Lost Angel
A Contemporary Erotic Romance
Art insurance investigator Steven Gallagher is prepared to bleed for Emily Parker. Though she's a liar and a thief, a former juvenile delinquent, and Steve's damn sure she's involved somewhere in his new Cuzin case, her guilt doesn't matter to him. He doesn't care about any of it, including the absolute fact that she's using him... and sex... to get whatever the hell it is she's after. Regardless of everything-ethics, morality, the law-regardless that he swore off women years before, Steve falls hard for the foul-mouthed little con artist, a streetwise gutsy chick who refuses to let a bad past beat her down. To keep Emily safe, he'll do whatever it takes, put it all on the line-
And keep her in line too, even if he has to apply his dominant streak to her naughty little backside. She'll get everything she needs from him.
Except his trust.
No way is Steve trusting his LOST ANGEL.
I try hard to fill my novels with interesting settings and compelling characters with rich, nuanced backstories and motivations. As with all my books, the sex is hot but the strong story stands alone. LOST ANGEL includes classic cars and the underworld of fine art theft and trafficking, set in the villages of the summer vacation playground, Cape Cod. There's a wealthy art insurance investigator and a young woman damaged but also strengthened by her troubled youth.
Like the women in most of my novels, Emily isn't what she at first appears to be and neither is Steve Gallagher, the smooth, savvy art insurance investigator.
Emily is running for her life, and like when she lived on the streets, she will do anything to survive -- including offering her body to Steve to dominate and use whenever and however he pleases. This story like all of Ms. Trent's work is hot. The tension between Steve and Emily starts out subtly and builds to a sizzle. When they finally consummate their relationship the sex boils over. I highly recommend this book!

...If anticipation makes the prize all the sweeter...then Lost Angel
is one sweet prize. Sometimes you sit down to read a book looking for escape
and that book just grabs you and smacks you upside the head and screams "hey
look at me." Lost Angel is that book. It sucked me in so fast I was hooked
before I knew it and couldn't stop reading it until I finished. Ms. Trent
tells the story of two lost souls that are meant to be together and would
be, if their stubborn hearts would just let them. The background story is
gripping and absorbing. The characters are very well developed, so much so
that I felt the pain in their hearts and the fear in their minds. The
romance builds slowly and the sex doesn't happen until later, but by the
time Steven and Emily finally make love it is earth shattering and mind
blowing. Neither has experienced this kind of passion before and both have
trouble controlling it and coming to terms with it. I never get tired though
of reading about characters who love so completely they loose themselves in
each other. Ms. Trent has done an excellent job of telling a fascinating
suspense story mixed with some HOT erotically charged love scenes. I highly
recommend this book and look forward to reading more from this talented
author.
