Lover Unknown

by Shawna Delacorte

He came to her in the night...

Lauren Jamison sensed danger and secrets when Kyle Delaney entered her waterfront store. Not for a moment did she believe the dark stranger was an ordinary man. Instinctively she knew he lived on the edge, belonged to a world of deception. But unable to resist him, she became a prisoner of passion.

Then one stormy night her world shattered when she found his body in the moonlight - shot and delirious from pain. Before he collapsed, he told her to follow his instructions or they;d both wind up dead. Just who was Kyle Delaney? And should Lauren risk her heart - and her life - for a man who might be on the wrong side of the law?

About the author

Shawna Delacorte has lived most of her life in Los Angeles, California. Even though she earned her living for many years by working in television production, she's always been interested in writing. However, writing novels was the furthest thing from her mind when she made her first serious attempt at putting fingers to keyboard with the hope of creating something that would catch an editor's attention. She combined her interest in writing with her longtime avocation of photography and began doing magazine articles.

In 1991 Silhouette books purchased Sarah and the Stranger, her first published novel, for their Desire line with a release date of August, 1992. She was honored with the Waldenbooks award for Bestselling Series Romance by a New Author. The award was presented at the Romance Writers of America National Conference in 1993. She has since appeared numerous times on the Waldenbooks Bestseller List and has been included on the USA TODAY Bestseller List.

She has always loved mysteries — novels, movies, plays — and has participated in several interactive murder mystery games, one of them on a train from Chicago to New York. So she naturally expanded her writing to include romantic suspense and straight mysteries.

In November, 1994, she made the career change to write full time. She is temporarily residing in Wichita, Kansas. She still does some photography. She loves to travel and particularly enjoys visiting England as often as possible. In addition to writing full time, she also teaches an eight-week fiction writing class twice a year in the Continuing Adult Education Non Credit classes department at Wichita State University.

Shawna enjoys hearing from her readers and can be reached at 6505 E. Central, Box #300, Wichita, KS 67206, or by email at ShawnaDelacorte@aol.com.

Reviews

[Brittany Perry · Rating 3 out of 5]

It was a fair novel. I think a bit more dialogue would have made it better. Also I think there was too many villains in this one. A few villains are good but too many with too many similar names causes confusion and a headache.

You gotta love the bookshelf at the office...it has some interesting books. This one was entertaining enough...it's kind of fun to read murder mystery books with a little love story in the midsts.
