His Every Kiss

By Laura Lee Guhrke

   A symphony for a romance lover's soul!

    Dylan Moore, renowned English composer, once heard future melodies in his head, but an accident has changed the music to an incessant ringing. Unable to endure any longer, he goes to the theater where he once conducted and aims a pistol at his chin. Just before he pulls the trigger, he hears the charwoman play his composition on her violin. In her presence, the mental screeching sweetens to beautiful notes, but his muse vanishes before he can learn her name.

     Grace Cheval had ruined her and her family's reputation by eloping with a French painter. Since his death, Grace has struggled to survive. The last thing she needs is another tormented artist who calls her his muse, yet that's exactly what Mr. Moore continues to proclaim when they reunite five years after his suicide attempt. She refuses his proposition to become his mistress, but his offer to become governess to his daughter is too good to pass up.

     Dylan is determined to seduce Grace, but she has resolved to keep their relationship platonic. For how long can she deny her desire when his mere presence makes her heart and body sing? Will she ever lay the memories of her marriage to rest? Can he win her passion without losing his heart? Moreover, is he capable of becoming the man Grace and his daughter deserve?

      Ms. Guhrke answers these questions and more in a beautifully written novel fraught with sexual tension. Well developed characters have crystal clear goals and motivations, and their internal and external conflicts are perfectly natural rather than obviously contrived. Isabel, Dylan's daughter, is a precocious darling. Grace is practical and confident. Dylan is one hot hero. The black moment, when Grace's past come backs to haunt them both, is perfect.
