From the publisher:

Suffering from writer's block and with no lover to speak of, novelist Laura Watkins is in a funk. She needs a getaway and a release. Fast. Fortunately, she finds both in the retreat of a friend's isolated Colorado home. It's hers and hers alone for as long as she needs it. Then she comes upon the webcam, and her curiosity is aroused. So is her secret fantasy-to be watched by a stranger. His screen name is Flyboy. He likes what he sees. He wants to open up for her, too. Now, they're only one click away from exploring an after-hours game of exhibitionist and voyeur where anything goes. But now it's time to take it one step further-by meeting in the flesh. This time, no rules, no limits, and absolutely nothing to come between them.

What started out as a little cyber fun, turns into a game Laura’s not sure she can handle; it’s exciting, embarrassing, and such a turn-on. Flyboy, Braden knows exactly which buttons to push and the right gifts to send her to spur Laura on; he’s having the time of his life. And their little web cam activities at night have Laura writing some of the best stuff during the day, her block has lifted. When their cyber affair heats up even more, Braden makes the next move and shows up at the chalet. There’s a lot of emotion in the book. Braden senses perfectly that Laura wants to let go, but doesn’t really pressure her, and Laura astounds him with her desires to please him. There is much much more to this book than incredibly hot sex. The trust and emotional caring between Braden and Laura is very touching, and they surprise each other with how much they want to hold on to what they have. Ms. Alexander is a talent I’ll be seeking out again.

Star, thank you for your recommendation! This one was on your top list for 2007, and I picked it up after Christmas with a gift card. I read it last winter and thought I’d reviewed it, but discovered when I went to type up my review for Lacey’s next book Seven Nights of Sin, that I hadn’t yet. Lacey Alexander once wrote for Harlequin Temptation as Toni Blake. As the love story in this book was always the main focus, I’m very much looking forward to reading her Temptations.
