Honeysuckle Heat

Honeysuckle Heat is the second novella crafted by a writer of poetry and poetic prose who awakens the senses with vivid imagery by weaving together the beauty and mystery of nature, the seemingly simplistic choices of daily living, and the complexities of a passionate yet incompatible relationship between a man and woman. Matthew Oliver, a doting lover and former police officer turned crime writer and Jaqueline Fortin, a career-focused prominent Los Angeles anchorwoman, have all the ingredients for a delicious partnership - steamy sex, attractive looks, successful careers, individual charm and charisma, a ten-year history, and yet, their relationship is lacking something... time will reveal if the "something" is a forgivable omission or if their union lacks the soul needed to go the distance. Will their future together evolve beyond their status quo or will their strong personalities splinter from the established bonds that have kept them together? Read this sensory rich prose to discover the destiny of these dynamic characters and prepare to meet other memorable personalities along the way. Set in the American South during the heat of summer with the final chapter unfolding during the winter season in New York City, Honeysuckle Heat is the perfect companion for an afternoon at the beach or to warm up a chilly evening. Whatever your scene, you'll reach the end of this carefully crafted story rewarded by the reading experience, and perhaps like the characters, you too will be changed in some way, by following their journey toward authentic living.
