Out of Control

by Janice Macdonald

Suffice it to say, Daisy's childhood had been less than idyllic. It hadn't been easy growing up the daughter of the great Frank Truman--a respected and prolific painter who was not what he'd appeared. Even fifteen years after his death, Daisy is still trying to deal with her mixed feelings, not helped one bit by the arrival of a persistent biographer. Nicholas Wynne wants to write the definitive account of the artist's life, not stir up old ghosts...

fine contemporary romance

English biographer Nicholas Wynne crosses the ocean and the continent to write a book on renowned painter Frank Truman. The writer hoped that Fran's daughter Daisy would cooperate, but she wants nothing to do with any work involving her late father; besides which she has trust problems with males starting with her late dad and ending with her ex spouse. Her childhood was a roller coaster ride of great excitement in between vast moments of isolated loneliness. Nick's persistence begins to convert Daisy and soon she agrees to assist him. As their attraction grows, Nick uncovers a traumatic childhood secret of Daisy that he feels rounds out the complete picture of her dad, but could cost him the love of his life, who already believes that men lie. The key to this drama is the lead couple as readers see up front Daisy's vulnerability and Nick's driving ambition. When they fall in love, she expects him to fail her and he internally wars with the complete bio vs. love. Fans will enjoy this fine contemporary romantic tale in which a dead person serves as matchmaker and heartbreaker. Harriet Klausner
