A Passionate Illusion

Since the Spritzi soda ads, Lissa Bauer had painfully inched her way up the acting ladder. And now she was barely hanging on to her first big role as Jeannie Duncan, the heroine in the movie adaptation of Matthew Briggs's bestselling novel A High, Hard Land. No one, especially Lissa, could seem to give the famous author the perfection -- and passion -- he demanded.

But Lissa was unaware how much her lightness and radiance drew Matthew to her. He wanted to show her how to bring illusion alive with passion, passion as real, as wild, as tantalizing as the hunger he could no longer deny.
