Midnight Rodeo
When the rodeo rolls into town, bar owner Talia's only interest is the extra money the increase in trade will bring. What she doesn't yet know is how the sexy blond Reb and the dark, mysterious Cody will make her question everything she ever believed about men, sex and her own desires.
Not only are the cowboys lifelong buddies but they also seem to have the same taste in women--each sending her clear and persistent signals that they want her while fully aware of the interest of their friend.
Unable to resist the lure of her own private rodeo, she succumbs to the cowboys' overwhelming mutual seduction. The relationship intensifies, sparking a rivalry between the friends that forces Talia to choose between them.
As the Rodeo leaves town again, will Talia have nothing but hot memories to remember it by--or will she be giving the cowboy of her dreams a Midnight Rodeo of his own?

"This story was fun to write! Who wouldn't love not one but two sexy cowboys, both determined to drive you wild? Cody and Reb are as visually different as two men can be - one blonde and serious, the other dark and brooding - but they have one important thing in common. They both want Talia!" ~ Luxie
Here is a recipe from Brazil - one of the locations mentioned in my novel For One Night Only. Apparently, it's the favourite dish of Pele (the legendary soccer player).

1 chopped onion
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
1/2 green bell pepper, chopped
2 cloves garlic, crushed
4 ripe tomatoes, diced

3 cups water
2 lbs raw peeled shrimp
1 lb roasted peanuts, chopped in a food processor
1/2 cup coconut milk
Directions
1Heat the oil in a large frypan, and cook the onion for 5 minutes to soften it.
2Add the parsley, green pepper, garlic, tomatoes and chicken.
