With the Right One, it’s Wise to be Passion’s Fool

Francine Craft is a national best-selling author whose novels about human relationships and true love have earned her a vast following. In her latest novel, Passion’s Fool (Kimani Press/Arabesque; February 2006; paperback; $6.99), she weaves a masterful romance of intrigue, murder, and passion from the crime-ridden streets of Washington, D.C.

WMRY-TV investigative Reporter, Raven McCloud, finds her probe into the fraud and embezzlement claims against Citizens’ Charity Group is turning out to be more dangerous for her than she ever imagined. The deaths of two close friends, who were affiliated with this group, are taking its toll on her. Just when it seems she is about to become a victim of a serious crime while in a seedy section of D.C., Detective Adam Steele comes to her rescue. The attraction Raven feels for this man literally gives her a rush. But the abuse and pain she experienced at the hands of her vindictive ex-husband has her throwing up road blocks in hopes of keeping Adam away.

After the death of his beloved wife, Adam Steele pretty much gave up the idea of ever finding true love again, until he meets Raven McCloud. This woman sets his senses on fire, but Raven fears their May-September relationship will inevitably leave her alone. Just when it seems he is successfully stripping away all of her insecurities about their age difference, and fears about loving him, threats against her life thwart their relationship. If he is ever going to get their relationship on track, his first priority must be to protect her at all cost. But the question that haunts him is, who is he protecting her from? Can he truly save his new love from harm and make her his own?

In Passion’s Fool, Francine Craft brings to life two unforgettable characters as they love, laugh, and struggle to survive all the while giving meaning to the idea that love really can conquer all.
