TEASER / EXCERPT:

“So, you weren’t ignoring me on purpose. I saw you looking my way a few times. I thought you might want to run. You will have to forgive me for thinking the worst. People usually avoid making contact with me. I think it’s my overly handsome face.”

His lips were smiling at his joke. He even chuckled, but his eyes conveyed the hurt he felt about the truth, and her heart ached for him.

Her lips formed a warm smile. “It is something to behold,” she said and winked.

She leaned forward and touched his hand.

It took a moment, but he laughed, and the sound of it warmed her heart. She had a feeling he didn’t laugh very much.

“Beautiful, gracious, and witty, I didn’t think the woman who married me would possess even one of those qualities.”

“I’m sorry to hear that. You seem to have a good sense of humor.”

“People rarely hang around long enough to discover that.”

“Well, I’m going to be around for a while.” She leaned back in her seat once again.

“Maybe not.”

“I will not dishonor my parents. We are married and will remain married for at least one year.”

“So you know about that clause in the arrangement. I thought you might.”

“I learned about it today. My parents would have supported me had I decided not to marry you, though.”

“I would have understood your refusal. I was expecting to be shackled to someone as ugly as I am. To my mind, that would be the only kind of woman who would make the commitment to someone who looks like me. I was resigned to that inevitability. You see, I too could refuse, but given my circumstances I would not even consider it.”

“What do you mean by, ‘my circumstances’?”

“You’re not going to like this.”

He lowered his eyes as if he were embarrassed.

“Let me be the judge of that. You seem to want to be honest with me. That means something, and it matters to me.”

“I hope so, but you’re not going to like it.” He looked at her intently and asked, “Are you a virgin?”

Her cheeks turned bright red. Now it was her turn to lower her eyes in embarrassment. In her exile, she’d tried to get close to a man because she’d been so lonely. The experience was not unpleasant, but it was not pleasant enough for her to try again when that relationship came to an end. With all the talk she’d heard about sexual pleasure, she’d expected more.

“I’d like our relationship to be based in honesty. Since you are being honest with me, I’ll be honest with you.”

She looked up into those beautiful eyes, eyes that she was beginning to fall in love with.

“I am not a virgin.”

He seemed surprised, but oddly pleased.

“Do you love him?”

His face reflected signs of worry.

“No, I probably never did. I was lonely, that’s all.”

“I would imagine you had all sorts of suitors. How could you possibly be lonely?” He sounded doubtful.

How could she explain this without lying to him, and without sounding like a madwoman?

“I was away from home for a few years. It was a strange land. I needed someone to share things with.”

She hoped that he wouldn’t realize that she wasn’t really old enough to have been away from home for a few years, especially away alone. He nodded and seemed satisfied. Maybe he understood needing someone to share things with.

“Good.”

He smiled at the shocked expression on her face.

“Virgins are difficult and needy. When you meet Arun, you will understand my relief.”

“Who is Arun? Isn’t that your middle name?”

“It is my middle name. Arun is my other half.”

“Your brother?”

“No, he is not my brother. He is the other half of me.”

It seemed like he wanted to say more. His lips moved, but no sound and no words escaped.

“He is part of you,” she said. It was a statement. She wanted to understand that that is what he wanted her to believe.

He nodded.

She frowned.

If that’s what he wanted, so be it. “Okay,” she said in a singsong tone that should have implied that she didn’t understand.

He smiled and appeared relieved.

“So…What is it that I’m not going to like?”

TEASER EXCERPT

“It’s been three weeks. I have to go back. There are things I need to take care of.”

“Like what?”

“Harold, be reasonable. I have some personal belongings that I want to get.” Shamika flipped the bacon that was sizzling in the frying pan. Its aroma filled the kitchen with a homey and appetizing scent. Her stomach growled.

“Are you talking about clothes? If your clothes are anything like what you were wearing when you arrived, you don’t need them.” He made a face that showed his distaste.

