Matters of the Heart: Hope Dunne has carved out a name for herself
as a top photographer, known the joys of marriage and motherhood
and the heartbreak of loss. In her chic SoHo loft, Hope is content
with her life, finding serenity and beauty through the lens of her
camera. She isn't looking for a man or excitement. But these things
find her when she accepts a last-minute assignment to fly to London
at Christmas and photograph one of the world's most celebrated
writers ? an Irish-American author known for novels of thrilling
literary darkness. To Hope's surprise, Finn O?Neill exudes warmth
and a boyish charm. Enormously successful, he is a perfect
counterpoint to Hope's quiet, steady grace ? and he's taken
instantly by her. He courts her as no one ever has before, whisking
her away to his palatial, isolated Irish estate. Hope finds it all,
and him, irresistible. But soon cracks begin to appear in his
stories: gaps in his history, lies and bouts of jealousy unnerve
her. Suddenly Hope is both in love and suspicious, caring and
deeply in doubt, and ultimately frightened of the man she loves.
Alone, thousands of miles from home, her mind is reeling. Is it
possible that this adoring, attentive man ? like the characters in
his novels ? is hiding something even worse? The spell cast by a
brilliant sociopath has her trapped in his web, too confused and
dazzled to escape, as he continues to tighten his grip on her.
Southern Lights: Eleven years have passed since Alexa Hamilton left
the South behind, fleeing the pain of her ex-husband's betrayal and
the cruelty of his prominent Charleston family. Now an assistant
D.A. in Manhattan, Alexa has made a name for herself as a top
prosecutor while juggling her role as devoted single mom to a
teenage daughter. But everything changes when Alexa is handed her
latest case: the trial of accused serial killer Luke Quentin. Alexa
prepares for a high-stakes trial . . . until threatening letters
are addressed to her beautiful seventeen-year-old daughter,
Savannah. Alexa is certain that Quentin is behind the letters ? and
that they are too dangerous to ignore. Suddenly she must make the
toughest choice of all ? and send her daughter back to the very
place she swore she would never return to: the place where her
marriage ended in heartbreak . . . her ex-husband's world of
southern tradition, memories of betrayal, and the antebellum charm
of Charleston. Now, while Alexa's trial builds to a climax in New
York, her daughter is settling into southern life, discovering a
part of her family history and a father she barely knows. As
secrets are exposed and old wounds are healed, Alexa and Savannah,
after a season in different worlds, will come together again ?
strengthened by the challenges they have faced, and with Savannah
now at home in the southern world her mother fled. A novel that
will catch you off guard at every turn, Southern Lights is Danielle
Steel at her electrifying best.
