Good morning! Please take a moment to welcome fellow Harlequin author Anna James who is going to share a little bit about her new releases! Take a moment to let her know if you love reading contemporary romance series. I know I do! P.S. HAPPY FIRST DAY OF SPRING!!
Hi Everyone,
I’m Anna James. I write contemporary romance and romantic suspense. First off, a BIG thanks to Caridad for having me here.
Today, I want to share a recipe with you and tell you about my new Sisterhood of Chocolate and Wine series available from Harlequin Special Edition.
Each story takes place in the small coastal town of New Suffolk, Massachusetts. The Sisterhood is a group of six female friends who support each other through life’s trials and tribulations on the way to finding their happy ever afters.
Book 1 – A TASTE OF HOME is Layla and Shane’s story.
Book 2 – A DEAL WITH MR. WRONG is Piper and Cooper’s story.
Here’s a little blurb for each to whet your appetite:
Leaving Paris—and her cheating fiancé—to return to her picturesque coastal town was the best move Layla Williams ever made. The chef and restaurateur has proven herself by transforming her longtime family bistro into an upscale French eatery. But now her legacy is in trouble. Help comes from an unexpected source: the boy Layla left behind. Wall Street wizard turned EMT Shane Kavanaugh could turn Layla’s homecoming into another chance for them both. If they’re ready to put their hearts on the line.
“You and me. We could be the perfect solution for each other.”
Gallery owner Piper Kavanaugh has had enough of her matchmaking mother’s interference in her (nonexistent) love life! But her brilliant plan to recruit her enemy-turned-contractor Cooper Turner to pose as her boyfriend has only created more problems. Like an attraction she never counted on…and is finding impossible to deny.
Cooper spent years feeling guilty about witnessing Piper’s father’s death, so helping her renovate for her big opening day is a no-brainer. But falling for her? Now he’s really lost his mind. Still, after being burned by his ex-fiancée, maybe his lingering trust issues are getting the better of him… Or perhaps their romance ruse will be an unexpected new beginning!
Sisterhood of Chocolate and Wine Book 3 will release in Q4 2024!
Now for the recipe!
Layla’s Gourmet Burgers (featured in all of the stories):
Ingredients:
Equal parts ground sausage and hamburger (you can use ground chuck if you’d like)
Up to 1 TBSP steak sauce or Worcestershire sauce for each pound of meat
Salt and pepper to taste
¼ cup of grated cheese per pound of meat (I like a mix of Parmesan and Romano)
Directions:
Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl until well mixed
Form mixture into 5 – 6 oz patties
Cook on the grill over medium heat, or in a cast iron skillet with a 1 – 2 TBSP olive oil until desired doneness is reached (~ 3 – 7 minutes per side depending on how you like it cooked)
Serve on Brioche hamburger rolls (pretzel buns work great, too!)
Add your favorite toppings (sliced cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, bacon, etc.)
ENJOY!
