Cooking Up a Storm
by Emma Holly

The Coates Inn Restaurant in Cape Cod is about to go belly up when its attractive owner, Abby, jumps at a stranger's offer to help her -- both in her kitchen and her bed. The handsome chef claims to have an aphrodisiac menu that her patrons won't be able to resist. Can this playboy chef really save the day when Abby's body means more to him than her feelings? Beautifully written and evocative story of love, lust and haute cuisine.

Emma Holly's Bio

Okay. About me. Born in New Jersey. Grew up in Baltimore. Moved to the midwest when the city I was living in started to get too scruffy. Always wanted to be a writer. (Never mind my pre-pubescent fantasies about being Batman's girlfriend. I didn't imagine I'd get paid for that.)

I wrote for a long time before I sold. Not too long, I guess, since I didn't give up, but long enough to appreciate how amazing it is that so many of my dreams are coming true. (Yes, you too can become a published author!)

My first sale was MENAGE to Black Lace. I wrote five erotic novels for them, a novella for Secrets, then sold my first historical romance to Berkley Jove. Until I worked on BEYOND INNOCENCE, I had no idea research could be enjoyable. I mean, why don't they give the fun history books with the pretty pictures to kids in high school? I could be so much less ignorant if I'd had them.

But no matter. Being ignorant is a good excuse to by more books. And learning is a pleasure, especially when you can turn it into a story someone will love.
