Haunting Love Alley
by Sahara Kelly, S. L. Carpenter

Love Alley—a beautiful house deep in Louisiana bayou country. It's an unlikely inheritance for city boy Louis Beekman, but he falls in love with the place as soon as he sees it. He plans to renovate and restore its old-time spirit, but before long he realizes some old-time spirits are already there. Cory Lavalle has a unique psychic gift—to her the "other" residents of Love Alley are as natural as clouds in the sky. Convincing Louis isn't easy, even though the two of them find themselves swept into a love story that began long ago in Love Alley and has yet to end. The heat of the past erupts, sweeping Cory and Louis into a place where time has no meaning and long-ago events are as close as a kiss. The passage of centuries warps and blurs, demanding that desire heal the wounds of yesterday and love set the course for tomorrow. Eventually destiny must be fulfilled and the ghosts allowed to find peace, instead of Haunting Love Alley...

Sahara Kelly's Bio

Being transplanted from England in my teens, I arrived in the United States with a head full of Jane Austen, Shakespeare and Thomas Hardy stories, and a trunk full of Georgette Heyer and Barbara Cartland books. Romances are, and always have been, my first reading choice (I write Regency historicals under another name).

I've been happily married for almost twenty years to a high energy physicist/software architect (and would-be biker dude), and am the frazzled mom of a teenage son who intends to rule the world someday. I've worked in academia for many years, been a Middle Eastern dancer and dance teacher, a nursery school aide, and served my obligatory five years pushing designer evening gowns on unsuspecting customers at my local mall. At last I have finally had time to rediscover my passion for writing. Another Regency historical emerged, and was sent off into the big wide world of publishing.

In the interim I joined A Romance Review, and found a group of folks with obsessions like mine! I also found friends who encouraged and supported my efforts to pen a romantica while waiting to hear the fate of my Regency. Little did I realize that the enormous fun I was having writing my first erotic romance would lead to its publication by Ellora's Cave. Now I am in love with the genre, and writing takes precedence over far too many things, like laundry and housecleaning. But what the heck - how many people can say they sit down at the computer each day to do something they adore?

Hobbies? Yeah, I've got a few. I'm an inveterate crafter, and am the co-founder of a crafts group in my area. I'm a dog worshipper, but temporarily dogless after the loss of our second precious Bernese. I hate flying, love the fall, and can't stand olives. Chocolate, however is another matter. I'm an enthusiastic gardener of no repute whatsoever, and am fascinated by Italian glass. One day, I'll go to Venice, stand on the island of Murano, cry a little, and then max out every credit card I own. Until then, I believe that everyone should have a 'Lifetime List' - things they'd love to do but probably never will. Of such lists are fantasies born. We all should have fantasies.
