Captive Desires — Diane Whiteside

Quiet Danae Livingston has two lives. One is her lifeline, a career as a hardworking member of a top New York dance troupe; the other is 'her secret passion, fanfic author who writes scorching tales about the haunting world of Torhtremer and about Alekhsiy, her favorite resident hero. The only time her worlds merge is at GriffinCon, the summer's largest science-fiction convention.

There, an obsessed fan prowls the crowded convention halls, hunting for the one author who can rewrite Torhtremer's saga to his own twisted liking, and have the legendary villain Azherbhai win everything.

But Alekhsiy and Torhtremer are far more real than Danae or her devotees could ever imagine. Knowing that danger from Earth threatens his home once again, Alekhsiy comes to GriffinCon to stop it, even if it means destroying the unknown dancer who's saved his life so many times.

Soon, fantasy and reality will merge, swords and sorcery will cross, and the sensual world of one woman's vivid imagination will be almost impossible to resist -- or to escape.
