Description

More than twenty-five years after its first publication as a Candlelight Ecstasy Supreme novel from Dell, Sandi Gelles-Cole's classic romance, SECRETS AND DESIRE, continues to prove that the truths are timeless in the high-stakes worlds of big business. . . big oil . . . and love. Read an excerpt . . . "Michela swept her long dark hair back from her face and leaned her head back, resting now that the day's hard-won war was behind her. Even with the crackling connection, she was keen to the nuances of the insincerity in Rob Letton's voice as he mouthed words of congratulations. At thirty-two, Michela posed an enormous threat to the men who worked around her at Garner Oil Company in her position as Vice President of Operations. And Rob Letton, her right-hand man and finance expert, was the most dangerous lion in the lair. Rob's success was hooked to Michela's star-and yet he resented her the very brilliance he depended upon to stoke his own ambitious fires. "'No, Rob. Don't tell anyone yet It will be announced in Sunday's Times. Meanwhile, I'm taking the weekend off in the Big Apple. Listen, this connection is unbearable. I'll call you back later with all the, gritty details.'" And without waiting to hear more, she hung up. "The young dark-haired woman breathed a deep, exhausted sigh and settled deeper into the plush rear seat of the limousine. Outside her window Park Avenue's grand old apartment houses stared down at her like snow-covered mountains. She felt beyond exhaustion-she felt depleted and ready to fill herself up with pleasure instead of business for a few days. "It was just then she noticed the cowboy, stuck like the drifter he appeared to be in the swirling, windswept snow. She wouldn't have been able to overlook him even under ordinary circumstances, dressed as he was. Michela laughed right out loud at the sight of his suede chaps smack-dab in the middle of New York's snobbiest neighborhood. And as the limo waited at the light, her green eyes glued themselves to the handsome figure. Her gaze made a meticulous tour of his tall, broad-shouldered body until, fixed on his high-cheekboned face, she realized he wasn't quite a stranger. Not really."
