Eternal Triangle [Order of the Black Lily Book 3]

Order of the Black Lily #3

by Alexandra Adams

While traveling to the airport after visiting his close friend Julian, Manuel Gonzalez meets an intriguing divorcee when his vehicle collides with a moose during a near-blizzard. Invited to take shelter from the dangerous storm by Alison Haldane, a self-reliant ranchwoman, Manuel, who for many years has led a brigade of mercenary soldiers, performs a service that his hostess regards as the saving of her life. Drawn to the woman whose courage and forthrightness he deeply admires, Manuel frankly admits that he is a member of the Order of the Black Lily, and explains the special nature of his tastes in sensual pleasure. When his hostess forthrightly apprises him that even though she possesses masochistic tendencies, she nonetheless fears that if he were to inflict too great a degree of pain, so that the agony exceeded the pleasure he conferred, she would suffer emotional damage, Manuel offers her assurances that persuade her to yield to him. The two mature sensualists enter a sexual relationship that soon grows deeply satisfying to both. They soon fall deeply in love, each with the other. Having accepted her lover's invitation to live with him at his headquarters while he and his partner do the work entailed in dismantling their business, Alison meets Manuel's business partner, Hector MacFarlane. Unsure how this slim, sardonic athlete regards her, she grows further disconcerted when Manuel tells her that Hector will oversee a program of exercise for her, during the weeks to come. During the days that follow, Alison grows ever more fascinated by Hector's personality, even as Manuel conducts an abbreviated initiation of a most promising probationer, utilizing the erotic arts practiced bymembers of the Order. Needing both his partner, with whom he has long planned to collaborate on a home-based consulting business once he retires, and his new love, whom he regards as a treasure thrown into his possession by capricious Fate, Manuel devises a daring plan that he swiftly implements, so as to insure that his love for Alison does not fatally complicate his relationship with his friend, business partner and fellow master. A crisis looms, when three associates grow ever more deeply enmeshed in a triangular friendship. Sexual desire flares between Hector and desire that both deeply honorable friends regard as illicit. Well aware of this development, Manuel resolves the seemingly insoluble problem in a most unconventional manner.

About the author

long-time resident of Wyoming, Alexandra Adams loves the sagebrush deserts, the picturesque ranchland and the towering mountain peaks she can see from the windows of her home. Happily married for many years to a man who is friend, soul mate and lover as well as husband, she lives a rather secluded life devoted chiefly, these days, to creating works of romantic fiction.

An admirer of classical erotica, Alexandra Adams most emphatically believes that no social stigma ought to attach to the reading, writing, or publication of well-crafted literary works that celebrate sensual pleasure. Her erotic novels target mature, sophisticated, uninhibited readers who frankly enjoy character-driven narratives featuring explicitly sensual scenes. An author who writes passionately and evocatively of adventurous lovers, she consistently strives to fire the imagination and liberate the sensualist living within each of her readers.

From February of 2000 to November of 2006, Ms. Adams sold downloads of four of her erotic novels from the Web site she owns and operates: http://www.sexynovels.com/. Doubleday’s Venus Book Club published two of those works, offering to the Club’s members hardbound editions of Gabrielle’s Awakening in November of 2001, and Evolution of an Affair in September of 2002. In November of 2006, Double Dragon Publishing, Inc. acquired the digital rights to the four erotic novels she formerly sold from her Web site. The other three novels will be published at DDP in 2007.
