Aloha to Karen Ranney and THE LASS WORE BLACK


The Hawaiian phrase of the day is

He kehau ho`oma`ema`e ke aloha.

Love is like a cleansing dew.


Perhaps Catriona needs a dose of Aloha in Karen Ranney's THE LASS WORE BLACK:

Catriona Cameron was once famed for her seductive beauty and charm. Now she saw no one, hiding from the world . . . and no one dared break through her self-imposed exile.

No one, that is, until Mark Thorburn burst into her home, and Catriona's darkened world began to have color again. Thorburn, secretly the heir to an Earldom, claimed he was a footman. But Catriona didn't care about the scandal their passion could cause . . . for his very touch sparked her back to a life of sensuality, one she thought she'd never have again.

Little does she know that Mark is part of a masquerade. One that will end when they become the target of a madman set on revenge. Mark realizes he will have to do more than win her love . . . he will have to save her life as well.

  1. I used to wear mostly black -- but I've discovered other colors now and I like how I feel when I'm wearing white and yellow -- very bright and sunny colors. ^_^

  5. I like the color yellow, but my fashion adviser (my younger sister :D) said that I look good with peach or coral since it complements my skin.

  6. I love to wear navy, and anything beige. They go well with my color hair.

    I'm adoring all these "Highlander" books you've had on this week. There's nothing that I love more than a strong, alpha Highlander. ;-(

  9. Black is what I wear to work ... So I do not like to wear it when at home.
    PURPLE has been my favorite color since birth as my Mother being Scottish always attached a wee bit to my Pram Cot or clothing.

    I Love Karen's Books cant wait to read this one.
    Have a good one
