Anthology | S.J. Maylee

Welcome to hump day my friends. Thank you to the beautiful Sandra Bunino for bringing us together.

This week, I’m going back to my story in the upcoming Evernight Publishing Anthology releasing June 20th.

I’ve teased three times already from this story. Once from Colin’s private dungeon found through a secret passage in his office. Another when Mary arrives for her interview and appears to be not what he expected and finally from when Mary tries to change his mind.

Colin is interviewing Mary because his assistant is due to give birth very soon. Her name is Jen. Today’s tease includes the very next lines in their conversation. This is still in Colin’s point of view.

____________

“You want to work for me?”

“Why wouldn’t I?”

“I can be inflexible and stubborn.” He could be a damn fool for lusting over the first applicant that walked through the door.

“I’ve also heard you called controlling, fiercely loyal, successful, and even extravagant.”

“True.” She’d done her homework.

A scream wrenched through the air, coming from his lobby.

“Jen.” He got up from his desk and ran.

He found her standing at her copier over a puddle of water.

____________

I think her water broke, lol. I hope Colin has changed his mind about Mary because his assistant is going on leave right now. Problem is, these two are destined to misjudge and unravel each forward movement. I know how it all works out and I have to say it’s quite delicious. 🙂

SJ’s Blurb:

Mary is determined not to be distracted by the devilishly handsome Colin whose business deal is halting a much needed park. Armed with a plan, she tries to ignore her growing attraction.

After reading her resume, Colin believes Mary isn’t right for him or his office. However, he’s about to risk his biggest business deal yet when Mary knocks him off his game. The pair gives in to their growing desires, but Mary’s plan might unravel everything they’ve been building.

Thank you so much for visiting me, it means a lot that you took the time to visit my little place on the web. Be sure to check out all the Mid Week Teasers:

The Sin Circus

Everyone remembers their first trip to the circus–the home of fantasy and dreams. Where the idea that anything is possible meets a creative reality of alluring tricks and amazing acts of defiance. The big top is known for inspiring lust, awe, and happy memories, and now you’ll see it like never before.

Some of today’s hottest romance authors combine the decadent memories of the center ring with all the flavors in erotic fiction in The Sin Circus. Whether it’s with a dominating Ringmaster, a lion tamer’s bratty kittens, or a dark Harlequin King, this show is sure to shock the audience with its dazzling dares and tantalizing tales.

Oh, that sounds fun and now here’s something Sweet and Sticky from Sabrina Garie

The circus abounds with very naughty food. Cotton candy, popcorn, snow-cones, cracker jacks and so much more. In the The Sin Circus, my story “Sweet and Sticky,” uses edibles in tantalizing and sexy ways. You may find some new uses for cotton candy after you read it. 🙂

In addition to serving as sexy props, food is also woven into the main story. The hero, Nick, is a literary agent specializing in cook books and food writers. Here’s a pretty decadent recipe from his most successful, and eccentric, authors. Sweet and sticky, just like the story.

Dorothy Blaine’s Vanilla-iced Cinnamon Buns

Bun Ingredients

2 (.25 oz) active dry yeast packages
1/3 cup sugar
2 cups warm water
6 and ½ cups all-purpose flour (this will be divided)
2 eggs
1/3 cup vegetable oil
½ cup of sugar
2 teaspoons cinnamon

Vanilla Icing Ingredients

1/3 cup of softened butter
3 cups confectioners’ sugar
1 and ½ tablespoons of Milk
1and ½ teaspoons Vanilla extract

Bun Directions

Dissolve yeast and 1/3 cup sugar in warm water. Best to use a large mixing bowl for this. Then, stir in 2 cups of flour and beat for two minutes, then add in the eggs and oil. Add one half cup at a time, then beat well. Continue to do so, one half cup at a time, until you’ve used all the flour.
Once the dough is ready, knead it for five minutes on a lightly floured surface. Butter a large bowl (you can use oil if you prefer), add the dough and coat it with the butter (or oil). Cover and let rise. You want it to double in size. This will take about forty minutes.
While the dough is rising, mix together the cinnamon and the remaining ½ cup of sugar.
When the dough has doubled, divide it into 12 pieces and roll in the cinnamon sugar then put in a greased baking pan. Cover the pan and let it rise, again about 40 minutes until it doubles yet again.
Bake for 30 minutes in an oven preheated to 350 degrees F
Let cool then add the icing.

Vanilla Icing

Stir all the ingredients (butter, sugar, milk, vanilla) together. Add when the buns are cool.

Yum! Thank you, Sabrina Garie for sharing that recipe. I can’t wait to try it out. Now, let’s read more about each story in The Sin Circus.
