After three years spent mourning the death of her partner in a tragic climbing accident, Danica Warren has re-emerged in the public eye. With a best-selling memoir, a blockbuster movie about her heroic efforts to save three other climbers, and a successful career on the motivational speaking circuit, Danica has convinced herself that her life can be full without love.

When Chase Crosley walks into Danica's field of vision everything changes. Danica is suddenly faced with questions she's never pondered.

Is there really one love that transcends all concepts of space and time? One great love that joins two hearts so that they beat as one? One moment of recognition when twin flames join and burn together?

Will Danica and Chase be able to overcome the barriers standing between them and find forever? And can that love be sustained, even in the face of cruel circumstances and fate?

Trystan Lightfoot allowed herself to love once in her life; the experience broke her heart and strengthened her resolve never to fall in love again. At forty, however, she still longs for the comfort of a woman’s arms. She finds temporary solace in meaningless, albeit adventuresome encounters, burying her pain and her emotions deep inside where no one can reach. No one, that is, until she meets C.J. Winslow.

C.J. Winslow is the model-pretty-but-aging professional tennis star the Women’s Tennis Federation is counting on to dispel the image that all great female tennis players are lesbians. And her lesbianism isn’t the only secret she’s hiding. A traumatic event from her childhood is taking its toll both on and off the court.

Together Trystan and C.J. must overcome their challenges to find the flip side of desire.

A gripping page-turner

Lynn Ames, author of the best-selling, critically acclaimed novels The Price of Fame and The Cost of Commitment, is back with The Value of Valor, the third book in the celebrated Kate & Jay trilogy.

Katherine Kyle is the press secretary to the president of the United States. Her lover, Jamison Parker, is a respected writer for Time magazine. Separated by unthinkable tragedy, the two must struggle to survive against impossible odds…

A powerful, shadowy organization wants to advance its own global agenda. To succeed, the president must be eliminated. Only one person knows the truth and can put a stop to the scheme.

It will take every ounce of courage and strength Kate possesses to stay alive long enough to expose the plot. Meanwhile, Jay must cheat death and race across continents to be by her lover's side…

This hair-raising thriller will grip you from the start and won't let you go until the ride is over.

The Value of Valor-it's priceless.

"ABSORBING"
Lynn Ames's first novel, The Price of Fame, has been called "absorbing and filled with romance" (Lori L. Lake, Midwest Book Review). Now Ames is back with the second installment in the lives of Katherine Kyle and Jamison Parker.

SPINE-TINGLING SUSPENSE
Kate and Jay want nothing more than to focus on their love. But as Kate settles in to a new profession, she and Jay are caught up in the middle of a deadly scheme and find themselves pawns in a larger game in which the stakes are nothing less than control of the country.

OUTSTANDING ACTION
In her new novel of corruption, greed, romance, and danger, Lynn Ames takes us on an unforgettable journey of harrowing conspiracy-and establishes herself as a mistress of suspense.

THE COST OF COMMITMENT
It could be everything...

When local television news anchor Katherine Kyle is thrust into the national spotlight, it sets in motion a chain of events that will change her life forever. Jamison “Jay” Parker is an intensely career-driven Time magazine reporter; she has experienced love once, from afar, and given up on finding it again...That is, until circumstance and an assignment bring her into contact with her past.

Kate and Jay’s lives intertwine, leading them on a journey to love and happiness, until fate and fame threaten to tear them apart. What is the price of fame? For Kate the cost just might be everything. For Jay, the price could be the other half of her soul.

Telltale Kisses. Every now and then an opportunity comes along to do something good for people who deserve it. This is one of those times. There's are some 300 little leaguers in a small town who were left devastated when the league president embezzled all of their funds. Without some outside intervention, their 2005 season was never going to get out of the dugout.

In stepped a wonderful, caring parent, who also happens to be a phenomenal supporter of lesbian fiction. When Stephanie Solomon-Lopez contacted me and asked if I would be willing to donate a short story for an anthology, the proceeds of which would benefit this little league, I jumped at the chance. Please buy your copy today of Telltale Kisses. For one thing, it's got some great stories by some wonderful authors. For another, it'll make you feel like you've done something truly meaningful for some kids who could sure use a hand.

Thanks, Lynn Ames
