Ulterior Motives — Susan Kearney

A magical painting, a mystical gateway...

Legend has it that a heartbroken artist used magical paint to create thel beautiful "Midnight Magic"--and then stepped into the painting and was never seen again. Or so Sara Drimmon is told when she visits the Second Chance Gallery in Rebecca York's "Second Chance." Sara experiences the magic for herself when the painting sends her into her own past and gives her a second chance with her first love.

Then it's Sara's turn to introduce someone to the painting--and she chooses Merline, a beautiful singer who's lost her voice. In Susan Kearney's "Ulterior Motives," the painting sends Merline thousands of !lik years into the future, where she is no longer a superstar. Is Merline ready to trade stardom for love?

In Jeanie London's "Temptation," an artist urges Nina de Lacy to look deeply into the painting. But Nina has her own magical way of seeing into the souls of men--and now she must choose between the destiny "Midnight Magic" offers her and the two men who wait for her to tell them their future...
