| Summary: | Three passionate, sensitive novels of interracial love and friendship from an award-winning master of contemporary romance who is "simply without equal" (Valerie Wilson Wesley). <br> <br> From breaking ground as the first African American author to write for Harlequin to her mainstream success with The Color of Love and many other acclaimed novels, Essence -bestselling author Sandra Kitt has received honors ranging from a Romantic Times Lifetime Achievement Award to a Zora Neale Hurston Award and an NAACP Image Award nomination. In these three unforgettable love stories, "Kitt delves into issues of interracial relationships . . . with great sensitivity and understanding" ( Publishers Weekly ).<br> <br> The Color of Love : An artist trapped in an unfulfilling relationship, Leah Downey wants more out of life. But she plays it safe, never venturing too far from her comfort zone . . . especially not since the night she was mugged. But something about Jason Horn strikes a chord deep within her. Jason is a white, streetwise New York cop, with his own issues. He's stunned by his instant attraction to this vibrant black woman who arouses both desire and his fiercest protective instincts.<br> <br> "Moving . . . Kitt does an incredible job exploring both characters' reservations about having an interracial relationship." -- USA Today <br> <br> Close Encounters : Lee Grafton is a divorced cop and the father of a teenage girl. Carol Taggart is a newly single professor. Their lives collide one night when Carol is caught in the crossfire of an undercover drug sting. Seriously wounded, she finds an unexpected friend in Lee . . . but their mutual attraction gets complicated when it's revealed that the bullet that hit this African American woman came from this white policeman's gun.<br> <br> "Bold and imaginative . . . sure to keep readers turning the pages." --E. Lynn Harris<br> <br> Between Friends : Born to a white mother and an African American father, Dallas Oliver has always felt like an outsider--even more so after her mother dies and she moves in with her father and stepmother. The one saving grace is Dallas's friendship with a white girl named Valerie Holland. Decades later, they're still best friends. Dallas is a journalist for a controversial magazine, and Valerie is a single mother. But their bond will be tested when they fall in love with the same man: ex-Navy Seal Alex Marco.<br> <br> "Intense, thoughtful, and sensual." -- Library Journal |
