Two Hollywood mega-stars compete for the love of a starlet, unwittingly forming a tumultuous friendship in the face of their molten rivalry.
On screen and off, silver screen heroes Dane Pierce and Cory "Mac" MacKendall are as different as cognac and Perrier, and newcomer Jessica Taylor loves them both. Despite his tantalizing green eyes and raw sexuality, Dane is not the man she thinks she needs. It is the solid and devoted--if somewhat hot-headed--Mac who wins her hand and her heart, and who must endure a lifelong challenge to keep that heart safe from Dane's unending pursuit.
From Hollywood soundstage to the Grenadine Islands, StarCrossed Hearts makes a journey around the world and through the lives of some very real characters you will not soon forget.
(Followed up by A Hero's Promise by Anne Carter)
Excerpt
"This divorce is killing me. I keep asking myself, is what I've done so wrong?" He leaned forward, looking down at the floor. He was such a picture of despair that Jessica could not help but delicately place her hand on his shoulder in a sympathetic gesture.
Dane turned slightly and stared at her for a long moment. A sublime moment, thought Jessica. There was an overwhelming, heated madness spreading throughout her, born of her simple contact with his body. Dane exuded a maleness like no man she'd encountered, filling her at once with both desire and trepidation. Jessica sat captured by his gaze, the emerald eyes stripping away layer after layer of her carefully built defenses--seeking her vulnerabilities, her sensitivities.
Slowly he turned and took both of her hands in his, pulling them around his neck, then slid his hands down her arms and around her in one smooth movement. She barely had time to moisten her lips before his were on her, exploring her cheek, her ear, her neck, her mouth--but slow. Slow, and hot, and sensual. Any shyness she had anticipated on her own part evaporated and she returned each kiss with fervor. Abruptly, he stopped and again stared into her face.
Nobleman's son, Todd Ramble, returns home after years abroad and finds himself falling in love with his step-sister, who was now a grown woman. Unfortunately their love is brutally challenged by his tyrannical father.
In the predawn hours during a solitary ride on her ranch, Montana Freeborn collides with Seth Phoenix, centaur-turned-man and the embodiment of her psychic visions.
