(Mass Market Paperback)
Deborah Stark is a newscaster with ambition to spare and a take-no-prisoners attitude when it comes to love. Her latest whirlwind affair with the darkly sexy Marcus ends with D. never expecting to see him again. Then her mother dies right before Thanksgiving and Marcus shows up on the doorstep of D.’s childhood home in New Jersey--and the ice around her heart cracks a little.
But for D., work comes first. She’s deep into a story about corruption throughout the highest levels of the company that owns her Philadelphia television station, and not even the hint of true love can distract her.
Marcus has secrets--about the mysterious Foundation he works for, about his ability to shape-shift--secrets D. isn’t ready to hear. But when D. realizes that Marcus is too aware of what she’s investigating to be an innocent bystander, she knows she must accept his truths. For only with Marcus’s help will D. survive long enough to expose corruption . . . and claim love.

December 26, 2005: Deborah Stark 'D.' is a newscaster with high ambitions. Right now she is investigating corruption within the company that owns her television station. When the story is finished, D. will prove that the corruption is not minor at all. The rot runs throughout the top positions. Of course, this puts D.'s life in danger. ......................... D. never expected to see Marcus Bocelli again. But when her mother dies near Thanksgiving, Marcus shows up. D. thinks he is a bit odd with his talk of dimensions and such, but she is still very attracted to him. When he begins talking about the mysterious Foundation he works for and about being able to shape-shift, she has second thoughts again. She soon finds out that there really is no time for rethinking any situation, because only Marcus's special help can keep her alive until her story is finished and released to the public! .......................... ***** I have always thought Constance O'day-Flannery was a fantastic writer. This story simply proves it. I had to keep reminding myself that this story is a piece of fiction. But the author makes the characters come alive and gives enough depth to make it all believable. Extremely, highly recommended! *****

November 11, 2005: I enjoyed the novel, although I enjoyed Shifting Love a lot more. The main characters had lots of chemistry but they would inevitably get into New Age discussions that dragged on and on and were pushed on the reader. I also enjoy New Age books but I bought this book because I wanted to read a ROMANCE novel. Also, there were many loose ends at the end, many unanswered questions and unresolved issues.
