Synopsis

* All David craved in his childhood was the love and acceptance his parents would not give him. Their denial of affection festered in him, and bitterness and darkness grew until it consumed him. Shadowy secrets, manipulation and cruelty become the weapons of his vengeful nature. Control of a vast financial empire finally gives him the power he long coveted. Marty, a stunning femme fatale with a provocative tattoo reenters David’s life. Her insatiable dark urges for male attention lead her astray from respectability and love with a good man. Through their twisted psychological attraction David and Marty discover they enjoy mutual sinister thoughts. Marty attempts respectability. She sets her eye and heart on a loving man who offers normalcy, but her wanton hunger keeps luring her to return to the depths of depravity. Another woman holds a prior claim on her love interest and simmering jealousies threaten to flare into open hostility. Marty is determined to destroy her. She commits herself to do the unthinkable to win her man. Controlled by the Devil in her DNA, Marty savors flashbacks to her iniquitous seductions of her teacher and other lovers. Conflicting inner voices wrack her emotions leaving her helplessly catatonic and crying. Her roiled feelings reach a shocking climax when David cleverly makes a spellbinding offer packaged with an irresistibly delicious choice. Escape from torment is within her grasp, or she may choose to reach for everything and risk upending her world. Erotic, emotionally sensitive and provocative, THE SECRET AND THE BUTTERFLY will speak to your heart, absorb your soul and cause your thoughts to flutter in wonderment. Contains explicit cheating, child abuse and suicide trigger for some readers.

About this title

About the Author

    I'm reclusive by choice. I live near the edge of a wilderness area and my best friends are the forest animals. I love watching them go about their lives. Ilike to disappear into the wild for several days or a week at a time to get mybest ideas and do my thinking. I have one house pet, a big tabby cat named Bud.

    I have a huge fan of my writings and he gives me lots of recognition. Bud leaves his decapitated mouse bodies on my porch steps. I can't swear that Bud's mouse parts awards are only for my writing, but I believe they must be! I know of no one else who's ever received an award from Bud. To be completely honest, Bud never actually said that he gives me mouse parts for my writing. I wish he didn't constantly shower me with awards, but I can't break him of that. I suppose he thinks by bringing me his messy little gifts he's encouraging me to continue writing. That must be Bud's way of showing love and appreciation. He's a cat!

   In the evenings I like to write my first drafts in pencil by an oil lamp. There's something special about thought processes that take place when I'm alone with my lamp, my pencil, the wonderful silence and Bud. He loves to walk on my draft paper or lie down and stretch himself out on it. That's his goofy way of telling me he needs my attention.Then I hold him close to me like he's a little baby and give him gentle hug rubs until he purrs. That's how I know he's happy and feeling healthy. He goes "purr, purr, purr, purr."  The rubs help him slip into cat dream world, I guess. My place is always clean, except for when Bud leaves a fur ball. He can't help himself when he does that. He's a cat!
