"Three novellas illustrating intense instant attraction."

Contemporary romance; 3 previously released novellas.

"Lake of Dreams" (1995) Thea Marlow keeps having disturbing dreams about her soul mate. After finishing a mural, she decides to drive up to her childhood summer house at the lake. Richard Chance is renting the house next door and drops by the welcome her to the neighborhood. As their hands touch for the first time, Thea feels an instant connection. Can he be the man of her dreams -- her soul mate?

"Blue Moon" (1999) Sheriff Jackson Brody is supposed to be protecting Deliilah Jones, not thinking about how attracted he is to her. She tries to ignore him but he was entirely too big, too stern, too male. (The most suspenseful one of the bunch.)

"White Out" (1997) Hope Bradshaw opens her door to find an unconscious man on her doorstep. She offers him shelter and tries to nurse him back to health. She falls asleep on top of him and wakes up with him making love to her. (The most sensual of the 3 novellas.)

I have to admit that I'm a fan of Linda Howard's and have yet to read anything of hers that I didn't enjoy. In these stories the characters meet for the first time and instantly have a strong sexual tension between them. Circumstances make it where the characters jump quickly into an intense sexual relationships.

Sexual Content: R.
