Get dolled up in your flapper dress and enjoy these scrumptious tidbits inspired by the Roaring Twenties. The crazy pic to the left is an old one of me at a library fundraiser.

MIND YOUR GODDESS – WYTCHFAE 3
Cool jazz and hot kisses…
The Goddess Epona awakens in the Roaring 20’s. Can this flapper summon the razzle dazzle to reclaim her powers and the heart of her dark Guardian?
Excerpt: The moon hung round and golden on the western horizon. Rustling branches along its way, a slight breeze stirred the pre-dawn air. Dark shapes emerged as roses and hedgerows. Epona shivered and rubbed her bare arms.
Warmth returned as Eshigel enfolded her in his embrace. The silk of his eye patch brushed against her cheek. “Our night together disappeared like a hell phantom. Stay here with me, Goddess.”
The low timbre of his voice slid as rough velvet over her skin. When he nuzzled her throat, a delicate tremble rippled her body. “Darling, I’d like nothing better, if you hadn’t made me promise to send you home at dawn.”
“I don’t want to go.”
“I don’t want you to.”
cool recipes!!
Thank you!
Sounds like these recipes would make for a yummy afternoon. Love the pic from the library fund raiser. And, of course, loved Mind Your Goddess too 🙂
