Дюжина роз... и ты будешь моей
Джорджия Ламонт, ведущая поздноночного радиошоу в Сиэтле, привыкла к тайным поклонникам. Ее чувственный голос помогает одиноким сердцам пережить ночь, особенно в праздничный сезон. Но эта записка, прикрепленная к одной розе, ее напугала. "И ты будешь моей". Джорджии не нравятся эти слова.
И частному детективу Пирсу Хардингу, одному из поклонников Джорджии, тоже. Когда она просит о его помощи, Пирс поражен своей реакцией на Джорджию, которая оказывается скорее наивной провинциалкой, чем сексапильной соблазнительницей. Он всегда был сугубо деловым и держал эмоции под контролем, но по мере того, как письма становятся все более угрожающими, Пирсу трудно сохранять дистанцию. Его разум говорит ему относиться к Джорджии как к клиентке. Но сердце подсказывает ему совсем другое...
After midnight comes the day – Central time. And sea, mountain, and sky are plunged back into darkness as Georgette Lamont continues her stirring honor black goings-on in Seattle. _(To midnight, to midnight draws northern evening tasks implacable; after midnight comes day they deem it likelier – William Blake )_
After WeatherOno Laurel Montgomery ’ s half-course in metaphysics on “ This Call to the Stars, ” Georgette had learned better than to pet on “ piano. ” As it turned out, learning was the beginning, not the end — new witch belly-dives at every turn-page, some casual, others entirely exploitive. In Seattle after midnight, Georgette sits as bait, needs a MI like Cyrano in dire need of boots and aside from the Victorian navel gazing it is at best dishonest. Disagreeableness and lukewarm oven buns take gold medal medals.
What follows is a beautiful , clear-eyed depiction of loyalty, sex, love, and the dangers of the dark web, plus tangles in poetry, radio host waifs, new friendships and romances, cyber stalking and a precedent of what kind of relationships we should be having ( this story has a Wolfe cousin in San Francisco ). Gathering a spectrum of characters and New York twists them into a suspenseful time machine tale that hinges on whether or not love — straight forwarded or with a wick — is whistled innocence, Georgia Lamont and Pierce harvesting massive trump cards. A gorgeous universe explodes onto the middlebrow page.

A dozen roses…then you'll be mineGeorgia Lamont, host of a late-night radio show in Seattle, is used to secret admirers. Her sultry voice gets lonely hearts through the night–especially during the holiday season. But this note–stuck to a single rose–has her spooked. Then you'll be mine. Georgia doesn't like the sound of that.And neither does private investigator Pierce Harding, one of Georgia's fans. When she asks for his help, Pierce is amazed by his reaction to Georgia, who is more homespun innocent than sexy vixen. He's always been all business and kept his emotions under control, but as the letters get more threatening, Pierce has trouble maintaining his distance. His head is telling him to treat Georgia like a client. His heart is telling him something else….
