| Lissa Henderson is saying goodbye to her inhibitions. With only the
road for company, she embarks on an adventurous journey meant to show
her whether she's more than just the product of her strict,
traditional upbringing. Stranded by the side of the road after her car
dies very early in her excursion, she knows she needs help, and asks
it of the only man in a nearby diner. A man who, as it happens, is the
perfect test subject for Lissa's newly found freedom.
Lissa isn't the only one running from her past. Steve Mitchell has been through a devastating divorce after finding his wife in the arms of another man. Now, haunted by that mermory and deep-seeded pain that refuses to dissapate, Steve has taken his life savings and embarked upon a journey of his own. When he meets Lissa, they agree that some uninhibited, wild sex is just what they both need. But life has a way of throwing detours in even the straightest of roads... Wild sexual encounters abound in this sizzling tale of lust, passion, and finding the one thing you need most just when you've stopped looking. Lissa and Steve are well-drawn, endearing characters who need each other more with each passing moment. Though they try to fight their obvious growing feelings, their relationship develops slowly and believably. Filled with luscious encounters that will leave you breathless, DETOUR is not your traditional romance novel. It is, however, the ultimate in contemporary erotic romance. Fans of Mr. Carpenter and Ms. Kelly's novels will not be dissappointed with this emotional, steamy story about the way true love always wins out in the end... even when you fight it every step of the way.