“Thanks for the vote of confidence regarding my fashion sense.” She elbowed him in the ribs. “For your information, those were my work clothes. I had to maintain a certain persona to live up to the expectations of my clients. Men expect the ‘working girl’ to look a certain way. It’s not my fault the other prostitutes have bad taste in clothing.”

When she disappeared without a trace he knew she’d been telling the truth. Now armed with three pieces of information he is determined to find her.

Rowena was devastated when the curator of the museum couldn’t help. Minerva had said, "If the universe is willing, he will come to you." Fat chance she has of that happening.

TEASER / EXCERPT:

Rowena stretched lazily in the bed. The satin sheets caressed her sensitive body. She reached her arm out, searching for the body she expected to find next to her. Finding the bed empty, she sat upright. She slipped the night mask away from her eyes. “No,” she whispered when her familiar bedroom took form before for her eyes. “It can’t be. I don’t want it to have been a dream. Please, no.” Tears began to stream down her cheeks. “It was too good to be true,” she sobbed. She grabbed her pillow, curled up in the fetal position, and cried. She poured her heart out into her pillow. After what felt like an eternity, she left the bed. She went into the bathroom and flipped on the light switch. Shielding her eyes, she staggered to the sink. She splashed water onto her face and then toweled her face dry. She stood in front of the mirror. “It wasn’t a dream. It was too real to have been a dream,” she whispered, trying to convince herself.

Rowena looked at her reflection in the mirror as she patted her neck dry with the towel. She rested the towel on the sink while squeezing it in her hand making a fist. She leaned forward and stared hard and long into the red bloodshot eyes of her mirror image, her inner turmoil apparent. “It wasn’t a dream,” she repeated in a defiant whisper. She touched her cheeks and lips. Her lips still felt swollen. She stared for long moments into the mirror. Her eyes finally found and rested upon, the thing she had been unconsciously searching for. The hickey Stephen had given her when he’d said she was his. She’d been angry about it then, but she was ecstatically happy about it now. It had happened. She hadn’t imagined it. It was real. He was real. She would find him.

Rosa DeVario and Jon Balentine shared a life with Rosa’s husband, Leon. When Leon died, both were heartbroken. Without Leon as their common denominator, Jon has reverted to his "loving men only" lifestyle, leaving Rosa without a partner.

TEASER / EXCERPT:

Adrian tossed and turned. He awakened from a restless sleep. He’d been having a fretful dream. What had Angelina been trying to tell him? Were his feelings for Jon wrong? He felt conflicted. Angelina was asking the question, why? At first he’d felt guilty and ashamed, until he realized that she was asking him why Jon had developed his sexual preference. Now in a wakeful state he still felt ashamed because he didn’t know. He hadn’t cared. He didn’t think that it mattered, but now he wondered. If Angelina wanted to know, maybe he should, too.

He knew so little about Jon. If he had any hopes of making his new life here on Dulce Isle work he needed to know more about his new lover. He wanted his relationship with Jon to be open and truthful with no secrets between them. He was still trying to deal with the shame he felt for being attracted to a man. He was trying to deal with these absurd feelings of cheating on his dead wife. He was wrestling with the guilt he was feeling because he was beginning to look forward to each new day. Jon and Rosa were giving him hope for the future.

TEASER / EXCERPT:

 “How can I get out of here? I have to go back.” Her eyes darted, looking anywhere except at him. She seemed to realize she wasn’t where she had been, but she wasn’t afraid.

“You want to leave? After making love like that, you want to leave?” He couldn’t believe it. He wouldn’t believe it.

She looked at him. He could see desire and interest lingering in her eyes, a kind of primal need that matched his own. He was sure if the light was better, her complexion would be flushed deep pink with mortification. If being embarrassed was the problem, it would be easily fixed.

“Yes,” she said with little conviction.

“I don’t know. We can ask Sven. He may know. You’ll have to come with me so we can find out.” He jerked his head to the side, indicating the direction they should go. He waited a moment to gauge her reaction. She looked like a scared rabbit. Did she want to bolt?

It was a chance he had to take. Sometimes the only way to catch a fish is to give it some line. He turned and started to walk away. It was one of the most difficult things he’d done in his life.
