I am thrilled to welcome Jessica E. Subject to the blog to share her new book, His Omega on Stage, Shifter Towers Book 4 and recipe for cookies to eat along with it. Enjoy.

Thank you so much, Shari, for inviting me to visit your blog with my new release, His Omega on Stage!

In my Shifter Towers series, each shifter has their own distinctive scent that their destined mate finds very attractive. In The fourth book in the series, His Omega on Stage, Jun’s scent is pine and allspice. He’s the alpha. But, he cannot deny his attraction to Ash’s scent of vanilla and brown sugar.

Here’s a brief snippet from the story…

As soon as I stepped inside, I ran my fingers through my hair to get it off my face. If I’d had to work the next day, I probably would have passed on Ash’s offer of coffee. I’d had plenty of caffeine already, yet struggled to stay awake. For some reason, being Ash’s personal guard during the signing had exhausted my energy, and I hadn’t quite recovered. Not that I’d had to rescue him from an out-of-control fan, but simply being on constant alert for the slightest hint of something wrong was tiring. And then when someone in the audience had asked if Ash had an alpha, I thought I was going to fail at my duties. Not because there had been a massive fan revolt. There hadn’t been. But from the intoxicating scent, a combination of vanilla and brown sugar, that Ash had released when asked. I didn’t know if he was uncomfortable, so I moved closer, hoping to give him a sense of calm, to let him know I was still there, that I would protect him. Plus, I may have been a little anxious myself. I had to admit, he was an attractive omega: wide eyes, a sharp jaw line, yet still had a youthful glow. And he didn’t have any appearance of an alpha’s claim. But that didn’t mean he wasn’t seeing someone. He’d said he wasn’t, but what public figure admitted to seeing someone until they were serious, especially one just starting their career? Maybe I’d find out in a few minutes. Maybe Ash was already with his boyfriend while waiting for me. For some reason, the idea turned my stomach.

Since that is Ash’s scent, I wanted to share a recipe that would give of the same warm scent as one of my favorite characters. Here’s a recipe for Brown Sugar Butter Cookies that I found on www.tastesoflizzyt.com (original author Julie Clark)

Ingredients

  • 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup light brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (room temperature)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup white granulated sugar for rolling (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cream together the butter and brown sugar.
  2. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and mix again. Make sure it’s really creamy before you go to the next step.
  3. Add in the egg and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking powder. Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture and stir just until combined.
  5. Scoop out dough (approx.. 1 ½ tablespoons) and roll into balls. Roll the balls in the granulated sugar.
  6. Place onto parchment paper or silicone baking mat lined cookie sheet. Press down with the tines of a fork.
  7. Refrigerate dough balls for 30-60 minutes.
  8. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the centers are set. Do not let the cookies get brown, so that they stay soft.
  10. Allow the cookies to cool on the pan for 3-4 minutes, then move to a baking rack to finish cooling.
  11. Store in an airtight container.
  12. Enjoy!

Omega on Stage BLURB

Jun

For leopard cat shifter, Jun, being the rogue alpha in high school hadn’t helped him as an adult. Though he sometimes believed he was ready to find a mate, past experiences taught him those he loves eventually leave him. So, he protects his heart by seeing omegas looking for nothing more than a one-night stand. Until he runs into someone from his past.

Ash

As the first omega signed to Adan Records, AI is anxious for the release of his debut album. Being a leopard cat shifter instead of an actual leopard like the rest of his family has always made him feel small and insignificant. But now he’s about to shine bright in front of the world, all on his own, without an alpha by his side. He doesn’t need one, and definitely doesn’t have time for one. Though when he runs into someone from his past who knows him as Ash, he wants to give this alpha all of his attention.

On Stage

But with all the problems that fame brings, will Ash be able to make a relationship work? Will Jun fight for the omega he’s sure is his fated mate? Or will they let each other slip away, believing what they have isn’t enough?
