Love on Location (May 2008)

Love on Location by Lisa Girolami

Power, money, and fame spell happiness—at least in the movies. 

Hollywood film producer Kate Nyland has it all, including her gorgeous movie star girlfriend, Hannah Corrant.  Amid the excitement of shooting multimillion-dollar movies and being photographed by the ever-present paparazzi out to get a glimpse of Hannah, Kate is reminded continually that her life couldn't be better.  That is, until she arrives in Florida to begin shooting her next film.  There she meets Dawn Brock, a beautiful, deeply spiritual artist, who sets off sparks that Kate cannot allow to ignite.  But just how can she quell the attraction that burns so intensely and the growing connection that seems impossibly unavoidable?  And what will happen when Hannah arrives in town for the movie shoot?  From behind-the-scenes rendezvous to center-stage passions, Kate discovers that love on location doesn't always follow the script.

 

Matinee Books Run to Me (October 2008)

Run to Me by Lisa Girolami

Burned by the four-letter word called love, the only thing Beth Standish wants to do is flee for—or maybe from—her life.  

In the middle of the night Beth takes her favorite running shoes and a flyer for the upcoming San Francisco half-marathon, and drives to the City by the Bay. Hoping to escape the ruins of her relationship, Beth intends to run thirteen miles straight into San Francisco’s famous fog. When an insightful woman named Alder Beckman comes to her rescue, Beth feels that maybe she’s found the calm sanctuary she so desperately seeks. But Beth’s calm is soon turned on its ear when she is pursued by an arousing and wild woman named Mary Walston, who has relationship ghosts of her own. It quickly becomes apparent that neither Alder or Mary  intend to let Beth disappear into the fog that easily. 

Will Beth be able to run fast enough to keep ahead of love, or will it overtake her in the home stretch?
