Description (Back Cover Copy)
He's her first chance at love.
She's his last.
Free spirit Aphra Porter never thought Isaac Lightfoot would
remember the letter she wrote to him years before. But by some miracle,
he does. Now a successful Web site designer in her thirties, Aphra
meets the man whose writing talents she's always idolized -- an
encounter that leaves her spinning. No longer is Isaac a distant image,
but a flesh and blood man who looks at her like no one has looked at
her before.
A critically acclaimed author and Vietnam war hero, Isaac is one tough bear of a man. Faced with the physical and emotional scars of war, a relationship with a daunting age difference, and an ex-wife bent on tearing Aphra from his life, he's about to learn that leaving the past behind and building a new life can be the toughest battle of all.
Excerpt
He bent down, his bearded visage supplanting the face of the
moon. From horizon to horizon, everything was Isaac. He nudged Aphra's
chin upward, and his lips brushed hers. Who moved away, she or Isaac?
It didn't matter, though, because their lips reconnected in an instant,
and this time, neither of them moved away. She dropped her mail and her
keys. They kissed cautiously, their fingertips barely touching, afraid
of what they might unleash. Perhaps they had plenty of reason to be
afraid: Aphra was trembling, and her blood surged with tsunamic force.
When, following an interlude of timelessness, Isaac drew away from
Aphra's parted lips and feathered kisses on their corners, on her
forehead, and on her cheeks, she knew that she was lost, that there was
no resolve, that there was no control.
There was only feeling. There was only Isaac.
From horizon to horizon.
Heaven, Elysium, Mount Olympus help her.
