Set in the world of fine art and led by three generations of strong women, "The Art Lover" tells the story of three couples and how they each finally find love. Foremost to this tale is the childhood attachment, adolescent estrangement, and adult reconciliation between artistically-gifted Kate Germaine and her mother, Joanne. But it is also about the passion that museum director Phillip Gambrell and art teacher Janovar Savocek come to share, and the arduous and ultimately triumphant courtship of the art collector Countess Elena D'Allessandro Ricci by her confidential agent, Eduard LaValle. From the home of a portrait painter and his wife to the galleries of a great museum, and from the classroom of a brutally brilliant art teacher to the isolated retreat of Riablo, the legendary modern artist, the love of art and the art of love beautifully merge in this epic tale of discovery.

At the dawn of the tumultuous 1960s, Toby Masters is a girl-crazy, athletic young boy growing up too fast. Fate-or something more divine-brings him to Laura DuVall in a Southern California grade school classroom. Too young to understand the full implications of their meeting, they are unaware of how completely their lives will change.

Growing up together through adolescence and young adulthood, and living the wild crazes of the times, the nascent lovers brave years filled with longing, adventure, ecstasy, and anguish in an endless struggle to defeat the tremendous forces trying to tear them apart. Yearning for a place away from the world's judgment of their relationship, Toby and Laura discover a hidden forest haven they name Promise Point, where they exchange vows of eternal devotion.

Now in college, the two are finally on their own and heading toward a fabulous future. But their dreams are suddenly shattered by events they could never have imagined. But "Promise Point" holds the key that can save their love. Will Laura realize it in time?

Nineteen-year-old Sarah Lock is on a desperate run for safety. As she sits behind the wheel of a stolen truck and speeds away from Dallas, Texas, she knows the battle is not over. Emotionally devastated, Sarah watches helplessly as her dream of finding someone to love her despite her shame-despite the wounds of a humiliating stigma thrust upon her as a child-shatters before her eyes.

Sarah, in possession of many secrets, boards a bus and heads back toward Dallas, knowing that her personal safety is dictated by every decision. Knowing an abusive husband will soon be looking for her-and his truck-Sarah finds her way to her Aunt Gina's home, where she vainly begins to search for her purpose in the world. But as her past continues to haunt her, Sarah vows to never let romantic love enter her life again. Seeking solace and peace through the healing grace of nature, she dances in a lush meadow beside her hideaway, unaware that a young man is watching her, patiently waiting for the opportunity to change her perspective on everything.

In this poignant tale, a young woman takes a journey that leads her to the brink of surrender as fate deals another blow and sends her on a mission no one ever expected.

This: this is about us. Always. An opportunity. A gift. A chance to come together again. And you want it as much as I do. "Thank you for unhinging my sanity, threatening the stability of my life, with one text. Because that's how it begins, one text, one message. "I'm coming to town. Would like to see you." And I think, why not? Old friend. Oldest of friends. Favourite of ex-lovers. Married now, as am I. Both anchored in lives full of obligation, responsibility to others. Safe. What's the harm? We're neither one of us stupid enough to risk our marriages, our families, our real lives. Are we?" As Jane "sexts" her lover and attempts to figure out how this aspect of herself fits into the obligations of marriage and motherhood, other relationships around her strain, fracture, and collapse. Her best friend is recklessly pursuing a series of cyber-affairs, while another friend attempts an open, polyamorous marriage. Her next-door neighbour is planning a wedding with her on-again/off-again lover-but will it really happen? Meanwhile her lawyer-husband is exchanging a lot of texts with an adoring young associate. Does Jane care? Or is she too engulfed in her own sanity-straining cyber affair to really notice?

El corazon desbocado en el pecho, dentro de su cabeza algo exploto, las manos llenas de sudor frio, -extrema palidez-. Sobre la plancha de cemento se encontraban los restos descuartizados de Mando. Quedito reia, quedito lloraba, se mesaba el cabello con las dos manos y sus piernas temblorosas se iban doblando hasta quedar arrodillada en el piso limpio banado con las lagrimas. La risita se transformo en carcajada, en un grito desgarrador, era una despedida, un adios al mundo cuerdo. Las lagrimas corren rapido por las mejillas y ella corre rapido por las calles. Gritando y maldiciendo. La gente le grita, los ninos le gritan: Rosa la loca Rosa la loca...

Demarcus: His quick wit could land him an advertising position anywhere, but eluded him the moment his nostrils caught the scent of lust. Will he straighten out his life or throw it all away? Charles: A damn fool when it comes to women. His motto was every woman was B**** needing to be blessed with his presence and escorted afterwards, to the door by his pitbull Mocha. Will he meet his match? Rhonda: A beautiful woman with more passion than she knows what to do with it. Always itching to be scratched. How will she find her relief? Sonya: A woman that's better left alone. She don't mind going to war for a cause... her cause. Piss her off and you'll end up losing everything you got. Who can tame her wildness?
