Julia Devaux adora sua vida sofisticada na cidade grande. E como não gostaria? Tem um fabuloso trabalho no mundo editorial, alguns amigos maravilhosos, um apartamento de arrasar e a companhia de seu precioso embora temperamental gato siamês Federico Fellini; não poderia ser melhor! Até que de repente, Julia tem a infelicidade de presenciar o assassinato de um membro da máfia, destroçando assim sua vida completamente. O Programa de Amparo às Testemunhas desloca Julia para morar no fim do mundo; a milhares de quilômetros de distância da livraria mais próxima, onde a única comida rápida são os cervos e a única distração é fazer um sexo rápido com um fazendeiro local que não gosta de falar muito. Por sorte, o que melhor sabe fazer Sam Cooper não é precisamente falar… O ex SEAL Sam Cooper não acreditou na sorte que teve quando a misteriosa Sally Anderson chegou a sua cidade. Em Simpson, Idaho, não há onde beber uma xícara de café decente e muito menos professoras de primário de tirar o fôlego. No momento em que Cooper conhece Sally, apropria-se dela como se fora dele. De fato ele não é muito bom falando, mas faz o que pode para mantê-la satisfeita. Quando descobre que sua vida está em perigo, nada o deterá para mantê-la a salvo e junto a ele. =============== / ============== / ============== ( IN ENGLISH ) What's a girl to do?

Lisa Marie Rice
Lisa Marie Rice is eternally 30 years old and will never age. She is tall and willowy and beautiful. Men drop at her feet like ripe pears. She has won every major book prize in the world. She is a black belt with advanced degrees in archaeology, nuclear physics, and Tibetan literature. She is a concert pianist. Did I mention her Nobel Prize? Of course, Lisa Marie Rice is a virtual woman and exists only at the keyboard when writing erotic romance. She disappears when the monitor winks off. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it. Now isn’t that an interesting bio to have? Isn’t that a thousand times better than saying that I’m a middle-aged, er…woman, no longer in the very, very first flush of youth, who basically sits in front of a computer screen all day in her pajamas? I am so lucky to be Lisa Marie Rice! There is no literary genre anywhere remotely as exciting and thrilling as erotic romantic suspense. It has absolutely everything: red-hot passion, danger, adventure, heart-stopping love. I cannot begin to tell you how much I enjoy sitting down to the keyboard and bleeding…er, writing my heart out, falling in love with my men over and over and over again. Well, why not? My men are brave and smart and built. And boy do they love their women! Their women are much more interesting than new weaponry, sports cars, and even plasma TVs in their eyes, and the fascination will last their entire lifetimes, I promise. It’s sex, of course, but also a whole lot more. My heroes genuinely like and admire their women, though in the beginning this is sometimes obscured by blinding lust. Once that first sharp edge of desire is over and they settle down a little—and that will take several years and a kid or two—they’re so bonded with their women that they couldn’t live without them. And it is so much fun “being” my heroines while writing about them. You may have noticed that most, if not all, of my heroines are artsy in some way, just like me. It just sort of comes out that way. There’s not much calculation when creating my characters: They literally become alive for me and when my character says—I’m a singer or a designer or I love books—well, that’s that. It’s fabulous sitting here in my not-perfect body and becoming the beautiful young woman that that ornery alpha male is glomming on to. Of course, my heroines are also in dire peril, which is not so much fun. And which is why I’m the writer and not the heroine (give or take a few years and a few pounds). One true fact: Looking out of my study across my wonderful terrace I see a bright blue line which is the Ionian Sea. And if I had a powerful enough telescope I could see the Greek temple where Pythagoras taught.
