A romantic suspense by Weslynn McCallister, writing as Jamie Cortland.
He's looking for you...on the beaches, in cocktail lounges and upscale restaurants. When you meet him, he will be charming, engaging, and compelling. Others will feel his menacing aura, but you will not. And so it was for Evelyn who was still half-way in love with her super-star ex-husband.
Once caught in the stranger's web, she discovered he was not the man of her dreams, but of her nightmares. Her only thought was to escape.
Skin Deep is about a stunning divorcee with a young child who is still half-way in love with her super-star ex-husband. Vulnerable, she meets a devastatingly handsome stranger who takes her on a whirl-wind romance. Despite the objections of her family, she elopes with him within months after she has met him. It is then that he drops the mask of deception that he has worn in order to win her heart.
The question is: Will she be able to escape his madness before it is too late?

Excerpt from Page 1, Chapter 1
She closed her eyes and drifted off, dreaming of a perfect stranger. The man in her dream was tall, handsome, and slender, with blue-green eyes and dark, wavy hair.
