Few American women are as ready for adventure as Darla Penrod, in the booming year of 1973. In her late twenties, Darla is an original: rich, complicated, spoiled; but a free spirit, personally courageous and a sexually alluring beautiful woman. Darla knows she is a talented writer, but no one takes her seriously as they can't get past her beauty and millions. She decides to prove her intelligence by sneaking down to Chile to cover a hot political story about the Neo-Nazis protected by the Pinochet government. Her life veers in a new direction when she meets handsome Garth Catano, and involves herself in diabolical challenges. Never had the dark forces of political oppression been unmasked so nakedly as Darla, through her father's newspaper, is determined to expose their dirty secret to the world. Betrayed by the man she loves, she seeks to forget quickly in the arms of zany French conductor, Etienne Jordan. But he also deceives her with his secret. Jet setting from New York to Chile to Italy, Moonlight Melody, is a fast-paced, steaming romance filled with geo-political intrigue.
POETIC PETALS is an anthology of poems Alinka Zyrmont has written throughout the years. Not having much time to dedicate to her hobby of gardening once she started writing romance novels, she came up with the idea of incorporating lovely photos of flowers to accompany each of her poems. The result was this lovely coffee table gift book, dedicated "to lovers everywhere." Many of the poems are of a romantic feeling, while others are more philosophical, and some are even in Spanish. Truly a nice gift for a wedding or birthday present. Certainly a sweet way to say to anyone: I love you!

Alicia had no reason for marriage, she was having a great time being single, but when her step-father suggested she might turn into an "old-maid," he made her an offer she found hard to resist. He would pay her ticket around the world, all expenses paid, providing she returns with a husband. She immediately accepted his challenge and embarked upon a husband-hunting adventure, and in the process discovered her own weaknesses. The story unfolds of how she was constantly falling in love with the wrong men: Attilio, the singing psychiatrist whose love produced disastrous emotional consequences, pushing her into the arms of Luis, her Latin lover from Argentina; Arno, the Italian count, who hid behind her beauty; Ted, the American industrialist, who lied to her in Tokyo. When she set her sites on Jack, a California pilot, he was in no mood for marriage, ever accompanied by a bevy of suntanned beauties. Running out of time, she puts her devious plan into action. Husband Hunting, a woman's search for a husband is indeed cosmopolitan and delightful reading. Each chapter describes the nation Alicia is hunting in at the time: the land of the tango, Argentina; romantic Italy, haughty Germany, and frigid yet passionate Russia. Husband Hunting, the story of one woman's search for marriage, is a blueprint for husband hunting.
