Lesfic Bard Award Runner Up for Anthology
Marnie just wants to book a coffee shop to cater her best friend’s wedding, but she doesn’t expect to fall so hard for the owner that she accidentally accept a job instead.
Marnie settled in to wait against the wall near the end of the counter, watching as the employee worked. They had on a worn blue flannel and a baseball hat for some hockey team, sleeves rolled messily up to their forearms to reveal lean muscle working under tan tattooed skin. Dexterous hands poured foam and--
Marnie blushed and cleared her throat, louder than she intended. She couldn’t just be horny on main like this, openly staring at people’s forearms like a freak. Sure it’d been a while, but she had to have some decorum.
“Love On the Range”
Part of the Fandom to Fantasy Anthology from Sapphire Books.
Ari books an airbnb sinfully far from the hotel of the RangerCon fan convention she’s attending with her friend. Though when they see how dark, mysterious and gorgeous their host is, they decide it might not be so bad.
They were just pulling their bags out of the trunk of the car when the front door of the house opened and Ari felt her heart stop.
A tall woman with dark hair pulled back in a loose braid that rested on her middle back walked out wearing tight jeans and a soft-looking black-and-grey-patterned flannel. Some stray hairs had come loose from her braid and brushed along a strong jaw. She was casually unbuttoning the cuffs and rolling up the sleeves to reveal tan skin. The tops of her forearms were even more tan, freckles standing out like she spent a lot of time in the sun. She couldn’t have been much older than them, but something about her made her seem…mature.”
Ari didn’t realize she was staring until she got a sharp elbow to her side. She hissed in pain and jerked her head to glare at Laura, who looked just as panicked by the gorgeous woman coming toward them.
“Is that our host?” Laura whispered.
“Either that or a super gorgeous tractor model.”
