Coming In 2008...
Dark Garden
(November 2008)
Two sworn enemies
who can’t resist each other. Something has to give.
The Blakes
and the Cavenders have been going at it since 1870 and Vienna Blake
keeps up the family tradition, gunning for the Cavenders at every
opportunity. All the same, she’s shocked when Mason Cavender confronts
her in her office and accuses her of murder. Vienna has the stunningly
sexual Mason thrown out by security, but she can’t rid herself so
easily of her powerful, instant attraction to the woman she’s been
groomed since childhood to destroy.
Last in a
long line of “Cursed Cavenders,” as the media describes them, Mason has
just walked away from the small plane crash that killed her brother.
Now in charge of her family’s crumbling business empire, she suspects
sabotage and believes beautiful, ruthless Vienna Blake is responsible.
Fearing for her life and grieving for her brother, Mason hires a
private investigator to get evidence she can take to the police. She is
frustrated when the man finds nothing but makes the bizarre suggestion
that she hire a psychic to undo the “curse” on her family. He gives her
a name. Phoebe Temple. Phoebe’s dreams have always centered on the
victims of crimes, and she isn’t surprised when the woman steps from
her dreams into her life, asking for help.
Exposing
family secrets always comes at a price. With passion and family honor
in the balance, Mason is willing to pay her dues. But can she persuade
Vienna to accept a truce before it’s too late? Dark Garden brings
together two powerful women who must confront the past if they want to
seize the future.
The third book in the Dark Vista series.

simplicity. Then she meets Annabel.
Haunted by a secret that threatens to derail her relationship with her

them. When Hurricane Mary strikes the island, each woman must make a
choice that will change her life forever.

wants her banished abroad and her network writes her temporarily out of the

Killer has consumed every waking moment for three years. Suffering from
burnout, and hoping fresh new eyes might come up with a break in the case,
Pat reluctantly elects to take a few months leave without pay. The last

private security gig babysitting a celebrity.

Botanist Charlotte Lascelles can’t believe her luck when she is
selected for a research expedition into the untamed Foja

has spent the past decade working as a mercenary soldier for shady characters in Indonesia and East Timor. To
make matters worse, Ash Evans' history with women represents
everything Charlotte loathes.
Although friends accuse Charlotte of being uptight, she simply has
standards, and they don't include hooking up with brazen playgirls
like Ash. Charlotte can’t wait until they reach camp so she
can put the distracting and far too sexy guide out of her sight,
but things aren’t going her way. Compelled to share a tent with her
nemesis on the journey into the unknown, Charlotte soon finds her
determined reserve no match for the fires Ash ignites.

What the press has to say:
"Fulton takes an
age old formula for love and plants it in modern surroundings. The
writing is smart and quick, and she portrays innocence with loving,
irresistible humor. She delivers flesh-warming, flush-inducing
seduction and pages of slippery, richly textured sex. Her knack for
depicting current social dilemmas also makes her a compelling
contemporary author." The Lesbian Review of Books
"Fulton has penned
another wonderfully readable, erotically-charged book…fun, and well
worth your time." Lambda Book Report
"Perhaps needless
to say, the paths the friendships take are fraught with, among other
things, lust, unrequited love, infidelity and dishonesty. Good
intentions are trampled in the pursuit of passion. Problems, both past
and present, shape the relationships the women share….The writing is
sharp…a realistic account of contemporary urban lesbian life."
Melbourne Star Observer
"The ending left me
grinning to myself for hours and wishing for an immediately available
sequel… One of the best writers on the roster….Her books are always
entertaining and often thought provoking."
Dimensions
"One of those books
that is hard to put down until you finish it…Whether you're in the
perfect relationship or still looking for it, you'll enjoy this story."
