Fated Mates - Softcover

A Fine Work of Art By Shelby Reed At thirty-six, university art professor Elizabeth Gilstrom finds herself facing a bleak, lonely future when her husband leaves her for his young medical assistant. After giving up her own career as an artist a decade before, Elizabeth has nothing to show for their ten-year marriage...only the faded memory of a paintbrush's weight in her hand, an empty bed, and an empty heart. She's still reeling from shock and devastation when graduate student Boone McCrea walks into her office...and into her bed. Boone might only be twenty-four, but he is, quite simply, one of the most attractive men Elizabeth has ever seen, a work of art that stirs wild sensations she has long repressed. Zeke's Hands By Madison Hayes Thirty-something Sara fights her attraction to younger co-worker Zeke Rutherford, but she has a case of lust that just won't go away - no matter how desperately she struggles to ignore it. Zeke may be too young...too tall...too everything, but her traitorous sex drive couldn't care less. Zeke has the distinct impression Sara Walker has no idea exactly how hot she is. She may try to treat him like a kid, but he figures that won't last long after she gets a taste of him. Sara Walker is going down, he's decided. On him. Intent on conquest, at first Zeke overlooks Sara's reckless behavior. But when he's hanging from a crane in the middle of an electrical storm, he begins to learn the troubling truth about Sara. The woman is reckless to the point of no return. And when Schueller Engineering is offered a project in bomb-torn Iraq, guess who's the first to volunteer? Zeke races against time to discover the cause of Sara's irresponsible disregard for danger, before she takes it too far and he loses her for good. He's determined to work his way into this woman's life and prove to her that her heart is safe...in Zeke's hands.
