As I mentioned earlier, I want to take a moment to introduce you to my alter ego, Emilia Mancini.
Emilia came about because I wanted to write erotic romance as well as sweet romance. I know that not everyone who enjoys one form of romance enjoys the other so to keep the styles separate I write them under different names.
Emilia was actually published first. Her story, The Rebound, was released in April.
This story is erotic and has adult content, so if you aren’t comfortable with that (or old enough) you might want to skip out on it. But if you like stories that sizzle and have lots of fun dialogue, check this one out.

Blurb:
Still reeling from catching her husband in bed with his mistress, the last thing Casi Hanson is looking for is romance. When she meets brokenhearted Conner Bennet, she thinks she has found exactly what she needs.
Their mutual desire for a “no strings attached” sexual relationship offers the opportunity to explore fantasies and fetishes their spouses denied them and the freedom to walk away when they are done.
The only fantasy too taboo is falling in love.
Excerpt:
“You about ready for that dance?”
Casi pulled a plump lip between her teeth as her eyes went to the dance floor. She knew she didn’t have to worry about Mark being there, but even so, the reality of coming face to face with him was terrifying.
“You look like you’re going to throw up.”
“It’s kind of like knowing the big bad wolf is out there somewhere.”
“I’ll be right there, fending him off,” he said as the band began covering a Temptations song. Conner helped her off the stool and pulled her into the crowd, where they disappeared into the sea of bodies.
Casi easily slipped into his arms, moving against him as if she’d done it a hundred times. It felt so comforting to be pressed against him, she didn’t care this wasn’t real. She put her cheek to his and pulled him closer, closing the already small gap between them.
With his body against hers, and the sound of his breath mixed with the old song, and the scent of his cologne, Casi felt drawn to him. She slid her hand over his shoulder, gently stroked the back of his neck with her fingertips, and he pulled her closer in response. She intentionally pressed into him, much more than was necessary, and the air around them changed into something sensual. She knew he felt it too when his fingertips began to gently dig into her back.
His breath quickened, sending spurts of hot moisture down her neck and she felt it all the way down to the flimsy black lace she wore under her dress. Her nipples tightened in response, and a stirring began deep between her legs.
While she was certain she could stay in this moment forever, or at least for the next few hours, the song ended and transitioned into something more upbeat, breaking the spell. She lifted her head, slowly opened her eyes and met his gaze, finding it as heated as hers.
When neither made a move to break their tight embrace, she realized he was debating with himself about kissing her, and she was shocked to realize she wouldn’t stop him if he did. Several moments passed before Casi gave in to the temptation, leaned forward and pressed her mouth to his.
Conner kissed her in return, and Casi knew, without doubt, she was going to do something she would most likely regret in the morning.
