Saffron Nights
by Liz Everly

BLURB:
Brazil…Hawaii…India….As a food writer, Maeve has
just been handed the hottest opportunity of her career. She’s being sent on an
international research tour for an aphrodisiac cookbook. The downside is that
she has to travel with rock star photographer and womanizer Jackson Dodds. And
the upside is that she has to travel with Jackson Dodds. Because once they
meet, Maeve understands why he’s been named “America’s Most Eligible
Bachelor”—and despite her best intentions, all she can think about is putting
their arousing recipes to the test…
Sexy and talented, Jackson can have any woman he
desires. But lately, the thrill is gone—until he lays eyes on Maeve, who exudes
sensuality like no one else. She’s determined to keep things professional, but
he knows the attraction is mutual. And as they travel the world, sampling
warming saffron, juicy papaya, silky avocado, rare herbs and teas—and a
mushroom whose very aroma sends women to heights of ecstasy—both discover a
hunger they’ve never known, and don’t want to resist, even amid unexpected
danger…

EXCERPT:
“Here’s something interesting. In late Hellenistic Egypt, Cleopatra used
saffron in her baths so lovemaking would be more pleasurable,” Maeve
interrupted the quiet.
The word lovemaking caught his attention, swirled
around in his mind for a moment. They had called a truce of a sort. But he
couldn’t help but remember—it was just a few nights ago and she was sitting
right next to him. Her lips parted, her head tilted, deep in thought. What was
she thinking?
“Hmmm,” he said, though lovemaking was really the
only word his ears picked up on.
She opened Chef’s book and leafed through its now
even more ragged pages. “Part of saffron’s magical property is the enhancement
of “lust.” Given that the medical findings show saffron as a substance capable
of affecting the neurotransmitters, perhaps saffron may in fact be an
aphrodisiac. Its ingestion is found to be a soothing relaxant capable of
lowering blood pressure and stimulating the respiration. Perhaps, it could also
contain properties that stimulate the libido and the erogenous zones. Some
attest to its sexual properties that they believe is most effective when used
by women. SB’s favorite. I assume SB was a woman.”
“I’m seeing a theme here, are you?” Jackson said.
“Yes, Chef was mostly interested in what the substances
do to women,” she said and smiled.
“It does seem that way,” he managed to say, then
went back to his computer screen. “Whoa,” he said. “Now this is interesting.
The most a man paid to have Sasha for evening? Two and a half million dollars.”
“You are kidding!”
Jackson whistled. “I wonder what makes her worth
that.”
“She is beautiful,” Maeve said.
“Not as beautiful as y—”
“Maybe she has a special trick,” she said, placing
finger quote in the air around “special trick.”
“More likely she fulfills a strange fetish or
fantasy,” he said.
Maeve’s eyes caught his; she lifted her eyebrows.
“What could that be? S & M? The world’s best blow job? What?”
Did she just say blow job? He had to concentrate
not to cough up the water he just drank. He felt the heat rise to his face—and
other parts of him.
“What’s wrong?” she said.
“I, ah, don’t want to talk about um, you know, blow
jobs with you.”
She laughed. “Should I be insulted?”
