Hello there! I’m so happy to be back at Love Bytes for another visit. This time we’re talking about food. Which happens to be one of my favorite subjects! Yummy treats, big filling meals with delicate seasonings, and robust soups or stews. My stomach is growling just thinking about such a grand buffet!
In my newest release, Safflower, A Tales of Bryant Novella #3, I found myself penning a tale about a budding chef and a wanna-be Broadway actor falling in love amid the hustle and bustle of the Big Apple. Luis, our up-and-coming chef, is an immigrant and a new citizen. While he’s been working as a housekeeper and cook to a famed movie producer, his dream has been to attend a high caliber cooking school. So, with a dollop of drive, a pinch of determination, and heaping helping of tenacity he eventually finds himself accepted into one of the most prestigious culinary schools in New York City.
Of course no Tales of Bryant story would be complete without a romance, and this one has a glorious one. No rich and powerful millionaires or big business tycoons. Just two working class men pushing onward to persue their goals. Will they achieve their dreams or will life and bigotry hold them back? I won’t spoil so if you’d like to know the answers to that, you’ll have to add Safflower to your digital or print library.
If you’d like to know more about Safflower, or the other Tales of Bryant books, you can find the blurb below as well as a link to take you to my website for more information.
Thanks for dropping by!
Skate hard and love deeply,

Two men are about to discover that dreams really do come true if you have love as your main ingredient.
People say Luis Duton has been incredibly lucky. Luis says that as well, but something’s been missing from his life. Even though he holds a glamorous position as cook/housekeeper/confidant for famed movie producer Caiden Dell, he dreams of attending culinary school. When he finally works up the courage to apply to one of the most prestigious institutes in all of Manhattan, he’s shocked when his application is approved. Overjoyed at first, he soon discovers that the heat is on big time as he battles with his insecurities along with one of his instructors.
With his dream about to go up in smoke, he goes to see a Broadway play to lose himself for a few hours. There he buys a box of candy from another young man with a dream: Fraser Wayne. Fraser’s passion is the theater, but his goal seems as far away as Luis’ at the moment. Drawn to the man’s devotion to his ambitions as well as the beauty of his smile, Luis soon finds himself caught up in a love affair ten times hotter than any kitchen.
USA Today Bestselling Author V.L. Locey – Penning LGBT hockey romance that skates into sinful pleasures.
V.L. Locey loves worn jeans, yoga, belly laughs, walking, reading and writing lusty tales, Greek mythology, Torchwood and Dr. Who, the New York Rangers, comic books, and coffee. (Not necessarily in that order.) She shares her life with her husband, her daughter, one dog, two cats, a pair of geese, far too many chickens, and two steers.
When not writing spicy romances, she enjoys spending her day with her menagerie in the rolling hills of Pennsylvania with a cup of fresh java in one hand and a steamy romance novel in the other.
looking forward to it!
