machine and removed the
mask.
