{"product_id":"2940150387355","title":"Stormy","description":"A widower, a divorcee, co-workers, lovers... a future together... marriage? \u003cbr\u003eConsoling each other for years over each other's misfortune, Karen and Daniel turn a friendship into a weekend of unbridled red-hot passion.  The heat between them leads to thoughts of a future together.  That is...\u003cbr\u003eUntil children, an ex-husband, an unexpected heart-attack, a conniving trophy-wife, guilt and personal choices come between them.  Will the heat of their passion, let them break from the past and move into the future?\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eExcerpt:\u003cbr\u003e\"Damn, Daniel, where are you?\" Karen Barr glanced at her cell phone, hoping to see a message from him. She'd called him before she left her apartment, texted him from the station where she stopped for gas, and had even pulled off the highway a time or two in her attempt to reach him.\u003cbr\u003eNothing. \u003cbr\u003eHad he changed his mind about this weekend?\u003cbr\u003eOr was the bad weather interfering with his cell phone signal?\u003cbr\u003eAs if in answer to her question, the pounding rain increased, pouring water from the sky like an overflowing faucet. The windshield wipers worked in a quick pulsating rhythm. Nevertheless, they still didn't achieve the task of improving visibility. \u003cbr\u003eKaren flipped the switch to increase the speed and stared at the road ahead. The weatherman had predicted a storm tonight, and for once when she wanted him to be wrong, he was right. \u003cbr\u003eHow much farther did she have to go?\u003cbr\u003eThe turn off for Daniel's cabin couldn't be too far away. She'd caught sight of the old, red barn off to the left a few miles back, so the dirt lane to Daniel's place had to be close.\u003cbr\u003eShe slowed the car, crawling along at a snail's pace so as not to miss the path. Her headlights reflected off something metallic. She read the weathered sign. Happy. \u003cbr\u003eThe outdated tune of \"Happy Trails to You\" played through her head. Daniel had sung the song the first time he'd brought her here. He said it'd help her remember the way back. \u003cbr\u003eRight, and where the hell was he?\u003cbr\u003eKaren checked her cell phone again, and silently prayed he wasn't lying in a muddy ditch somewhere. Hopefully, he had simply forgotten to recharge his phone, a particularly annoying habit he seemed to have.\u003cbr\u003e\"Damn it, Daniel, when I find you I...\"\u003cbr\u003eShe didn't exactly know what she'd do... kiss him? \u003cbr\u003ePictures of him flashed in her head... his sexy smile, his curly, dark hair with a touch of gray at his temples... the broad width of his shoulders, his trim physique... the round curve of his ass. \u003cbr\u003e\"Shit, why do I put myself through this?
