"Most romantic evenings involve food. To share a meal together is an intimate act in itself. Meals are an important “tool” in romance. A carefully selected menu will sweep that special someone off his or her feet."

This post features an excerpt from my latest book,

Handcuffs & Silk as well as a recipe for a desert featured in the story.

Thursday 13 - 13 of my favorite Lines from Handcuffs & Silk

1. Being a Las Vegas cop, Steph recognized the evil lurking in the shadows of the beautiful city, also known as Sin City.

2. Rubbing the smooth part of his neck where a collar had rested for over a year, he remembered the day Ericka removed the soft, blue, leather strap with her initials stamped on it.

3. Miss Stephanie Johnson is a lovely lady with the type of personality I’m sure you will find to your liking, and perfectly capable of fulfilling your current desires.

4. “Grow up, Hunter. Drop this damn beta act and be the alpha you were born to be.”

5. Nicely curved hips accented by shiny, black leather hot pants, high-heeled, thigh-high boots laced up her long legs, and a small leather bag hung on a silver chain snug against her hip.

6. Her mouth watered at the sight of his muscular chest peeking from the opening of a black Armani shirt with the sleeves rolled past his elbows, and one hand rested on his thigh while the other held a rose.

7. Stepping tighter between her legs, he grasped Steph around her nape with one hand and pulled her to him for a hard kiss.

8. Sex appeal coupled with willingness to satisfy equaled a very appealing combination in a one-night stand.

9. The room filled with heat, yet the only sounds were their breathing, the creak of the bed, and the rasp of her boots as they brushed against his legs.

10. “You have the right to remain silent.” She clamped a handcuff roughly onto a wrist and raised both arms over his head to hook around the headboard rails then attached the remaining cuff to his free wrist. “Anything you say can and will be used against you for my pleasure.”

11. She opened the drawer and found a couple of black silk scarves.

12. With a wicked grin, she paused to pick up the glass with the key resting under the melting ice cubes.

13. “I win.” His deep voice wrapped seductively around her entire body.

Plot Bunnies ARE Real

plot bunny :
An idea for a story  that gnaws at the brain until written.

An idea like this may strike at any time. Sometimes they're great, sometimes they suck.

An idea for a story, usually referring to an author having more ideas than he or she can use.  
The term's origin is unknown but is known to predate NaNoWriMo. Because plot bunnies tend to multiply quickly, the term is thought to be related to the oft-quoted John Steinbeck quote about ideas and rabbits.


"Ideas are like rabbits. You get a couple and learn how to handle them, and pretty soon you have a dozen." --John Steinbeck

Congrats to one fellow author who managed to capture all her plot bunnies at once.

Lucas Black, a famous author, finds himself struggling with writer's block. As he falls further and further into his obsession, his lover Simon breaks up with him. Depressed, Luc prays for a muse and is surprised when his prayers are actually answered in the person of a young man named Dury, who claims to be Luc's plot bunny. Dury is everything Luc shouldn't like, eccentric, mysterious, and far too beautiful. But in spite of his doubts, Luc cannot help but feel an increasing affection for Dury.
After his painful separation from Luc, Simon Roth is unable to continue sculpting. Seeing his ex on the street with someone else only serves to reopen old wounds. To his shock, that someone -- a mysterious man named Dury -- begins to stalk him, pushing Simon to contact Luc once again. Simon realizes with dismay that Dury's gentle coaxing reaches out to a deep part of him, one he'd thought reserved for his lost love, Luc.

Even as the two artists acknowledge their feelings for each other, they understand they have both fallen for Dury as well. Dury, however, hasn't told them everything. His secrets may well be the death of them all.

I have been recently attacked by a supper hot, sexy plot bunny.  I like the way he thinks, it's going to push me into a different direction but looks like fun.  Sometimes, one simply has to be flexible with these rabid creatures... or have some really strong cages. 

If you are a writer and have too many plot bunnies,

you can drop them off at

 The Plot Bunny Adoption Center.

FOUR HEARTS review for Handcuffs and Silk by Mary Quast

Understanding your own needs sexually is important. For Stephanie and Hunter, they have not found a person who is a perfect fit for each of them but during a one night stand, must learn to explore just what they want.

Stephanie "Stiff" Johnson, is a tough Las Vegas cop who many men find too intimidating to date. Steph begins to wonder if something is wrong with her so she turns to Madame Eve to find a man who could be the yin to her yang, even if it's just for one night.

Hunter Morgan left behind years of living as a sub to a female Domme in New York. Upon return to his hometown, he questions whether he wants to continue with the "lifestyle" or find something different. Turning to 1 Night Stand, he hopes to sample his options.

A simple one-night stand opens a whole new sensuous world to both.

Stephanie Johnson is a hard as nails cop from a long line of police officers. Men find her intimidating and so she hasn’t been able to find a guy who could compete with her tough attitude. Deciding to give 1 Night Stand Dating Service a chance, Stephanie is hoping to at least ease her sexual torment, never expecting to find the man of her dreams.

Hunter Mason is a lawyer who returns to his home town of Vegas after living in New York. He had been living as a submissive in New York but has a change of heart about what he really wants. Hunter is looking for a future complete with children, a dog and a white picket fence. Looking for a night of passion, he also contacts Madame Eve and 1 Night Stand Dating Agency hoping to be able to explore his changing needs.

Handcuffs and Silk is an exciting read! The characters jump off the page and steam up the covers as they explore their sexuality. I really liked how Hunter and Stephanie were both switches, able to be both dominant and submissive. Their relationship showed how people could have so many different needs! The character of Stephanie reminded me of those tough policewomen who are forced to play in a man’s world. While they are strong and determined women, they also need to be taken care of and protected. With Hunter, Stephanie has the best of both worlds!

Handcuffs and Silk will make you look twice at the next police man or woman who pulls you over for speeding and will definitely make your body heat up with sex and sizzle! If you enjoy a strong story with wonderful characters and hot sex, you are going to love Handcuffs and Silk!
