Book Description

Publication Date: November 13, 2007

In LAW & DISORDER (previously published as A BRUSH WITH LOVE) a beautiful artist's model, and a young man studying to be a painter in defiance of his family's long tradition in law enforcement, meet on the campus of Mass Art in Boston, and the immediate intensity of their feelings for each other stirs up some serious trouble. Michael might not be a cop like his father, but his arresting personality is irresistible to Miranda, especially when he discovers dark, hidden longings inside her, a submissiveness that mirrors his own masterfulness and that challenges all their conventional ideas about what a relationship should be like. It takes every bit of self-control, and all the creative skills, Michael possesses to give Miranda everything they both secretly want, despite how dangerous their unorthodox desires might prove to their profound love for each other. In MOONLIGHT's EDGE (previously published as THE FIRE IN STARLIGHT) Professor Sofia Angelou breaks up with her boyfriend and loses her best friend to a heart attack all in one devastating afternoon, after which she is equally stunned to discover that Robert willed her his twenty acre wooded estate in Clinton, LA. Requesting a sabbatical, she leaves Baton Rouge for the countryside, where the moon and the stars exert a haunting pull on her blood in the form of intensely erotic dreams... dreams she is afraid might be memories of another time and place where she died violently by her own lover's hands. Then one night a distant bonfire ignited by the silhouette of a man captures her imagination, and her increasingly dark fantasies begin dangerously blurring the line between dreams and reality when she meets the owner of all the land adjoining hers. John reminds her disturbingly of the man in her dreams, yet against all caution and reason, she begins falling in love with him. By day he teaches her the pleasures of living close to nature, but at night John is master of more than sixty acres, and he is intent on giving Sofia everything she fears and yet craves more than anything.
