Four scorching novels of obsession, adultery, lust and manipulation, where desire overwhelms reason, passion turns dangerous, and the people caught in its grip are driven toward violence, betrayal and madness.
BEYOND DESIRE by Richard Himmel
Peter has never known a woman like Clarissa. In her arms, he discovers passion so powerful that it becomes an addiction. Soon he is obsessed with her warmth, her willingness and the hold she has over him. What begins as desire spirals into something far darker, until Peter is ready to destroy both of them rather than lose her.
GIRL IN THE MIDDLE by John B. Thompson
The more she drinks, the more she needs sex. The more sex she has, the more she needs to drink. Desperate for help, a troubled young woman turns to doctors who should be saving her. Instead, their treatment draws her into a dangerous world of desire, manipulation and psychological control, forcing her into a fight for her sanity.
SO FAIR, SO EVIL by Paul Connolly
Frank Sinclair returns from the Korean War haunted by the death of his wife, Dolly, and convinced that her supposed suicide was murder. His search for the truth takes him back into the wealthy Southern family that never accepted him, where adultery, lust, greed and old resentments have been festering beneath the surface. The deeper Frank digs, the more dangerous the buried secrets become.
HOT BLOOD by John B. Thompson
By day, Kenton is a sleepy Louisiana town. By night, it burns with forbidden passions, jealousy and violence. At the center is Karen Snowden, a young woman every man seems to want. When desire erupts into brutality, the town is left asking whether Karen invited the danger—or became the innocent victim of violent lust.
