About this series
Cecily
Rule number one of writing a restaurant review: don't fraternize with the chef. Seems pretty simple. It's awfully difficult, though, when said bad boy chef insists on following me around campus. Milo may be a charmer, but he's in for a rude awakening when I don't fall at his feet like everyone else on the planet. I've got a student newspaper to run and finals to ace. Besides, doesn't he have anything better to do with his time?
Milo
My manager keeps calling, my publisher is pissed, and I've got a restaurant launch to oversee. So, why not throw in a little bit of obsession over a terrible review of my food? Sure, I've got nothing but time. Don't get me wrong; Cecily can write whatever she wants to in that college newspaper of hers. She may not like me now, but that's not going to stop me from making her mine.

- Judge Me: Homemade Heat, #1
1
Chloe I've been obsessed with the famous baker since I was far too young to fall in love with a man so much older. My family thinks it's an innocent celebrity crush, but what they don't know is I've been saving myself for this stone cold silver fox. And now, to everyone's disbelief, I've got my chance. There's only one problem that I hope he doesn't notice: I'm a terror in the kitchen. Phillip Everything about my life is endlessly enviable. A celebrity chef with his own television show, best selling cookbooks, and a sprawling estate-- it would seem I have it all. Except for one thing. I need someone to help me fill these empty rooms -- with love, with children, and with a feminine touch. And then one day, a single catastrophic audition video changes everything. I'm going to do everything in my power to meet this woman. I only hope she doesn't mind leaving the cooking to me. JUDGE ME is the first sweet treat in a themed collection of very short, very hot reads serve up with the tropes you crave: age gap; billionaires; virgins; a light dusting of kink and lots of heat!
- Cake Walk: Homemade Heat, #2
2
Cara I found the perfect spot to sell my cakes for my preschool's fundraiser: smack in the middle of the town's most exclusive gated community. That has everything to do with where the money is, and probably nothing to do with catching a glimpse of my dad's gorgeous best friend, Michael. Michael I don't remember how I ended up as the enforcer for the homeowners association, but I truly give no crap if some cute blonde wants to sell cakes on my street to raise money for the local preschool. When I discover that the cute blonde is my best friend's daughter, I have to enforce the rules to make Cara go away. Far, far away, before I act on my feelings. Because my feelings are wrong…right?

Diana First thing to know about me? I don't need an older man with money to solve my problems. And yet, men my own age seem to constantly disappoint, mistreat, and even get me into trouble with the law. My family has helped me before, but I'm determined to stand on my own two feet this time. I'm getting a second job and I'm going to dig myself out of my worries, no matter what it takes. My new boss, however, has other plans. He doesn't understand that my problems are none of his business, and I don't understand his motives. He's going to have to convince me there's more to him than just a guy with impressive moves in the kitchen. Leo Life has been good to me so far. My successful pizzeria is the talk of the town and I have everything a man could need or want. What I don't have is a good enough reason to show up single to the family reunion. Again. Finding true love is not all that easy when all I do is work. Turns out, I don't need to try to find it, because when Diana walks into my restaurant looking for a second job, I've found my missing piece. Everything about us makes sense, and I'm determined to show her I'm more than just the guy holding the dough; I'm going to be there for her, through thick and thin.

Bishop My Las Vegas boutique hotel got lucky when it snagged one of the region's top young pastry chefs. But my unlucky heart suffers a blow when I learn that the enchanting Cherise is engaged to another man. Is it wrong that I want to break them up? Probably. One thing that all my money can't solve? It won't help me steal Cherise away. But when her wedding plans fall apart, I take the opportunity to pull the strings. Someone has to keep an eye on her amidst all her undue wedding stress. Along the way, I can make damn sure she knows that any guy who isn't her biggest fan isn't worthy of her love. Cherise My position as a pastry chef at an up-and-coming spot in Las Vegas is a dream come true. What's not a dream come true is planning a wedding from far away—especially when plans begin to fall apart. Like a lucky hand from out of the blue, in steps my boss, Bishop, with an offer I can't refuse. The man isn't just easy on the eyes, but a little too easy for me to be around. I try to keep my distance, but he's always there, cheering me on. I have no right to feel the things I feel for someone who's not my fiance. But one fact I can't deny: the ring on my finger says I belong to someone else, but my heart says I belong to Bishop. Attention: Although this story is about a man who aims to steal the soon-to-be bride, there is NO CHEATING in this story. And of course, an HEA!
