MOCHA BROWNIES
Setting the Scene:
Inept cook Jill Carey gets some help from the resident ghosts in Bliss House when
she makes a disaster out of a simple brownie recipe she is trying to make for her lover,
Kyle Randall. Here’s an excerpt of a lighter moment in Sara Jarrod’s novel, HEAVENLY
BLISS, a Berkley Haunting Hearts romance described by bestselling author Susan Wiggs
as “a dark and gritty tale of sexual obsession and the healing power of love.”
Excerpt from Heavenly Bliss:
“Look, I’ll show you. These brownies may not look perfect, but they taste just
fine.” She used a knife to scrape out a hunk and shoved it into her mouth.
“Ugh,” she sputtered, sprinting to the sink to spit out the scorched, bitter morsel
before rinsing her mouth with water straight from the tap.
Cyrus chuckled, and Jill silently seconded Kyle’s suggestion to keep this ghost on
edge until the last hour of the last day before doing the deed that would set him and Laura
free.
“
Cyrus Bliss!” Laura appeared beside Jill and encouraged her to drink more
water, this time from a glass. “Leave this poor young lady alone. If she feels she needs to
learn to cook, I will teach her. Make yourself useful now. Take that pan outside and bury
it. My grandson does not need to see it, or this.”
Jill watched Laura float around the kitchen, gathering up the ingredients she had
strewn all around and putting them away. “Don’t,” she protested. “At least I’m able to do
that.”
“Describe how you made those brownies,” Laura suggested while Jill scrubbed
damp flour off the floor.
When Jill obliged her, the ghost shook her head and chuckled. “I believe they
meant you to use brewed coffee, not coffee grounds, my dear.”
