***********************************************************

Desires, we all have them. Are they awakened by a touch, a word, a glance, or something deeper? Love’s not always easy. Sometimes dark and unkind, but always worth the journey. Opposites may attract, but is there enough common ground to build a life? Someone you thought you knew may end up being more than you imagined. 

When I started writing this series I had no idea how many books would be in it, but they were all connected by one thing—desires, both sexual and emotional. I loved writing each and every one of these books.

 KATIE’S ART OF SEDUCTION Book One in the Awakening Desires series. 

From the moment the woman's portrait in the window of a coffee shop caught Cain Benjamin's attention, he resolved to possess not only it, but her as well. Determined to find the mysterious beauty, he sets out to locate the artist. If he can find the artist, he's sure he can find the woman in the picture. 

Katie Wallace's schedule at Coffee Breaks allows her to earn a living and still have time to pursue her love of painting. When her boss and friend convinces her to display one of her self-portraits in the shop window, she is apprehensive, but elated when it sells—until she meets the portrait owner. 

Katie finds herself captivated by Cain, the tall, mysterious man who lurks in the shadows and is obsessed with her self-portrait. And Cain is even more intrigued by Katie, as he discovers her painting is not nearly as sensual as the woman herself. 

Cain's mesmerizing and commanding personality entices Katie into the shadows with him. But Katie is equally determined to uses all her artistry to seduce him back into the light of day with her.
