BOOK IS DUE MAY 2002

Snowbound, and bound by desire
In the midst of a blizzard, Caroline Morrow's coach is waylaid at an inn on the outskirts of a small village. More happy than annoyed at the unexpected stop, she basks in the warmth from a crackling fire, until a voice from the past sends a chill down her spine.......

They'll succumb to temptation
Lord Simon Blair emerges from the shadows...still handsome, still powerful. In a moment, recollections of their sensuous affair scorch the space between them, even though their liaison ended badly-with his infidelity and her flight into marriage. Now divorced and nearly penniless, Caroline cannot hide her dire straits from her former lover- or the thrill that courses through her at the sound of his seductive voice...

Again and Again
An evening spent at cards becomes a night spent in bed, which turns into days of tantalizing bliss. But Caroline must make her escape. Tearing herself from Simon's arms, she finds her way to her new employer and takes up her new position as governess, only to learn that her surrender to Simon has whetted his appetite for more. And the chase is on.....

Again and again, Susan Johnson demonstrates why she is a Queen of Erotic Romance, playing into women’s fantasies by bringing smart, sassy heroines and dangerous alpha heroes to life.

A blizzard forces Caroline Morrow to take shelter in a village inn when she runs into Lord Simon Blair. Caroline and Simon have a history together and seeing him looking as magnetic and handsome as ever send shivers through Caroline. When their affair ended because of his infidelity, she was left with no choice but to marry. Her marriage ended in divorce and she is near destitute—all because of Simon’s actions.

They find amusement in a game of cards that ends in a night of shared passion and endless days of lovemaking. In the end, Caroline fears she make the same mistake twice and flees to her position as a governess. But Simon wants her back and he is a man who gets what he wants.

Susan Johnson uses the “9 1/2 Weeks” fantasy---that a man and a woman locked away together and unleashing their secret longings, but eventually having to part—to her advantage in her latest sexy story. Though this is not a new theme for her, readers will find that once more she seizes onto what they want and doesn’t disappoint. VERY SENSUAL (May, 353 pp., $14.00)—Kathe Robin
