Ο πειρασμός της Τζέινι
Όταν ο Ντίλον Ριντ μπαίνει στο μαγαζί της Τζέινι Μέιφιλντ, είναι σαν ν` ανοίγει μια απαγορευμένη πόρτα, απ` όπου το παρελθόν εισβάλλει ξανά στη ζωή της...
Το σκάνδαλο που τη συνδέει με τον Ντίλον κατέστρεψε πριν από τρία χρόνια δύο γάμους κι ανάγκασε την Τζέινι να καταφύγει στο Κολοράντο. Τώρα, έχοντας μόλις επιστρέψει στη Νότια Καρολίνα, είναι αποφασισμένη να κάνει το μαγαζί που κληρονόμησε μια επιτυχημένη επιχείρηση και να κρατήσει τη ζωή της υπό έλεγχο. Αλλά δίνει μια άνιση μάχη, με μια κόρη που περνά δύσκολη εφηβεία, ένα σωρό αναπάντεχα προβλήματα στη δουλειά της κι έναν πρώην σύζυγο που τη μισεί...
Η Τζέινι θα κάνει τα πάντα για ν` αγνοήσει την έλξη που νιώθει για τον Ντίλον. Θα κάνει τα πάντα για να αρνηθεί αυτό που υπόσχεται η φλογερή ματιά του: ένα πάθος χωρίς όρια, που μόνο προβλήματα μπορεί να της δημιουργήσει αυτή τη στιγμή. Μα ανακαλύπτει σύντομα πως όσο προσπαθεί να αποφύγει τον πειρασμό, τόσο πιο επίμονα εκείνος βρίσκεται μπροστά της...

About the author
Mary Lynn Baxter
149 books32 followersMary Lynn Baxter was born on 28 July 1943 in Lufkin, Texas, USA, where she bred, home of the cowboy - hero of the Western romance, which is one of the most popular of the category's sub-genres. She would be the first to say that it's her background that gives her a unique feel for romance writing.
Since she was a young girl, books and reading have been an important part of her life. Only after she read all the "goodies" in her public library did her mother encourage her to buy Harlequin romances, then 35 cents each. Wow! Those reading years laid the background for her decision to major in Library Science at the University of North Texas in Denton, Texas, and become a school librarian.
After eight years of working in various school systems, she felt a need to do something different. What she wanted was to open a bookstore. With the help of her husband, Leonard, and her mother, Mary Lynn did just that. For over 20 years she sold books, and loved every minute of it. Then Mary Lynn decided she needed a new challenge. Following an intense amount of pushing and prodding from her husband she took the plunge and tried her hand at writing.
After months of agonising and chewing her nails, she finally mailed All our Tomorrows to Silhouette books in February 1981. One year later it was published as a Silhouette Special Edition. Now, over 40 books later, she's still writing. Mary Lynn can't think of anything else she'd rather do with her time and energy. She surfaces from her writing, she's a voracious reader. But this petite dynamo is always happy to tumble out of her world of fiction into her local fitness center for a bracing workout. She's also dedicated to her volunteer work... and still manages to fit in plenty of quality time with her family at their home in Lufkin, Texas.

Credo di aver perso 18 neuroni, uno per ogni pagina che ho letto. È stato il capitolo più noioso, piatto e deludente che abbia mai letto in questo mese. Evidentemente Mary Lynn e io non abbiamo niente da raccontarci.
