Sometimes, you want something chocolatey, nutty, and yummy. Add the fact that it’s pretty darn easy to throw together, and what’s not to enjoy? In fact, the hardest part is waiting for it to cool enough to eat. It’s really hard not to nibble while it’s still warm.

Going “Old Skool” romance with today’s title. TWICE THE TEMPTATION is still one of my favorite books in the Red Dirt Royalty Harlequin Desire series I wrote. Brittany Owens is a storm chaser and down in Texas during hurrican season. Cooper Tate is down there buttoning down his family’s drilling operations before the storm hits. In the eye of the storm, passion overrides common sense. When Britt came across this recipe, she couldn’t help but make it and serive to Coop. If you’re interested in their story, you can click on either pic that has the cover or on the title to head over to Harlequin to claim your copy. And trust me when I say, this cake is totally twice the temptation! 😉
