Valentine’s
Day is less than a week away. They say the way to a man’s heart is through his
stomach. In Finding Mr. Right, the short story sequel Lois Winston wrote
to Hooking Mr. Right, she includes a recipe for edible body paint. We’re not
necessarily advocating our readers go all Fifty Shades. After all, this is a
G/PG-rated blog! However, for the less adventuresome, Trulee Delectable
Chocolate Body Paint is equally tasty on ice cream, fruit, and cake and would
add the perfect ending to a romantic home-cooked Valentine’s Day dinner. Learn more about Lois and her books at her website.

4 oz. butter

Finding Mr.
Right
In this
short story sequel to the award-winning Hooking Mr. Right by Lois
Winston (writing as Emma Carlyle,) editor Grace Wainwright, has taken over the
role of bestselling author and romance guru Dr. Trulee Lovejoy. Thea Chandler,
the original Trulee, is now married to her Mr. Right and is a successful
cookbook author. She and Grace host the top-rated Love Recipes cooking
show. When producer Becket Delaney announces the first two shows in February
will have a Valentine’s Day theme, Grace freaks out. The worst day of her life
occurred on Valentine’s Day ten years ago, and she wants no reminders of it.
Beck has his own reasons for hating the holiday, but the show must go on, and
he absolutely refuses to deal with an uncooperative prima donna. When a
citywide blackout traps him and Grace in his thirty-fourth floor office, their
adversarial relationship really begins to heat up. Recipe included.
Finding Mr.
Right is available as a .99 cent ebook or
as a bonus short story in the paperback edition of Hooking
Mr. Right.
