Soulful Strut
HarperTorch    November 2006    ISBN: 0060731044

New life, hot love

Monette Victor spent 15 years in prison for a crime she didn't commit. Now she's free, and making up for stolen time. She's bared her soul in a best selling tell-all memoir, hosts a hit radio talk show, and has more speaking gigs than she knows what to do with. And she's counseling young black women at risk. Monette's suddenly the hottest sister in the city--and she's got no time for romance.

But here comes Jayson Odum, a self-made businessman and a sweet, black Adonis in overalls. It's all wrong and Monette knows it. His folks are the Huxtables, her's are pure, messed-up 'hood'. She's an ex-con, he's so clean he squeaks. Monette's had to stay tough to gain respect, and she can't afford any more mistakes in her life. But she's about to be blindsided by a big dose of bad trouble--and maybe driving Jayson away would be the worst mistake she ever made...

Good Woman Blues
Harper Torch     August 2005    ISBN: 0060731028

Sometimes it's all got to go bad to turn out good...

It didn't take much for Erikka Rochon's charmed Big Easy life to hit rock bottom: a car accident, a scandal--and suddenly she's gone from climbing the corporate ladder to being driven out of town. Ordered to take some time off, an always-on-the-go sister now has nowhere to go, except back home to the bayou to slow down and figure out why a smart, beautiful, professional lady who always had time to party never found time for happiness.

Aunt Darlene's house was Erikka's safe haven in childhood, filled with good aromas and feelings, and a much-needed mixture of tenderness and tough love. But a good woman who lost her way needs something more to chase her demons and her blues--and it might just be Gabriel Cormier, the tall, quiet son of Loreauville's most prominent family, a man with a past more notorious than hers.

It could be love. It could be heaven. It could be more trouble knocking on Erikka's door...

Kiss Lonely Goodbye
Harper Torch    August 2003    ISBN: 0060089296

Emma Award Winner for Book of the Year & Favorite Hero - 2003

"Ms. Emery writes with style and class."  Romance Reviews Today

Dark, Rich And Beautiful

Nicole Summers Benoit is stunned. She has inherited the mega-profitable Summers Security firm from a late uncle she never liked. But she's a sister with brains as well as looks, and she's determined to prove she's got the goods to run a major company. First, though, she needs to convince vice-president Marcus Reed--a man so fine he makes her knees weak, but with a chip on his shoulder as big as Mount Rushmore.

Marcus is proud to have worked his way out of the 'hood and up the corporate ladder--and nothing riles him more than pampered Black-American Princesses. And now one's been handed the CEO position that was rightfully his! Nicole is one smart, sexy boss lady, however--and soon he's working hard to create some serious heat with her after business hours rather than hoping to see her fail. But when a crime wave hits Summers Security and Marcus is targeted as the prime suspect, not only is the company's future in danger, but a hot new love could freeze up as well.

All I Want Is Forever
Harper Torch    November 2002    ISBN: 0060089288

"A saucy and suspenseful read." Publishers Weekly

Coming Home

Talia Marchand has come a long way from Pointe Coupee Parish to Washington, D.C.--and this smart and beautiful political consultant never wants to go back. But the past and painful family responsibility are calling her home to tiny Rougon--and to Derrick Guillory.

As tempting as the richest chocolate, Derrick shared a first passion with Talia when they were both young and troubled--and a dark, deep, and dangerous secret. Now an investigator for the local D.A., he thinks he's over the lady who was his world back in the day. But the years haven't changed his feelings for Talia--and he finds it impossible to deny what's meant to be. Talia thought she could get away; Derrick thought he could forget. And now that they're together again, love's true promise must be honored--and the ghosts that have haunted their lives must finally be destroyed.

Tell Me Something Good
Harper Torch     May 2002     ISBN: 038081305X

"A gifted storyteller." Baton Rouge Sunday Advocate

Good Lovin'

Lyrissa Rideau's determined to reclaim her legacy: a valuable heirloom that was stolen from her family decades ago. She's been hired to evaluate the art collection of the powerful Creole St. Denis family, and her goal seems close at hand, but there's a complication--Noel St. Denis is giving her the eye. New Orlean's most eligible bachelor, the dusky, upper-crust dreamboat is used to getting anything he desires. And if Lyrissa's to succeed, she'll have to keep her own eye on the prize...and off of Noel's fine, manly form!

What's up with the woman? The king of the brief, hot affair, CEO Noel's got the money, the power and enough sweet talk to charm any lady--yet Lyrissa's the first to make him consider a permanent merger. He'd love to taste those luscious full lips, but it's also clear she's got something besides loving on her mind. Lyrissa thinks her secrets and her heart are safe, but she'd better watch out--'cause sexy Noel's coming on...with a passion!

Gotta Get Next To You
Harper Torch     May 2001    ISBN: 0380813041

"Fast-paced." Publishers Weekly

A man named trouble

Smart, good-looking, and newly divorced, Andrea Noble thought coming home to Louisiana would be the perfect cure for her Big City Blues. But her new position as director of the floundering, badly disorganized Bayou Blue Health Clinic is bringing this sistah nothing but grief. And it doesn't help that the one man who comes to her rescue is tall, charming, righteously handsome--and has "serial lover" written all over him.

Jamal Turner is a hot chocolate dream to be sure--the kind of man who could add real fire to the slow, sultry evenings in a sleepy small town. Andrea knows what that kind of trouble's about--and she's determined to keep cool, no matter how badly her body burns for what she's missing and Jamal's got. But Jamal is a man on a mission and not here for love--though the fine, independent lady he's secretly been hired to investigate is suddenly doing something serious to his heart...
