From those first sweet glances of attraction to the magic of love in unexpected places, PASSION AND RAGE sweeps the reader into a world of hope and hurt, strength and wisdom. Where the smallest of touches can have powerful meaning and words can be sharpened like swords, she finds herself learning new means to survive. Like heroic tales of old, our knight is flawed but loved the more fiercely for it. Come along on the journey that will capture your heart, and linger long after the final page is turned. EXCERPT: "There are days, seemingly random, but no less intense for the inconstancy, when I must run for a time. The distance between us has become hard and cold as a terrible expanse of steel with distorted reflections alternately laughing and scowling back at us perfectly polished edges so sharp I nearly cry out in pain from the invisible cuts each time I try to find you and grasp instead only steely blades. Yet there are days when I miss you enough to risk the pain on the off-chance I could engender enough warmth to melt this steel wall into those links we'd just begun to forge together instead of apart apart and lonely."
