Journey with Sadie and her lusty companion on this very special ride of seductive and passionate illusion. Previously available only in electronic format, these erotic short stories and novellas by Adrianna Dane have now been combined to create this colorful paperback collection! Included in this anthology of delights...... Nights In White Satin (Five years ago it wasn't an accident that almost killed Celine. Beneath the Big Top, surrounded by the scent of sawdust, greasepaints, and the glittering energy of the center ring, can Celine and Peter face their inner fears and reclaim what they've lost?)......No Choice (Back in high school, Ginnie had dated both Mason and Derrick, two best friends. Now, meeting them again, she is faced with an unexpected revelation--one that could change everything and offer her a chance to snuggle into the very position where she truly yearned to be.)......Come Into My Parlor (During a murder investigation, Detective Alex Johnson finds himself in the arms of a wealthy, sexy widow. But with her web wrapped tightly around him, Alex knows his duty is no longer clear.)......Mariposa Soul (Can globetrotting investigative journalist Andre Cordaire acknowledge what his heart and soul cries for? Or will he keep running, denying his need for the one person he knows could make him happy? Even if that person is a man?)......Sequestered Passion (When Judge Eliza O'Brien meets Joseph Acosta, a man with a reputation for enjoying alternative sensual delights, will she jeopardize everything and live in the kaleidoscope of life-giving passionate color or will she suppress her desires and return to the emotionless black-and-white publicly acceptable boundaries of courtly justice?)......NOTE: Also included in this special pa

More About the Author

Adrianna Dane (who also writes as Tess Maynard and Darcy Abriel) has been putting pen to paper since the age of ten. She currently resides in the state of Washington and has been a member of Romance Writers of America and EPIC for the last several years.

The first defining love story Adrianna read back in junior high school was "Wuthering Heights" by Emily Bronte, and that set her on the road to her long standing love affair with the romance genre. Her inspiration in writing often can be found by listening to song lyrics and reading poetry by such poets as Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Edgar Allen Poe, and Ranier Maria Rilke. But finding inspiration for her stories truly has no boundaries for Adrianna.

She freely admits she is a romantic by nature and adding sensual heat to romance with a dusting of suspense is her motto. "Esmerelda's Secret" released by Amber Quill Press in June of 2004 was Adrianna's first book, and with that story and her subsequent books has firmly established herself as a voice within the sensual/erotic romance genre.

Adrianna always looks forward to hearing from her readers and she may be contacted at adriannadane@adriannadane.com. Find out more about her current releases as well as planned future releases and book signings by checking for updates at her website (www.adriannadane.com, www.tessmaynard.com, or www.darcyabriel.com) periodically.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mariposa Soul by Adrianna Dane, February 7, 2008
This review is from: Carnal Carnivale (Paperback)
Andre is a 35 year old investigative report with a perfect winning life: a good job, money and a lot of women to share a bed on night and to leave unattachment on day.

He can't desire no else more... until he meets Simon, his teen's hero, a former report now retired. He is a lot older than Andre, and has a self-consciousness only a very sure man can have. Also him has all in his life, but not a soul mate to share it.

But Andre has never thought on the possibility to be with a man, and Simon knows that and let him go: when Andre will be ready to share his life only with a person, Simon, he will return to him, he is sure of that.

Simon has the strenght derived by a whole life beyond his shoulder. He has lived all and tried all and now he knows what he want. And he also knows that Andre must arrive to his choice alone, not drawn by passion, but only by love.

A very tender and realistic story, with two characters not so young for age, but young when they arrive in the unknown territory of love.
