Seduction: An Interracial Romance Anthology Volume 5
F*ck The Holidays!
Holiday mess and family drama...
In the closet, Juan asks his female friend, and partner’s sister, Skylar, to pose as his fake fiancée during a holiday trip home to visit his conservative, yet dysfunctional, family. He also brings his actual man, Terry, along for the ride. Yet Juan’s brother, Ángel, isn’t convinced at all about Juan’s whole flimsy cover story.
Convinced that some major drama is about to unfold, and that his brother is definitely hiding something, Ángel watches the trio carefully. Too bad in the process of trying to unveil the bs, Ángel ends up never being able to tear his eyes away from Sky…
Sky is nervous under the watchful gazes of Juan’s family, but especially with Ángel’s eyes constantly on her, she might never be able to pull off the deception Juan’s engaged her for. Even worse, Sky soon discovers that she wants way more from Ángel than him keeping his eyes on her.
This Has Bad Idea Written All Over It
Ridiculous love schemes to find “the one”? Check! Let the shenanigans begin!
It all started out as yet another harmless love ploy for Chloe, which ended up a lot differently than she’d expected in the end, after she roped her best friend into posing as her fake boyfriend. Still, who knew once the pandora’s box was open of confessing their real, previously hidden thoughts, that she and Luke would end up having to confront a lot more from their past than just their feelings for each other.
The Assistant
Jingle bells, quarantine hell, is a divorce on the way?!
With pandemic quarantining, working from home, trying to keep her home functional and from being overrun by an avalanche of mess and clutter, and all while virtually crisis schooling her two kids from home, Deborah Morgan is on the verge of losing her mind. Adding to the overall chaos is the fact that her husband, Stanley Morgan, isn't really helping her. In fact, Stan isn’t doing much of anything other than just working these days either.
Debbie's fed up with trying to do it all without Stan pitching in to boot!
So, now, Debbie is hiring an assistant to help out her entire family. Yet even with a seemingly perfect, highly competent, efficient and effective organizer and tamer of the previous chaos in their world, has Debbie actually invited more upheaval into her life with her new assistant's arrival?
Also, what is Stan willing to do to ultimately save his marriage now that he's finally realized things weren't going as great as he thought they were before his wife hired the assistant?
Until She Met Him – The Assistant Part 2
Not what either of them expected…
Miranda isn’t exactly what Chase thought she’d be. Personality-wise, she’s also nothing like her aunt Debbie either, like Chase was hoping for. In fact, calling the Morgans’ niece extra might not fully cover it when it comes to describing Miranda.
To be honest, in the beginning, Chase is a little intimidated by her.
Still, over time, the more he gets to know and understand her, the more he thinks he likes her.
Chase’s mere proximity can unknowingly make Miranda so distracted, flustered and uncomfortable that she can’t concentrate. He probably thinks she’s a total airhead too, because he’s supposed to be training her as a domestic worker, but whenever he’s near, everything Chase tries to teach her goes right out of her head! Miranda’s certain she’s never felt this way about a guy before, so she’s not sure what to think about their interactions either.
When uncle Stan insists she live in Chase’s tiny home, Miranda tries to learn how to adjust, and deal with her discomfort with Chase head on. Then the more Chase works hard to get to know her, the more Miranda feels she can open up to him. Still, can that comfort level ever lead anywhere besides the friend zone between the two of them?

About the author
CeCe Monet
32 books15 followersCeCe Monét is a best-selling author, copy editor and owns indie publishing company C-Verse Productions, formerly Diva C Publishing. Since writing her first short story for a school assignment at age 10, she’s always known that she wanted to grow up and be a writer too! Her early writing influences include: Judy Blume, Charles Dickens, Paula Danzinger, Toni Morrison, Alice Walker, Harlequin and Silhouette romance novels and various storytelling genres from Disney.
CeCe’s goal with her work is to entertain, educate and enrich her reader’s lives by engaging them in engrossing stories. Her end objective is to get people thinking about what’s really happening out in the world through private relationships so her readers can decide for themselves if they’re happy and comfortable with the status quo, or if they are going to become social change agents…
CeCe is a veteran writer having covered a myriad of topics and genres from blogs, to articles on global food politics, to self-help guides, to business plans to poetry, to interracial romance novels.
She is a Los Angeles, California native and also the mom of one amazing son, an avid reader, foodie, paranormal enthusiast, knitter, overall art lover, introvert and a self-professed nerd with a sharp wit and awesome sense of humor. She enjoys wine, the beauty of sunsets at the beach, romance, and is obsessed with all things diversity, hence the reason her romance novels primarily deal with interracial relationships.
Major Themes, Subjects and Plots of the Author’s Fiction Work:
Most of CeCe Monét’s fiction deals with love, loss, changes in human nature given different circumstances and thus situational ethics, greed, grief, and lust, essentially coping with everyday real life through the lens of characters involved in various types of romantic relationships.
She utilizes her characters and story lines to examine how people deal with their emotional baggage, and how they handle the most random situations in their lives, especially since the author herself constantly experiences some very strange real life occurrences. Through her characters, she is interested in exploring raw, real human emotions and what people learn along the way as they move along their life journeys.
Above all, what CeCe most wants to convey to her readers is that men and women are all individuals and that we should embrace our diversity, but also celebrate that we’re all interconnected. Basically, she wants people to realize that love truly does conquer all and that this life is all about synergy, as both sexes really do need each other.
