Charming romance and very passionate...

This is a wonderful first novel by this author and I wish there were another 10 to be read from this author. Laura is a wonderful person who was tragically left alone 5 years earlier when her partner of 10 years, Alexandra, died in an accident. Since than she has had fly by night encounters and has just ended a 3 year relationship. She is doing all she can to protect herself from potential hurt that could result if she falls in love again. Enter Kate who is everything that Laura could love and Kate has a huge attraction for Laura. The novel is short but has surprising depth plus a couple twists and turns. From the back of the book - 'She was aching for Laura, but didn't want to disapoint her. Drawing herself away from Laura's hungry mouth she whispered, "I don't know what to do". Laura pulled the woman tight against her and kissed her slowly and deeply. Then she leaned back and smiled, "Oh, I think you do..". ' At 39 years of age, Laura seemed to have it all -- a beautiful home, her own advertising agency, and a stunningly beautiful lover. And in a business where luscious legs and a dazzling smile can make the difference between winning and losing a new account, Laura won lots of new accounts. But something was missing from her life... Handsome and charming, barhopping Kelly is absolutely irresistible to all women, including herself. Everyone knows that when Kelly sets her sights on someone it is only a matter of time before she gets her way. And she's got her sights set on Laura... A successful commercial artist who does business with Laura's firm, Kate has also done well for her 23 years. She has brains, looks, talent -- and a secret crush on Laura. But Laura has no intention of mixing business with pleasure -- specially not with a "baby-dyke".

Laura can't resist her but is still too afraid to let go of Kelly, whom she thinks of as a safety net. So she tries to juggle the two women with limited success because she is inexorably falling in love with Kate. But can she let go of Alex's memory?
