Posted By: AlTonya Washington on June 22, 2006 Altonya Washington, the Award-Winning Author with BET, Harlequin, Genesis Press and Dafina Books, invites you to add her summer titles to your collection. "In The Midst of Passion” (Romantic Suspense/Dafina Books, August 2006) AND “A Lover’s Pretense” (Sequel to “A Lover’s Dream” Kimani Romance, August 2006) “In The Midst of Passion”…. Battling the demons from his past as a contract killer hasn’t been easy, but Alexander Rice is doing his best to triumph. The tall, honey-toned god with the uncommon turquoise stare focuses his energies on tending his duties as publisher of a prominent Charlotte, NC paper. Still, the memories and remorse from his more brutal days continue to haunt him. Alex fears the ghosts will never give him back his life. Then one evening, he meets Topaz Emerson on a deserted country road and light dawns. Topaz strikes something within the brooding seven foot male. Alex is drawn to her unlike anything or anyone before. Of course he can never entertain a future with the beautiful mechanic. The ghosts have rendered him almost incapable of suppressing his violent tendencies. For Topaz however, Alex is willing to fight. The desire to let go of the anger in his soul begins to overpower his being. But when a force from his past rears its ugly head, Topaz is threatened. The thing Alex has come to love most could be gone in the blink of an eye. Unless…he kills again. “A Lover’s Pretense” The Sequel to “A Lover’s Dream” Quaysar Ramsey led a love life most men could only dream of. Sadly, the women who fell to his feet and into his bed were unfulfilling substitutes for the woman he wanted most of all. Tykira Lowery had fallen in love with the gorgeous outspoken twin when they were only kids. Unfortunately, Quay’s belief that a love affair with the leggy beauty could threaten her life made any chance for a real relationship a hopeless wish. Now, at the request of Quay’s twin Quest, Tykira is back in Seattle. Working so closely, becomes a trying feat in more ways than one. With Sera Black’s murderer still running free and more unsettling facts about her death resurfacing, Quay knew Tykira’s safety had to be his top priority. She was off limits. However, his desire for her would make obeying that order an impossible task. Join in on the second installment of the Ramsey saga which follows Quest and Michaela as they settle into married life and all the changes that life will bring. Discover the man who will intrigue Contessa Warren and, of course, follow Quaysar and Tykira’s intense, roller coaster relationship. We’ll also delve more deeply into the mystery that’s haunted the family for almost 2 decades. Sera Black’s killer will be captured and you will be stunned. Inside Note: This title will also be available for pre-order on www.eharlequin.com Both titles available for pre-order on amazon.com and barnesandnoble.com.
