Romantic Suspense

After her promotion from law firm Runner to Investigator, Kathleen Turner is learning the ropes of her new job from none other than assassin-for-hire Kade Dennon, a situation her boyfriend Blane Kirk is none too happy about. But the lessons with Kathleen take a back seat when Kade becomes a target. Previously untouchable, his enemies now know of the chink in his armor – his brother’s girlfriend.

And Kade’s not the only thing coming between Kathleen and Blane. From Blane's inexplicable defense of a man guilty of a horrible crime, to a mysterious stranger from Kathleen's past, to Kathleen' risky investigation into human traffickers, the obstacles mount against a relationship that's just begun to find trust again.

While Blane considers a job offer that would take him back to the front lines in the war on terror, Kathleen is determined to pursue her new career, with or without his approval. Unfortunately, her current case is far more dangerous than anyone knows. Someone close to Blane will go to extreme lengths to split them up, lengths that may prove worse than death for Kathleen.

Kathleen, Blane and Kade must atone for the sins of the past and the present. The fallout will force Kathleen to a turning point...in her career, and her life.

His parents divorced, and his mother married Henry Luce III (the son of the founder of Time Magazine) during Hurt's childhood. Hurt graduated from Middlesex School in 1968 where he was vice president of the Dramatics Club and had the lead role in several of the school plays. His high school yearbook predicted, "With characteristics such as these, you might even see him on Broadway." Hurt attended Tufts University and studied theology, but turned instead to acting and joined the Juilliard Drama School studying alongside Christopher Reeve. He has received the nickname "bojangles" from several of his classmates at Juilliard.Hurt appeared first on stage, only later turning to film. His first major role was in the sci-fi hit Altered States which gave him wide recognition for playing an obsessed scientist. His performance with Richard Crenna, Ted Danson, and newcomer Kathleen Turner in Lawrence Kasdan's neo-noir classic Body Heat elevated Hurt to stardom. He received the Best Male Performance Prize at the Cannes Film Festival and the Academy Award for Best Actor for Kiss of the Spider Woman for 1985. He has received three additional Oscar nominations; one for Children of a Lesser God, one for Broadcast News and one (for Best Supporting Actor) in A History Of Violence .Often cast as an intellectual, Hurt has put this to good use in many films like Lost in Space and The Big Chill, but he is also effective in other kinds of roles, such as those in I Love You to Death, and David Cronenberg's psychological drama A History of Violence (2005), wherein, with less than 10 minutes of screen time, he plays the creepy mob boss Richie Cusack. That same year, Hurt could be seen as a mysterious government operative in Stephen Gaghan's ensemble drama about the politics of big oil, Syriana.Hurt has been seen in the mini-series adaptation of Stephen King's Nightmares and Dreamscapes, in a piece entitled Battleground. He plays "Renshaw", a hitman who receives a package from the widow of a toymaker he killed, unaware of what is waiting inside for him.

Jennings became pregnant in the Spring of 1982 which precipitated Hurt's divorce from Mary Beth Hurt, after which Hurt and Jennings relocated to South Carolina, which recognized common-law marriages. Hurt and Jennings, never officially married, later separated, and Jennings sued in New York, seeking a court order recognizing their purported common-law marriage under South Carolina law. The New York court, which did not recognize common-law marriage and was reluctant to recognize a common-law marriage originating in South Carolina, found in Hurt's favor that no common-law marriage existed.Additionally, Hurt dated Marlee Matlin for two years, and they lived together during 1986. In her 2009 autobiographical book, I'll Scream Later, Matlin claimed their relationship involved considerable drug abuse and physical abuse by Hurt. In response to the accusations aired on CNN on April 13, 2009, Hurt's agent declined to respond. Hurt issued a statement on April 14, 2009, responding to Matlin's remarks. He stated "My own recollection is that we both apologized and both did a great deal to heal our lives. Of course, I did and do apologize for any pain I caused. And I know we have both grown. I wish Marlee and her family nothing but good."Hurt has four children: Jeanne with actress Sandrine Bonnaire, Alex with Sandra Jennings and two sons, Sam and William Hurt, from his 1989-92 marriage to Heidi Henderson.MORE INFO ON BLAIR BROWN: Bonnie Blair Brown (born April 23, 1947) is an American theater, film, and television actress.

Description #2 by Etsy - danieljosephdurkin:

What you see here is a new illustration which I have turned into a greeting card. A few years ago my sister Kathleen took a Vespa Tour of Tuscany. She visited several exciting locations and mentioned that Florence was one of her favorites. This illustration shows the famous domed cathedral, Santa Maria del Fiore, known as the Duomo. Below the cathedral the center of the city which twists and turns a bit like a maze. At the very bottom of the illustration you can see a young lady on her blue Vespa. Like many of my other illustrations this one is created using scratch board. I begin with an all black surface and I scratch away the black to reveal the white below. This creates a look similar to a woodcut. I will scan my scratch board into my computer where I will add light layers of color. In this case I added a gray mid-tone and the beautiful, burnt-orange color of the roof tiles. I then print out each card on natural-toned, recycled paper and I hand paint white details in gouache. The white areas will be the brightest points in the card and to me it looks like the sun has illuminated a few of the roof tops. I paired the card with an orange envelope. The card measures 4 3/8 x 5 3/4 and it is blank inside. The back of the card is signed by me! To get into the mood to create this card I read the non-fiction book "The Monster of Florence" (which was a real page turner!) and I have have listened to a lot of "Gianni Schicchi", Puccini's opera about Florence. Although you may not know about "Gianni", everyone knows the melody from the big aria, "O Mio Babbino Caro". (Visit You Tube to see Leontyne Price sing it the way it should be sung!) Now I am left with several beautiful cards and a burning desire to visit Florence. Please buy lots and lots of these so I can afford to take my own Vespa trip! My heartfelt thanks to my sister Kathleen for taking such an exciting vacation and bringing home lots and lots of photographs! Thanks for checking out my Tiny Etsy Shop! Ciao! -Dan :-)
