If they make it through the storm, love will just be the icing on the cake…
Delighted, an all-new spicy and intriguing novella set in the Masters and Mercenaries world from New York Times bestselling author Lexi Blake and 1,001 Dark Nights, is available now!
Brian “Boomer” Ward believes in sheltering strays. After all, the men and women of McKay-Taggart made him family when he had none. So when the kid next door needs help one night, he thinks nothing of protecting her until her mom gets home. But when he meets Daphne Carlton, the thoughts hit him hard. She’s stunning and hardworking and obviously in need of someone to put her first. It doesn’t hurt that she’s as sweet as the cupcakes she bakes.
Daphne Carlton’s life revolves around two things—her kid and her business. Daphne’s Delights is her dream—to take the recipes of her childhood and share them with the world. Her daughter, Lou, is the best kid she could have hoped for. Lou’s got a genius-level intelligence and a heart of gold. But she also has two grandparents who control her access to private school and the fortune her father left behind. They’re impossible to please, and Daphne worries that one wrong move on her part could cost her daughter the life she deserves.
As Daphne and Boomer find themselves getting closer, outside forces put pressure on the new couple. But if they make it through the storm, love will just be the icing on the cake because family is the real prize.
**Every 1001 Dark Nights novella is a standalone story. For new readers, it’s an introduction to an author’s world. And for fans, it’s a bonus book in the author’s series. We hope you'll enjoy each one as much as we do.**

This story had so many great characters, and we always love seeing our favorite characters like Charlotte and Big Tag grace our pages once again but, now we have Lou and Daphne added to the list of great characters and their Taggart/McKay family is growing once again.
We loved Lou from the moment we met her. She is a beautiful child inside and out and for being a genius at her age, she was a well-rounded child, albeit a bit lonely and sad. Loved the easiness and the friendship that developed quickly between her and Boomer from the moment he met her, he was her protector, her friend, and found it so easy to love her.
Daphne was a character once first meeting her seemed standoffish and maybe not so nice a person but, after learning about her life and struggles up until this point, you realize now her first introduction she was suited up with her armor. Once you really got to know her she was an amazing mom, a single parent trying to always do the best and be the best mom she can be and had a great personality but, what we loved most is she saw Boomer for what the man really is, a kind and loving soul who is possessive and protective of those he loves animals and human alike.
We loved it! Loved how Lou and Daphne fit right in with the family Boomer had created for himself. Loved Boomer and Daphne as a couple, they were so sweet together and belonged together. We have to say that the Taggart/McKay clan, and their kids, were priceless and made us laugh. We see in the future that the children might just follow in their parent's footsteps, and I, for one, can't wait to be on their journeys.
