She learned what she wanted in a fantasy. Now she has to be brave enough to choose it in real life.
Dorothea is used to being the dependable one.
She works hard. Handles her own problems. Keeps her desires carefully contained. And when life becomes difficult, she does what she has always done.
She takes care of it herself.
Then she draws The Devil.
A mysterious experience inside the Arcane Room sends Dorothea into a fantasy unlike anything she has allowed herself to imagine. Waiting there is Lucian, seductive, commanding, and dangerously skilled at uncovering everything she has spent years convincing herself she shouldn't want.
But The Devil's Temptation is about more than pleasure.
Lucian forces Dorothea to confront the shame attached to her desires, the fear behind her need for control, and the possibility that accepting something from another person does not mean surrendering herself.
Then the fantasy ends.
And Dorothea returns to a life that suddenly requires everything she has just learned.
Her bakery is in trouble. A property dispute threatens the future she has worked to build, and help arrives in the frustratingly attractive form of Lorenzo Moretti.
Lorenzo is one of Coral Cove's most successful lawyers. He is sharp, intimidating, confident, and far too accustomed to getting his way.
Dorothea has no intention of becoming another thing for him to manage.
Lorenzo has no intention of letting her lose everything because she is too stubborn to accept assistance.
Then circumstances lead to a fake relationship.
It should be simple.
Pretend to be together. Solve the problem. Walk away.
Except Lorenzo makes it increasingly difficult to remember which touches are pretend. Dorothea begins seeing the man beneath the reputation, and the slow-burning attraction between them starts threatening every boundary she thought she understood.
For the first time, Dorothea has to decide whether independence means doing everything alone...
...or having the freedom to choose who she lets stand beside her.
Dorothea & Lorenzo brings together two connected romances in one complete reading experience:
The Devil's Temptation
A sensual Tarot Fantasy of temptation, self-discovery, fantasy, and learning to own desire without shame.
Knead You Now
A slow-burn Coral Cove romance featuring a fake relationship, opposites attract, a virgin heroine, an intimidating lawyer with a softer side, bakery trouble, and the very inconvenient discovery that pretending to fall in love can feel remarkably real.
From forbidden fantasies to flour-dusted reality, Dorothea's story is about desire, independence, trust, and finding a man who doesn't ask her to become smaller so he can love her.
First, The Devil teaches her how to want.
Then Lorenzo gives her something worth choosing.
