Unveiling a New Penname
The time has finally arrived, dear reader! It’s time for me to reveal the contemporary erotic romance penname I’ve been keeping under wraps for over a year, and to unveil the synopsis for my upcoming romance ALL THE RIGHT ANGLES! This novella is m/m/f romance about a Grumpy architect and his Sunshiney boyfriend making our historian heroine a very indecent proposal. Look for the book in spring 2022, and for pre-order information coming soon through this newsletter along with a very moody, mysterious cover reveal.
In the new year, I will be releasing romances under the pseudonym CORDELIA TAYLOR. You can follow me on Twitter @authorcordelia or on Instagram @cordeliataylorauthor to peek at snippets, learn more about what I’m writing, and stay up to date on book news! And now, a synopsis~
She was promised a one-night stand. She never expected to be gifted by one man to another.
When historical preservation expert Emma meets sunny, sexy Ryan at a benefit gala for her beloved La Bella theatre, she thinks she’s found the perfect guy.
There’s just one problem: Ryan is the fiancé of Robert, a modern architect and Emma’s workplace rival.
Robert and Emma can barely stand to be in the same room together: he’s ten years older than her, a total workaholic, and determined to destroy the La Bella’s charm in the name of restoration. Which makes it all the more shocking when Robert invites Emma back home to play the role of Ryan’s fantasy-fulfilling birthday present.
The catch? Robert gets to watch.
One night of no-strings sex turns into a mindblowing menage, with Emma caught between Ryan’s unashamed passion and Robert’s brooding control. The three become increasingly entangled in each other, and boundaries blur and taboos are shattered as Emma’s darkest desires are brought to light.
But as the restoration gets underway, Robert and Emma’s dueling responsibilities clash. She wants to save the La Bella. He wants to raze it to the ground. And Ryan wants them to find a middle ground, or else he’s out.
Can three busy professionals make an unorthodox arrangement work, or will ego tear them apart?
I’ve wanted to branch out into adult contemporary romance for so long, and it’s one of the scariest, most exciting things I’ve ever done in my career. I’m excited to meet new readers and make new friends in this space, especially since the genre has been such a haven for me over the last few years. And when you see the cover for ALL THE RIGHT ANGLES? You’re absolutely going to die, dear reader.
I’ll leave you with that! Hopefully you’ll be hearing from me again very soon with even more exciting news! Be safe and well until we two meet again.
