They'd been close for years, but suddenly Madeline hungered for John in a new way. When they finally touched, passion set their souls on fire… but their friendship turned to ashes. Now Madeline feared she was no more than a mistress to him. And John was tormented by desire for—and doubts about—Madeline's love. Yes, Madeline loved John. But would love sustain her as they made the sensual journey from friends to lovers?

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

I was born in south Georgia(USA), graduated from high school in Atlanta, married my husband, James, in Habersham County, and graduated from Piedmont College(Demorest, GA) summa cum laude in history with minors in anthropology and Spanish in 1995.

I worked for over 16 years as a newspaper reporter on both weekly and daily papers. In between reporting jobs, I had a son, Blayne, my greatest creative achievement. I love iguanas and most other animals, and am the biggest geek on earth. If it's electronic, and non-lethal, I probably have one. I was always the kid who was out of step with the rest of the world, and I still am. My father was a college professor, so my sister and I grew up not quite understanding what prejudice was.

I traveled a lot when I was more mobile than I am now, and I never met a person I didn't like. Writing books is more than a job to me, it's my life, next to being a wife, mother and grandmother. I am a person of faith, but I respect all religions and all cultures.

I write romantic suspense for HQN books, mass market and series contemporary romance for Harlequin, and science fiction novels for Luna Books. In my spare time, I sleep. :)

    After reading one of DIana Palmers newer releases there was references to the hero and heroine of The Durango's. I remembered them from some years back, but could not recall the title. I spent several hours researching on line and finally found Friends and Lovers. I do so love to revisit old friends and this visit did not disappoint!

    I loved this book, having longtime friends fall for each other is always a winner. My only gripe on this one is Diana bailed on their first night together. She gets the night started and they're headed for bed then fast forward to the next morning. I felt cheated in that one way. Otherwise I loved the book, it had some laughs, it's a favorite of mine.

    These two light up the pages with their banter and sniping, neither one will give an inch or admit that they love one another. I read this in one evening as I couldn't resist turning page after page to find out who was going to do what next. I've already got the next book ready to go -- just can't resist your stories!!
