About this ebook

Three stunningly sensual tales from the acclaimed bestselling author of Mr. Perfect and Open Season

With her exhilarating mix of "hot sex, emotional impact, and gripping tension" (Publishers Weekly), Linda Howard has crafted some of today's most exciting contemporary action. Feel the thrill of unexpected passion between strangers in the night...in a seductive story collection that showcases Linda Howard at her page-turning best.

Lake of Dreams

Thea Marlow had encountered her soul mate in the depths of her overpowering, frightening dreams. Now, on the shores of a country lake, the stranger comes to her in the ?esh -- and lures her into a timeless love.

Blue Moon

Sheriff Jackson Brody knows folks get a little crazy under a full bayou moon. But on the trail of a scorching murder mystery, it's the lawman himself who succumbs to the spell of a beautiful, mysterious stranger.

White Out

In the midst of an Idaho blizzard, Hope Bradshaw offers shelter to a stranger -- and an instant, hungry passion ?ares between them. When a radio bulletin warns of a dangerous escaped convict, her blood runs cold: has desire blinded her to the risks of trusting a man who is an expert at covering his tracks?

    11/10- I decided to do a re-read after finishing some of LH's older books last month. I love how Howard can pack so much emotion into such a short story. Excellent collection. As I said before, Whiteout is my favorite of the 3, but the other two are just as well written.

    2/09- I heart LH. This collection of shorts is wonderful, with Whiteout being my favorite.

    Okay, I love Linda Howard but lately she's been hit or miss for me. However this anthology, with 3 short stories, has one of my all time favorite pieces of hers - Lake of Dreams. It's sensual, seductive and just wonderful. The other pieces are good, Blue Moon has a sheriff falling in love with a psychic and White Out has the most preposterous meeting b/n hero and heroine I've ever seen, and yet, within the constraints of the genre, it works and I enjoy it. So these are short stories by a master. If only others could write as well... A definite keeper and a frequent reread.

    This book is a collection of near- impossible romances which the reader can’t help but root for. Everything in here, though improbable, is beautiful to fantasise about. I love Linda Howard’s romances and I always come running when there’s one available. Great job!

    A Nice, short read. Rushed ending though...highly improbable scenario.
