Love, Romance and More

Fashion model, Tia St. Claire was every man's dream. But she did not want to have anything to do with men. A few acquaintances were all she believed that she needed. Tia was asked to model for Camille Davis, owner of CK Davis Designs. Tia loved Camille's designs and was eager to help her, until she found out that she would walk the runway with Trenton Donovan. In Defying Desire, AC Arthur gives readers a very romantic story. Trenton Donovan was the last of the Triple Threat Brothers to be single. Trent was a former navy SEAL. He loved his job and still accepted special assignments. When he was asked to model in Camille's fashion show, he thought it would be fun. After meeting Tia, Trent realized that there was another type of danger he wanted to explore and he was not about to let her slip through his hands. Arthur brought together two unlikely people who could not deny their attraction. Tia struggled to accept Trent, first as her friend and lover while Trent showed that he was more than his career. I enjoyed this installment of the Donovan brothers. Priscilla C. Johnson APOOO BookClub

Healing Hearts...

The last of the "Triple Threat" Donovan brothers is back and falling HARD. Mrs. Arthur weaves a HIGHLY emotional-charged tale with a HEARTWARMING ending. The DESIRE between Trent and Tia is SIZZLIN'! And the intrigue and suspense surrounding their budding relationship keeps you turning the pages until the very end. The cast of characters, main and secondary is quite colorful and MEMORABLE. I am DEFINITELY looking forward to reading more stories about the Donovan clan and their circle of family and friends.
