After her erotic romance novels become international bestsellers, writer Gillian Tate cannot enjoy her long-sought success once her husband files for divorce and she becomes the target of threats from a religious fringe hate group; but when she tries to find peace in the solitude of a remote lakeside cabin to complete the third novel in the trilogy, not only does she meet the man who can fulfill her secret desires, she also finds she hasn’t escaped danger by leaving the city. 

When the Adirondack town's police chief Sam Taylor learns of the threats and checks in on the notorious author, he is surprised to find she is nothing like he would have expected from her erotic novels but everything he has imagined in his own fantasies. 

Can he and the woman of his dreams escape her waking nightmare? 

*Adult Content: This erotic romantic suspense includes scenes of bondage between consenting adults.*





I truly loved this book.  I liked that it was about an author of an erotic romance series.  The author P.G. Tate or her real name Gillian was a romance writer and couldn’t really get any of her books to sell.  A fellow author of hers told her she should write MMMF.  Well she just couldn’t go from writing regular romance to orgies so she comprised with MMF.  The first book sold so well that she was signed to write a trilogy.  Her second book was MM and also sold very well.  But, as well all know no one can have everything.  She finally gets what she has always wanted in her career.  In doing that though she lost her husband.  He wanted a divorce because he was being asked all kinds of questions do to her books about the personal sexual life.  He works at a religious school and felt he couldn’t keep working there and be married to her.  It didn’t hurt that he had someone else waiting for him either.  Now Gillian is receiving all kinds of religious hate mail about her books.  She just thinks that are kooks and not really a threat.  A friend has been offering her a cabin in the woods where she can go and relax while she writes the third book in the trilogy.  She finally takes him up on his offer.  This is when things start to pick up with the hate mail/threats.  Her agent’s house in broken into and she calls the police.  When they come she tells them about the threat Gillian has be receiving.  They figure out where Gillian is and send the local law to inform her of what has happened.  This is when Gillian meets Sheriff Sam Taylor.  He has no idea who her pen name is or why she is receiving these threats.  There is an instant connection between them.  After talking for a bit she signs one her books for him and tells him he should read it.  He invites her to the festival in town.  This is where things really start to get interesting in the book.  I don’t want to give any spoilers away so I will stop here.

The character Gillian is wonderful she has been through a lot in her life and still is worried about everyone before she is concerned about herself.  She feels that everything that is happening is her fault because she wrote the books that spurned this person to these things.  Sheriff Taylor is what you would expect.  He became a cop to protect.  In was a natural instinct in him.  Now he has found the one person he wants to protect the most.  Gillian doesn’t want to get into anything serious with him.  She just got divorced for the second time in her life and doesn’t think she ever wants to get married again.  But, Sam just brings something out in her.  She figures there is no way they can have a future together even if it weren’t for the threats against her.  Sam is determined to show her different.  This book was wonderful written.  It had some twists and turns I didn’t see coming and surprised me.  I really got invested in the characters.  I will definitely be looking for other books from this author.
