DIVIDE & CONQUER
Lesbian Romance

Excerpt
“I want to try something,” Freya speaks, her voice that of a whisper.
Lexa looks at her and what she finds there makes her entire insides tingle. “And what would that be, princess?” She holds her breath.
“Kiss me.”
The brunette could have sworn she heard her wrong, her own desperate mind betraying her certainly. But the look in those beautiful eyes was enough to tell her that she had, in fact, heard the blonde right.
“Freya,” she breathes.
“I want you to kiss me,” Freya purred, leaning closer.
Lexa’s breath hitches, her heart hammering against her chest as her eyes dart back towards those glistening lips that are begging for her to taste them. “Are you sure?”
“I don’t want to feel anymore. You make the pain disappear Lex,” she confesses, reaching out to rest a hand on the brunette’s thigh, mouth going dry. “Make the pain go away.”
About Author McKenzie Stark...Born and raised in Northern, Utah I grew up in a very large family with a lot of support for what I wanted to achieve and be as I got older. I started writing poetry when I was about twelve years old and from then on I have not been able to put the Pen down. It has always been such a passion of mine to be able to share something with my readers and fellow writers that can help them in some way.
I found it best to create the best image and feeling that I could for my readers in hopes to have them relate personally. I am a total nerd, I love to read and could do it every day if I had all the spare time in the world. Reading was and is an escape for me, something I can rely on when I just needed to get away for a little bit and place myself in the main characters shoes and be them for a moment. I hope that my books bring you as much joy and happiness as they have me writing them.

SHRIMP ALFREDO FETTUCINE
Serving size 4 to 5
1/4 cup butter
1 cup heavy cream
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 ½ cups freshly grated Parmesan cheese
¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
1 bag precooked de-tailed devained shrimp – defrosted
1 box Fettuccine noodles
Salt and white pepper for taste
In large pot, separate 4 to 5 servings of noodles. Boil water. Add a dash of salt. Do not add oil. Oil will cause the sauce to not stick to the pasta. When water is boiling, add pasta and cook to aldente. Stir frequently to prevent noodles from sticking. Once done, drain and add to sauce which should be done. Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium low heat. Add cream and simmer for 5 minutes, then add garlic and cheese and whisk quickly, heating through. Add dash of salt and white pepper, whisk again. Stir in fully defrosted shrimp and parsley. Add on cooked noodles. Stir. To serve, plate and top with a small sprinkle of parmesan and a side of favorite garlic bread, enjoy!
