Book: It Was All The Daisy’s Fault

A Thanksgiving Letter – From Scarlett

by

Scarlett  (From It Was All The Daisy’s Fault) took over! You see, Greta owner of Peppermint Sweet, left her in charge over the holidays. She believed Cole “settled” her a bit. Oh, ye, of so much faith! Scarlett will always be herself no matter what, and I believe this Thanksgiving Day letter proves she cannot be tamed.

Hi Peppermint Sweeties,
Happy Thanksgiving! It’s me, Scarlett. The woman who makes all your dreams come true, i.e. spins magic via an espresso machine.

Greta and I would like to thank you for your loyalty and patronage over the last few years. We’ve had a blast sating your sugar cravings and caffeine needs at our little bake and coffee shop—and that’s all thanks to you.

Also a big thank you to all who voted for Peppermint Sweet in the Moorsville Best Of list put out by the town’s City Paper. We would like to congratulate Starbucks, which came in first. Truly. They keep us on our toes. I mean, they don’t have a bistro table in a floor-to-ceiling, front window whose chairs have heart-scrolled backs–and which have seen a dozen marriage proposals over the years. They also don’t have Chloe’s magic pies. Or, my cake decorating skills. But we don’t mind them winning. Really.

Now. On to Peppermint Sweet’s holiday menu! You have parties to plan, catering to order, and wishes to make (remember Chloe’s magic pies).

Chloe’s pie menu has been up for six hours and you all scare me at how sugar-addicted you are. She does have a limit, however, so click here to order. Like, today. Seriously.

After all, you heard about Phoebe and Henry, right? I am not going through what happened between those two lovebirds who fought over the last fruitcake last season. It’s how they met but fighting over a dessert is just sad even if ours will turn your ideas about fruitcake around.

(Waving to Phoebe and Henry who got married last month. We catered. Yes, fruitcake was on the menu.)

Anyway, don’t be them. A wedding coming out of such a confrontation is not guaranteed. Even if you consume an entire cherry love pie made by Chloe.

Instead, be you.

Order on time.

Then get in here because I will sell anything that isn’t picked up and I hate it when you get all sad and we’ll end up back in the kitchen baking together because no way will I let you walk away empty-handed.

(Kudos to Mrs. Stevens who at least brought wine to our late night bake-a-thon when we ran out of the red velvet cupcakes she had to have for an event. Some of them even got frosted before I passed out.)

PLACE HOLIDAY ORDERS HERE. In advance. Really.

Love and Kisses,
Greta, Scarlett, and Chloe

It Was All The Daisy’s Fault

My 20th book is live! I can remember the day that my very first book, Holiday Ties, went live. I thought “that’s it. I’ve done it.”

But here’s the thing about writing. It’s addictive. I wanted to do more. So, I did. And even more after that. It’s been an incredible eight years.  Thank you for going on this book journey with me.

Now, about Cole and Scarlett. Some people call Scarlett the devil. Others say she’s an angel. Cole isn’t sure which. Thankfully for us, Scarlett decided to help him clarify his assessment–mostly by being herself. Finding your courage to become fully yourself is a common theme in my books. This one is no exception. Let’s just say Scarlett taught me a lot.

As always, thank you for reading. xo

I did a book thing. Actually several.

Hi Friends! Big news! But first, some story background.

Lots of expansion happened at the SaFleur household over the last 18 months. (Thanks, pandemic.). My waistline. Our wine consumption. Callum’s girth (such a chonk). And guess what else expanded? My writing!

You expect lots of smexy times from my writing cave. That’s not going to change. But I wrote several new books that are, um, different. I wrote… sexy romantic comedies! 

I gotta tell you, I ducking love these books! And their covers.

But my first thought writing this news was ya’ll are going to hate me for exploring a new genre and following my fickle muse. (Don’t leave me, K?) But maybe you might enjoy more laughs right now? I know these last few months I needed to giggle and swoon.

Does that mean I won’t be writing any more Elite Doms or Shakedown books? Not. at. all. In fact, if you subscribe to my email newsletter, News From Elizabeth, you’re reading a serial starring Alexander, Rebecca and Eric from Invincible!

As for the romcoms, expect lots of chemistry amongst these pages. No bedroom door stays closed for long around me. Why miss the good stuff?

So, without further ado, here’s what you’re in for…

It Was All the Pie’s Fault 
Releases February 22 (At the rate this year is flying by February is, like, tomorrow.)
Little Miss Sunshine Chloe believes in two things: Russell is her soulmate and her pies are magic. One bite of her cherry pie and he’ll declare her “the one.”

Jaded attorney Nick doesn’t believe in magic OR Russell’s intentions with Chloe. Pies making wishes come true? Pffft.

But she’s perfect for him—as a fake girlfriend to appease his family-friendly boss. She’s in love with someone else, after all. And, this girl needs help when it comes to men. A lot of it. He’ll help her lure Russell into dreaded wedded bliss so long as she poses as his date.

Except Chloe’s wishes begin to go haywire—starting with granting Nick’s and turning all those fake kisses into smoking hot moments of passion.

You’ll like this story if you enjoy fake relationships, opposites attract, and fated mates/match. Expect to laugh—a lot.

 
It Was All the Cat’s Fault 
Releases April 5
Pre-order: Amazon, Apple Books, Kobo, Barnes & Noble
 
Eve can juggle work, school and a fixer-upper house just fine with a little help from YouTube. Well, she could, if her beloved cat, Thor, would stop getting into trouble—like getting stuck behind the walls. Thankfully, plumbers make house calls at ridiculous-o’clock in the morning.

Enter Brent who not only has all the power tools she needs, he looks like the God Thor. A mountain of muscle with movie-star hair, shining green eyes, and a perfectly scruffed, chiseled jaw. Just great. She doesn’t have time for all the lusty neediness rising where it should not be rising.

Eve reminds herself and her weakening knees that she’s a strong, independent woman determined to make it without anyone’s help. But as more renovation and cat-astrophes pile on, she finds her fingers doing the walking to call Brent to her rescue.

And she has to decide if keeping him at arm’s length fits her life plan, or if it’s the biggest miscalculation she’s ever made.

You’ll love this story if you’re into opposites attract and smoking hot mayhem and madness—much of which is caused by one Maine Coon cat.

 
It Was All the Daisy’s Fault
Releases May 17 
 
Writing is Scarlett’s destiny, her purpose in life. If she could only finish her novel. She keeps getting interrupted by all the people in need—and animals and trees and flowers.

Like Cole. He splats face-first before her feet like it was fate. Kismet. A sign. He was just the inspiration she needed for her book. Tall, dark hair, glittering eyes. A surgeon sporting a super hot, disapproving stern face. Surely, a smile lived inside him somewhere.

But Cole has no plans to get involved with anyone. Certainly not a sassy, hippie who thinks flowers have feelings. Still, somehow he keeps tripping into her, even when he tries his hardest to stay away.

That incredible urge to back her up against a wall and do things to her? That chemistry couldn’t be real. It just couldn’t be.

You’ll love this story if you like opposites attract, can’t-help-yourself smexy moments, and grumpy hero meets Little Miss Saucy.
