Two sworn enemies
who can’t resist each other. Something has to give.
The Blakes
and the Cavenders have been going at it since 1870 and Vienna Blake
keeps up the family tradition, gunning for the Cavenders at every

sabotage and believes beautiful, ruthless Vienna Blake is responsible.
Fearing for her life and grieving for her brother, Mason hires a

that she hire a psychic to undo the “curse” on her family. He gives her
a name. Phoebe Temple. Phoebe’s dreams have always centered on the
victims of crimes, and she isn’t surprised when the woman steps from
her dreams into her life, asking for help.
Exposing
family secrets always comes at a price. With passion and family honor
in the balance, Mason is willing to pay her dues. But can she persuade
Vienna to accept a truce before it’s too late? Dark Garden brings
together two powerful women who must confront the past if they want to
seize the future.

Pat reluctantly elects to take a few months leave without pay. The last

nemesis on the journey into the unknown, Charlotte soon finds her

Dark Valentine
A one-night stand too compelling to walk
away from ensnares two women in a high-stakes cat-and-mouse game
that begins in the courtroom and ends in a dark labyrinth of danger
and desire.
Rhianna Lamb has just spent six months
creating a new identity for herself to escape Werner Brigham, the
man who stalked and assaulted her. When she arrives in the
courtroom to take the witness stand against him, she is stunned to
find herself staring at the woman she’s having a fling with – none
other than Julia Valiant, Brigham's hotshot defense attorney. Jules
is equally shocked. Brought into the Brigham trial at the eleventh
hour, she had no idea the “Kate” she’s been seeing was also the
plaintiff. For many reasons she has to win this case, but she also
wants to win Rhianna. Her chances for that don't look good after
she brutally cross-examines Rhianna and demolishes the
prosecution's case. Werner Brigham is acquitted, and worse still,
seems to think he can return to his old habits, this time with
deadly intent.
A new game is in play, one Jules has to
win. But even if she does, will Rhianna ever forgive her?
What the press has to say:
"Fulton takes an
age old formula for love and plants it in modern surroundings. The
writing is smart and quick, and she portrays innocence with loving,
irresistible humor. She delivers flesh-warming, flush-inducing
seduction and pages of slippery, richly textured sex. Her knack for
depicting current social dilemmas also makes her a compelling
contemporary author." The Lesbian Review of Books
"Fulton has penned
another wonderfully readable, erotically-charged book…fun, and well
worth your time." Lambda Book Report
"Perhaps needless
to say, the paths the friendships take are fraught with, among other
things, lust, unrequited love, infidelity and dishonesty. Good
intentions are trampled in the pursuit of passion. Problems, both past
and present, shape the relationships the women share….The writing is
sharp…a realistic account of contemporary urban lesbian life."
Melbourne Star Observer
"The ending left me
grinning to myself for hours and wishing for an immediately available
sequel… One of the best writers on the roster….Her books are always
entertaining and often thought provoking."
Dimensions
"One of those books
that is hard to put down until you finish it…Whether you're in the
perfect relationship or still looking for it, you'll enjoy this story."
