Laird and Lillian Marlette Bess

A tormented, Laird MacMasters, made his way home to Washington, DC from the Amazon after completing a multi-year, Global Warming research project for NOAA. This trip seemed different because he missed a woman's touch; a touch that would calm him while taking away his gnawing hunger. Lillian Hensley was a strung-out, ex-model, addict trying to decide whether to get sober or take the path straight to hell. She wanted to live but couldn't see a reason too. A chance meeting between Laird and Lillian on the cruise ship changed everything...for both of them. That night a friendship formed complete with passionate sex that soothed both of them and grew into a full-blown love affair. Laird and Lillian became like a twisted old tree. The two were battered by heartache and tragedy only to emerged true to themselves and each other. Join them on their adventure!
