"Multicultural Romance Suspense in Sun-Drenched South Florida"

Stephanie Madison has had a 'thing' for her boss, Emelio Sanchez, for years. But Emelio is a playboy and, with her job at stake, Stevie is afraid to make her move. So she comes up with a tantalizing idea: Black Lace letters. She bares her desires on paper, bold and uncompromising. Someday, she thinks, she'll do more than write anonymous notes.

Danger interferes, in the form of a vengeful crime lord determined to strike Emelio where he's most vulnerable. Stevie goes from co-worker to client and is swept away for her own protection. Now, on the run from a destructive killer and trapped with only each other for company and solace, hidden passions erupt and truths are revealed. From letters to lovers, Stevie and Emelio must battle their own fears and weaknesses to win the day.

Lightly connected to Zachary's previous Blaze release, YOURS IN BLACK LACE is a sexy, steaming read about Private Investigation in South Florida. Dynamic, realistic characters dominate the pages and win your heart while the gentle multicultural threads that Zachary weaves in add spice to the story. The suspense is masterfully handled, inextricable from the romantic aspects of the plot and directly responsible for some of the greatest emotional moments between hero and heroine. The sexual content of the book is consistent with standard Blaze releases, and the scenes themselves are relevant to the character and plot both. The letter gimmick is relatively minor, but is used consistently through the novel just enough. A fun, fast- paced (and nicely written) read, BLACK LACE delivers thrills, chills and spicy romance in one package. Definitely one for Blaze fans to keep an eye out for.
