I wrote these stories because The Hunt, a paranormal spicy short, won the Mills & Boon Voice of Africa competition. I’d never written romance before, and then I won so I thought I’d explore the genre. Also, I thought the name Delaney Delacouer belonged to a dashing, romantic hero.
My first romance novel, The Joy of Comfort Eating, won the 2016 ROSA Imbali Award for excellence in romance writing. It’s a contemporary romance. It wasn’t quite ‘me’ though. For better or for worse, I was more drawn to writing spicy stories that pushed my heroines to want more. Are their endings forever or for now? I lean towards the latter. Maybe it’s just me. I’m based in Johannesburg, South Africa and live with my cats, my paintings and my beloved swimming pool. Follow my books on Goodreads. If you’re looking for my YA profile, you can find it here.

WATCHED
Newly divorced Professor Evie Brown notices her student Cameron Slade and how attentive he seems, so totally unlike her ex-husband. Cameron is also delicious to look at, all taut body, broad shoulders, and hot eyes. He’s forbidden territory, but one late afternoon as she pleasures herself in an empty lecture hall, she looks up to find she’s not alone. He’s there…watching her.
And then there’s Sophie Walker. Ever since Evie met the sensual woman, she’s allowed her inhibitions to unreel, one by one. It’s Sophie who’s been sharing Evie’s erotic awakening, Sophie who she yearns for. Or is it?
Praise for Watched
"I really enjoyed reading this one. It’s cleverly written, witty and very sexy. This book proves that intelligent erotica is possible. And that it can be empowering. This is a story of a woman growing into being her own person and becoming a sexual subject. More of such books please!”
"Quick, steamy novella with surprisingly complex characters considering how short this book is. I enjoyed Evie's journey as a newly divorced woman who after 20 years is trying to figure out who she is as a person. You could really feel her struggle and the conflict constantly running through her mind. I didn't really know what to expect and was kept on my toes until the very end. Some really steamy sexy times, but beautifully written. This book was a very pleasant surprise.”
"Such a hot and quick read! Smart and well thought out.” - Goodreads Reviewer

Praise for Touched
"A taboo short filled with just enough push and pull between the characters. I loved the past interwoven creating the backdrop to the character's bond, breaking the rules society deems appropriate.” Twisted Book Reviews
"I loved many things about this story. Firstly it was told in dual POV (present) and 3rd person (past) and it added a whole new dimension to the unfolding story. The chemistry between Maxine and Billy, although was strained in the beginning the strong bond was still there.
I really like the tenacity that Max held onto and followed her heart even if it went against what was expected by society. Rules are made, promises are broken and the will to do what is right thing are truly tested." Gazza’s Book Blog
