About
Climax
Jenny Miller
sells cars. She is one of the best in a tough profession where her
gender is the sharpest of two-edged swords. Driven by the kind of
internal engine that serves any breakout salesman in the sexist seventies
and eighties, she dominates the showroom floor until one day she decides
to move with her children to coastal North Carolina for a new start.
Dr. David Sandler is a prominent psychiatrist specializing in hypnotism.
When his personal life takes an unexpected turn, he devises a way
to use his patients to help him out. The fact that they don't know
how helpful they are being makes it easier for him to control things,
even their deaths. He falls in love with Jenny and is determined to
make her his bride. After all, she is already the mother of his child,
though she doesn't know it.
Colin Gregory Scott, a recently retired police detective looking
for a new direction for his life following an unwanted divorce, takes
a private investigating job referred by a friend. With the case finally
behind him, he takes his son to the North Carolina coast to establish
a bond, to renew his spirit and think about his next career. Little
does he know that this will ultimately connect all the avenues of
his life.

About
What Dreams Are Made Of
This book
is for women who like to read romantic stories of love that include
the sensual aspects of a man and a woman as they fall in love. Each
story is meant to be read in one night as a substitute date. When
a woman finds herself alone when she'd really rather be with somebody
special, all she has to do is run her finger down the list and
select
her "date" for the evening. She can choose the man of her
dreams from the occupations listed: State Trooper, Airline Pilot,
Myrtle Beach Biker, Country Singer and Charity Date. They are all
the ultimate in fantasy. Once she's made her choice, she can settle
in for an evening of romance and love with the very essence of what
dreams are made of–fantasy and desire.
Each story follows a particular hero and heroine as they meet, discover
their attraction for each other and ultimately fall in love. The heroes
are strong, sensuous and commanding while still vulnerable enough
to fall in love. They are the men women dream about. The women who
read the stories are the heroines. They are everyday working women,
always believing that they are on the verge of meeting their perfect
love. They are women who love to dream. In each scenario the sexual
tension is allowed to build before circumstances finally permit the
hero and heroine to express their passions and the curtain does not
close for the reader, who is permitted to fully find out What Dreams
Are Made Of.
Imagine
being saved by a state trooper just seconds before being raped,
then never wanting to be saved from him. Imagine being swept off
your feet by a dashing pilot when you're engaged to be married, and
having
the best night of your life before having to tell him good-bye. Imagine
being somewhat of a prude and suddenly finding yourself on the
back of a Harley holding on to a man who makes your toes curl.
Imagine finally meeting
the famous country singer that you've idolized for years and not
even knowing that he's spending a fortune trying to find you again.
Imagine being
a man, auctioned off to a woman who hadn't meant to win you at all.
A woman too beautiful for words who has an ache in her heart that threatens
to melt yours. Imagine being the center of every fantasy–the fantasies
that dreams are made of.
I
hope this will be a book that finds its way into a woman's nightstand
drawer; its pages soft from use as the stories are read over and
over. These fantasy men are willing and available to any woman
who wants to get to know them, if only on paper.

Deciding to become a full time RVer to evade the man who will surely

travels the country familiarizing herself with her new home, the campgrounds

During Carrie’s travels she meets Daniel and Angelina, a father

Worth Any
Price
There’s a serial killer in Wilmington and
he calls himself The Voyeur. He forces women to do unspeakable, deviant
acts that must be videotaped
so he can watch. His lewd demands are the ransom he requires for the
safe return of their kidnapped children.
When The Voyeur takes a child, he leaves a list of things
the mother must do to have her child safely returned. If the instructions
are not
followed, the
child will die—he has proven that.
Laura, a gently-bred southern socialite, must approach a stranger in a bar,
lead him to a motel room and have sex with him knowing there’s a camera
concealed in the television recording everything.
Paige, a devout Christian, must service a man she’s just met while
a webcam focuses on them. The man she arranges to meet is her pastor.
Meggie, a dedicated operating room nurse, has to be caught flagrante delicto
by her extremely jealous ex-husband. The man she has to be discovered with is
his best friend and tennis partner, the new resident surgeon at her hospital.
The women The Voyeur targets are single mothers devoted to their children, with
nowhere to turn when they discover that their child is missing and that he has
them. Three single men, in either the right place or the wrong place, are alerted
to their plight and come to their rescue. By doing so, their lives are altered
forever. Kel, Caison and Rand, strong men of good character, get much more than
they bargained for when they step in to help three desperate women.
This is a novel focusing on the deviant mind of a sexual predator as well
as on the romance of three couples dealing with the most unusual circumstances
of their meeting. The man who comes to Laura’s rescue is Kel Vain, a tormented
detective who is trying frantically to catch the kidnapper terrorizing his community.
He is obsessed with capturing the vile monster who holds the power of love in
his hands. For it is well known that this evil man won’t hesitate to kill
the child of a woman who won’t do his bidding. And Detective Vain knows
he can’t bear the sight of another young body being pulled from the
river.
The following is on the back cover of "Worth Any Price."
There’s a serial killer in Wilmington. He calls himself The Voyeur. He
forces women to do unspeakable things while he watches. His lewd demands are
the ransom he requires for the safe return of their kidnapped children. Detective
Kel Vain comes to Laura Wyndham’s rescue when her daughter is snatched.
He becomes the stranger this single mom must proposition and be videotaped
with. It is a sexual episode unlike anything either could ever have imagined.
As Kel
spends his days trying to capture the demented killer, his nights are tortured
by thoughts of the proper society woman that he made the most incredible
love to.
This was a challenging book to write. I wanted to convey the fear these
women felt in an almost hopeless situation, their obvious hesitation to
do the
kidnapper’s
bidding, yet their steely determination to do whatever it took to get their
children back. The men, while not quite so traumatized, have their own
emotions to deal
with as they first take charge and fulfill the ransom demands, then strive
to protect the women they are coming to think of as theirs.
