The Chocolate Affair by Imogene Nix - Deanna has one love.  The chocolate factory of Scheherazade Chocolates has been bought out  by an off world consortium who are sending someone to inspect the workings.
JD Ruan has been sent to assess Scheherazade on behalf of the consortium.  But JD has a secret. He’s a demon.  But not just any kind of demon – no he’s a Pleasure Demon.
Secrets, abilities and hidden truths will find their way… especially when chocolate is involved.

Never on a Sunday by Seanna Smythe - The sign advertised catering for parties, but he doubted they catered for the kind of party he had in mind.
Evie is running away from love and when things get a little too hot with Sydney-sider, Aidan, she disappears to Newcastle to buy an ice-cream parlor, Never on a Sundae. But fate conspires against her, and she finds herself out of business and places to run.
As she's wrapping up things up, Aidan rides into town on his Harley looking for a unique idea for an ice cream cake for his brother's bachelor party. He's been searching for months for the only woman who can do wicked things with chocolate and his heart...

My Lord's Table by Alysha Ellis - Gently-bred Susan arrives in 18th century London starving, penniless and desperate to find a job. When a chance-met acquaintance offers to help, Susan happily accepts a position as housekeeper in the home of Lord Winslade.
But the position is not what she expects it to be. She is greeted by a grim manservant, who locks her in a room and orders her to wear the scandalous costume she finds there.
She is forced to attend an erotic banquet of carnal and epicurean delights, presided over by the darkly sinister Lord Winslade.
Susan’s expectations of domestic service shatter as she is seduced into fulfilling appetites of an entirely different order.

The Banquet by Kate Belle - The Banquet is a moment in the life of James, a less than attractive chef and restaurant owner who is obsessed with sexy celebrity chef, Sheba. Sheba’s famed erotic recipes have saved James from a life of involuntary celibacy. After impressing Sheba with a special dessert of his own creation, James finds himself invited to the most exclusive and mysterious event on the hospitality calendar. Everyone who’s anyone in the hospitality industry knows of it, but the banquet itself is shrouded in secrecy.
Nervous and out of his depth, James attends and is introduced to a world where the boundaries between food and sex are entirely blurred.

Flavour of the Month by Bianca Sarble - When Cate Gallagher thinks her day can't get any worse, Patrick Garrett comes along to prove her wrong. The sexy stranger awakens her long forgotten desire but she knows from past experience that his type is best avoided at all costs.
Patrick is sure the chemistry between them will set the sheets on fire, if only she would give him a chance. He hatches a seduction plan to show her exactly how right they could be.
But getting the girl isn't the only obstacle for their Happily Ever After. Misunderstandings and assumptions turn their heat level to boiling point and threaten to scorch their love.
Can Cate overcome her past and let Patrick show her she's not just the Flavour Of The Month?
