Pre-Order Simply Irresistible

I’m pretty excited about this news. Starting a new series is always a thrill, and I’m loving this one. Flatiron Five features five friends who have built a successful business in Manhattan together. Now, it’s time for them to meet their romantic matches….

One of my working titles for this series was Five Weddings and a Fitness Club, but I thought it was too long. The series starts with Tyler, the finance guy on the team, who likes everything organized. Amy is going to shake his tree, and he’s going to like it!

Simply Irresistible, a contemporary romance by Deborah Cooke and first in the Flatiron Five series.Tyler has had enough…

Going to his fourth sister’s wedding without a date will only encourage his female relations to “help” him find romance. Ty’s ready to wait for Ms. Right, and doesn’t want anyone meddling in his love life. When he learns that the quiet cute woman who works in his building has the same predicament, he’s sure they can each provide a solution for the other. But there’s far more to Amy than meets the eye, and Tyler finds himself not only intrigued by her secrets, but falling hard. How far will he go to make their temporary arrangement permanent, and win the heart of a woman he finds…simply irresistible?

Coming November 29, 2016.

Her Dark Prince, book #1 in Ella Ardent's Tales from Euphoria series of erotic romancesHere’s a fun detail about this series. In Simply Irresistible, Amy decides (with Tyler’s encouragement) to follow her dream of becoming a writer. She begins to write an erotic fairy tale called Her Dark Prince. My fellow writer, Ella Ardent, agreed to write and publish “Amy’s” books. Her Dark Prince is the first title in Ella’s Euphoria series, and it’s available now.

A Collaboration

I think this bit of news is so much fun.

In fact, I’ve been itching to tell you about it since last summer and now – ta da! – the day has come.

DeborahCooke_SimplyIrresistibleBK1_200The other day, I told you about my upcoming series of contemporary romances, which launch with Simply Irresistible in June. Today, I’ll tell you the twist. I had an idea that the heroine in Simply Irresistible would love reading erotic romances. When challenged by the hero to take a chance, she decides to try writing erotic romances and publishing them herself. This is part of her journey, but I liked the idea of her story being inspired by her romance in Simply Irresistible. In fact, I wanted to include excerpts from her “book” in my book.

But I don’t write erotic romance. :-/

Her Dark Prince, book #1 in Ella Ardent's Tales from Euphoria series of erotic romancesEnter the collaboration. Ella Ardent is writing a new series of erotic romances which will be connected to my new series of contemporary romances. This is huge fun and is not just allowing me to include excerpts from her books in mine, but to coordinate the story lines a bit and to do some joint promotion. Our on-sale dates will match for the duration of the two series.

Ella’s series is faux-medieval, which is fun, and set in the fictional realm of Euphoria. The first book in her series is Her Dark Knight and it’s available for pre-order for June.

This is going to be fun!
