Book Cover & Preview Text
"Lenny, you have a problem that James Earl Jones captured in a few words. He said, 'one of the hardest things in life is having words in your heart you can't utter.' My dear friend, your heart has been frozen for many years and your words are trapped inside. You need an opportunity to let your heart thaw." "Melissa is a tall, slender redhead, with hair that drifts down her back like a bolt of new Chinese silk, ending in the small curve of her back. It swishes when she walks and has the most delightful scent. When people talk with her, they frequently violate her comfort zone just to get close enough to smell her hair without being noticed. I know I do." "I have one question for you three that I need answered." "What's that, Lenny?" responded William, finally turning his eyes to me. "What happens between lust and lost?" I posed. "Love," answered Melissa without hesitation. "But, that's the problem. "How do you make love last?" I asked.
