    About this ebook

    Together at last: The Christmas Toast and The Valentine Toast, plus bonus recipes and the short story Curry for One.

    The Christmas Toast

    Alan Randall Liebowitz is a man stuck in a pattern: right before the holidays his current significant other goes walkabout, leaving him alone … again.

    Jacques Lambert is an up and comer chef with a bright future. Until his partner with benefits runs off, leaving him bankrupt and relying on the kindness of his family.

    The local college holds night cooking classes, for seniors mostly. Jack's sister talks him into applying for a teaching spot. Alan's neighbor talks him into expanding his horizons.

    When a lonesome foodie meets the chef of his dreams, more than the scallops are flambéed.

    The Valentine Toast

    Alan's the numbers guys, the VP's golden boy until a corporate shuffle leaves him downsized and at loose ends. It's a hit to the wallet and his ego. When Alan turns to the kitchen for solace, no vegetable is safe.

    With money tight and their options dwindling, Alan jumps at the offer from Jack's brother-in-law, Ted, to run an audit on the QT. The dealership's in trouble and Ted needs fresh eyes.

    For his cooking class, Jack is faced with making comfort food sexy, not as easy a task as it sounds. Alan floats the idea of a contest, pitting the culinary arts students against the senior ladies. When the media find out, it makes a feeding frenzy look tame.

    Dealerships and contests leave them little time to plan for their first Valentine's Day, but when it rolls around, they make a toast that will change everything.

    Curry for One

    It's Anika's farewell dinner for her fellow grad students.

    It's Tom's last chance to throw his hat in the ring.

    But there's the niggling matter of cultural differences and family obligations.

    And a bet on the line…

    Crossing boundaries, taking no prisoners. Write what’s in your soul. It’s the bass beat, the heartbeat, the lyrics rude and true. Nya Rawlyns cut her teeth on sports-themed romantic comedies and historical romances before finding her true calling in the wilderness areas she has visited but calls “home” in that place that counts the most: the heart. She has lived in the country and on a sailboat on the Chesapeake Bay, earned more than 1000 miles in competitive trail and endurance racing, taught Political Science to unwilling freshmen, and found an avocation in materials science. When she isn’t tending to her garden or the horses, the cats, or three pervert parakeets, she can be found day dreaming and listening to the voices in her head. *** Websites: Romancing Words: http://www.romancingwords.com Love’s Last Refuge: http://loveslastrefuge.com/ The Men of Crow Creek: http://the-men-of-crow-creek.weebly.com/ *** Books by Nya Rawlyns: The Wrong Side of Right: transgressive homoerotica *** The Crow Creek Series: M/M contemporary erotic western romance Ash & Oak Pulling Leather Strapping Ash Sorting Will Flankman: The Crow Creek Series Box Set *** The Strigoi Chronicles: homoerotic lit, paranormal Penance Fane Michel Dreu The Strigoi Chronicles Box Set *** The Holiday Toast Series: M/M romantic comedy The Christmas Toast The Valentine Toast *** Acid Jazz Singer (Hunger Hurts) Skin Guardians of the Portals Finish Line Hunters Crossing Sculpting David Dance Macabre
