There's nothing like the feel of the sand on your body when the sun beats down on your skin. The tantalizing touch of the cool ocean breezes can fuel your desire.

Madeline Young the heroine from my novel, Echoes at Dawn, spends a glorious day at the beach with her love Nat Griffin. It becomes one of her fondest memories. Nat swept her off of the sand and held her close. Her heart raced as he nuzzled her neck and whispered sweet words of love.

The strangely intertwined lives of a widowed woman, and a charismatic bachelor come together in order to show that in life, there are no coincidences…only destiny.

Waterfront restaurant chef Madeline Young adores her job. If only her love and family's lives were as successful as her career. With a teenage son, who spends time in the emergency room for alcohol poisoning and a dementia-plagued mother, Madeline doesn't know how much more she could handle. Then her mother enlists the help of her deceased twin sister, Mary, to guide Madeline to find happiness. An early dawn visit from the spirit directs Madeline to volunteer at the local hospitals center for addiction recovery, where she comes alive for the first time in many years under the attention of Nat Griffin.

Nathaniel Griffin, a part-time counselor and contractor, fascinates his clients with his lectures. In keeping with his philosophy of professionalism, Nat prefers to keep his personal life private. When attraction tests his beliefs, Nat must confront his marred past. Is he willing to face his demons or take the easier path and remain isolated?

Can unworldly ghosts save this couple from their own self-destructive behavior? Will they be able to accept change and move forward, or allow secrets to stand in the way?

While I sat in front of the television on Saturday night, I realized how much romantic movies set the mood for the end of a summer day. Sometimes in a long term relationship, we get caught up in our busy routine. After an afternoon barbecue it's time to relax. We don't always let our naughty side reveal itself.  Love can make your summer days seem like magic and your summer nights sizzle.

The hot leading men in my favorite movies are absolutely yummy. All the ladies who yearn for their attention have one thing in common. They're seeking love from men who are mysterious, challenging, and hard to get. What is it about the rebel that makes a girl crazy?

Here's a few of the movies I'm talking about.  What do you think? Are the hero's worth the struggle? Do you have a movie that sparks your desires?
