Dreams of Ecstasy — Francine Craft

Art gallery owner Catlin Coster is still grieving for her late husband and baby son - the last thing she needs is to discover that some of her husband's valuable paintings have been stolen. The only bright spot in her life is the reappearance of her old friend Marty Steele, who also knew her husband. When she's with the talented, dynamic Marty, she feels her passion for life returning...

Artist Marty Steele has been attracted to sassy, voluptuous Catlin since their days at art school, but could never pursue her because she was involved with his friend. He tried to forget her by marrying the feckless Bianca, but now that's over. Finally, he's free to convince Catlin she's the woman he wants -the only woman he's ever wanted. But can he persuade her to take a risk on finding new love with an old friend...and give them both another chance at happiness?
