WORKING TITLE…PIRATE

Three hundred years ago a pirate fell in love with a beautiful lady as he watched her gather wildflowers along the banks of the channel where he was moored. Gifting her with all he had, his everlasting love and the map to his treasure, he left her only to be arrested and hung for piracy.

Passed down through the generations, Anne Montgomery, namesake of the beautiful lady of so long ago, now has possession of the map, but unfortunately it has no key. Unbeknownst to Anne, the pirate had dispatched his second mate to his family in Virginia with the map’s key the very same night he gifted her ancestor The Lady Anne with the map.

When the pirate’s descendant and namesake, Stede Thurston walks into Anne’s life, he sets her on fire with his feverish kisses and searing touch. Using her map and his key, together they set out to discover the secret of the treasure and the desire to love they each have kept hidden.

SEDUCED BY SHADOWS

How far would you go to please your man? An accidental voyeur, Devon Cunningham is faced with that very question. Hoplessly drawn to the lustful cravings of her mysterious new neighbor, she secrets herself behind the diaphanous draperies of her door and watches him, unveiling her own amorous desires and hurling her straight into his arms.

With the death of her investigative journalist Aunt Kate, who raised her, Devon suddenly finds herself walking a tight rope between life and death, inexplicably plunged into Kate’s final story. Now after two attempts on her life and the threat of kidnapping, she is driven further into his arms and into his deviant world of erotic pleasures.

Telling herself she can’t measure up to the all consuming sexual desires of such a man, Devon has no intention of becoming involved with him. With a thick mane of raven locks, small and atheletic, she is completely unaware of the raw sensuality that simmers just beneath the surface.

Driven by lust and revenge, the enigmatic Archer Bennett is cold and calculating in business and with women. Now he has finally met Devon and her innocence gives him pause. Having observed her for years, he finds all his assumptions have been dead wrong. But no matter what the cost, he will have his revenge and sate his lust for her as well.

Is she just a pawn satisfying his sexual fantasies or is she really the key to unlocking something far more sinister–billions of dollars in terrorist money? Mirror images, how will they find their way out of the looking glass and to each other?
