BILLIONAIRE’S SECRET
Billionaire Romance
BY LYZ KELLEY
Blurb
Billionaire Weston Carver gets what he wants.
And he wants the savvy Courtney Kramer to run his newly acquired business.
Courtney wants nothing to do with the sexy and powerful New York influencer. His domineering nature drives her crazy, but if she’s going to avoid losing the women’s shelter building lease, she needs a financial backer to secure a loan.
Weston has the money and means to support a half dozen charities, and co-signing a loan? No problem. But what will he want in return?
Time is running out. If she wants to continue helping women in need, she must make a deal with the uber hot CEO—a deal that doesn’t include her in his bed.
DOCTOR’S SECRET
Women’s New Adult & College Fiction
BY LYZ KELLEY
Blurb
McKenzie Carver is not a miracle worker.
How is she supposed to deal with the obnoxious, self-important, sexy surgeon that won’t listen to reason?
The obstinate doctor is putting her family name at risk with his over-the-top demands and bullish nature. But he’s her responsibility, her family says, and she must find a way to keep him in line. If she doesn’t, he won’t get the hospital operating room—the robotic suite her family has funded—functional.
Garrett Branston is a workaholic with a sharp wit and irresistible charm—but his charm isn’t working on gorgeous McKenzie Carver. She might be suggesting he chill, but the attraction between them is anything but cold.
When she tells him he needs some serious PR intervention and suggests a fake engagement to redeem his reputation, he agrees, as long as she’s the one to pose as his fiancee.
But Garrett is still hiding something, and McKenzie fears his secrets will ruin everything her family has built.

Excerpt Quotes
“Envy stabbed his heart. For a brief moment he indulged himself in longing for the impossible, then turned away. A love like theirs would never happen for him.”
~~~
“Naturally, as soon as she discovered who he was she’d come find him, because everyone always wanted something from him. It was only a matter of time before she showed up to ask for his money or influence. Not him, just what he could give.”
~~~
“I remember. Just some days the voices of the past are louder than I want them to be.“

CREAM SCONES
2 cups flour
8 Tbs (4 oz.) unsalted butter frozen
1 tsp baking powder
½ cup dried currants or raisins
1/4 tsp baking soda
½ cup sour cream
½ tsp salt
1 large egg
1/3 cup sugar
In mixing bowl stir dry ingredients until blended. Use large holes of box grater to grate butter over mixture. Work in with fingers until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add currants.
In small bowl whisk sour cream and egg until smooth.
Using fork stir sour cream mixture into flour until large clumps of dough form.
Use hands to form clumps into ball. The heat of your hands will soften butter enough to overcome initial dryness.
Pat out dough on lightly floured surface and either cut out with biscuit cutter or shape into large circle and cut into wedges. Place on cookie sheet about 1 inch apart and bake in hot oven about 15-17 minutes. (I use parchment paper on cookie sheet and bake at 400 degrees.) Cool for 5 minutes before serving.
QUICK BREAKFAST SCONES
1 cup flour
¼ tsp. salt
6 Tablespoons (3 oz.) butter
½ tsp bicarbonate of soda
1/3 cup sugar
1 cup butter milk
Put flour, sugar, salt in bowl. Rub in butter to make crumbs. Dissolve soda in buttermilk. Stir into bowl to make soft dough. Use spoon to drop onto light greased cookie sheet and bake in hot oven about 17-20 minutes.

interesting recipe
Thank you so much for sharing your books and those delicious sounding scone recipes. I remember many years ago when my daughter wanted high tea for her birthday party and we couldn’t find any scone recipes.
