Lily Diamond

I didn't come to the abandoned hospital where my crew and I stashed two million dollars worth of diamonds to spend the night flirting with a hot young cutie-pie. But here we are. I really like Amanda, and I feel bad about lying to her. But if I can distract her long enough to grab the diamonds, it'll be time well spent. If I'm very lucky, I'll end the night in her bed, too. There's just one problem. My second-in-command has decided it's his time to take over the crew, and he's come with his brother to hunt me through this maze-like complex. Yes, I've got a guide; but since they captured Amanda's old cameraman, Chad, so do they. And unlike me, they have working guns. The world's hottest ghost hunter and I will have to combine our wits, skills, and resources, and figure out how to trust each other. Otherwise the hot ending to Halloween night that we're both gunning for will turn into a bloody ending instead.

Now and again in my life, I run into a woman so pure and sweet that I just want to get her a little dirty--in all the ways she likes. That's what I think every time I look at sweet, thick little Kitty, who runs the animal shelter next door and keeps my dad's dogs healthy. I would love to make her smile--and scream. I'd even let her leave me with plenty of claw marks. But sweet little Kitty's so shy I'm still trying to figure out how to hit her up without scaring her off.

Born out of the popular blog Kale & Caramel, this sumptuously photographed and beautifully written cookbook presents eighty recipes for delicious vegan and vegetarian dishes featuring herbs and flowers, as well as luxurious do-it-yourself beauty products. Plant-whisperer, writer and photographer Lily Diamond believes that herbs and flowers have the power to nourish inside and out. “Lily’s deep connection to nature is beautifully woven throughout this personal collection of recipes,” says award-winning vegetarian chef Amy Chaplin. Each chapter celebrates an aromatic herb or flower, including basil, cilantro, fennel, mint, oregano, rosemary, sage, thyme, lavender, jasmine, rose, and orange blossom. Mollie Katzen, author of the beloved Moosewood Cookbook, calls the book “a gift, articulated through a poetic voice, original and bold.” The recipes tell a coming-of-age story through Lily’s kinship with plants, from a sun-drenched Maui childhood to healing from heartbreak and her mother’s death. With bright flavours, gorgeous scents, evocative stories and more than one hundred photographs, Kale & Caramel creates a lush garden of experience open to harvest year round.
