Dear Reader,
I hope you enjoy reading An Impossible Attraction as much as I enjoyed writing it. I wanted Stephen and Alexandras story to be a bit off the beaten path, and hopefully youll be intrigued by their trials and tribulations. And now I am happy to announce that the story you have been waiting forand asking me foris on its way to you! I am halfway through Alexi and Elysses epic love story, which will be released later in 2010.
This is truly a thrill ride! As you know from A Dangerous Love , Alexi married Elysse in 1833then left her at the altar and hasnt seen his bride in the six-year interim. In An Impossible Attraction , Elysse and Alexi are ecstatically together, with a child on the way. So what happened, exactly?
I always follow my muse. That is why I wrote these stories out of order; I simply wasnt ready to delve into Elysse and Alexis incredibly intense and passionate love story. The novel opens in the spring of 1833, with Alexi returning home after a two-and-a-half-year absence. Elysse cant wait to see him, and to get his attention, she flirts shamelesslywith his friend. Her reckless flirtation leads to murder and marriageand to Alexi coldly and furiously leaving Elysse right after their wedding vows are exchanged.
Six years later, Elysse is one of Londons reigning socialites. And Alexi has become a national icona China trader, he has set the record for the Canton to London run, and has been the first ship home two years in a row. Outwardly, Elysse is the woman every other woman wishes to bebeautiful, gracious, witty and wealthy, and not only are her invitations fought over, she is married to one of the countrys most dashing men. But Elysse has spent six years maintaining a terrible pretensethat her life is exactly as she wishes it to be, and that her marriage is a successful one. But that lie is about to be exposed.
That spring, when Alexis ship is spotted off Plymouth, Elysse is convinced by her friends to greet him at the docks. Obviously he is not expecting her; obviously he has gone to great pains to avoid her. After six years, their reunion finally takes place. And nothing has changed. He is furious with herand she is furious with him. But now he intends to stay in London, and she instantly realizes he must play the role of a proper husband, because her pride is at stake.
And so begins the clash of love, pride and passion!
I cant wait to share their story with you!
Happy reading,
Always,
Brenda Joyce

For Sue Ball, one of the most generous and caring spirits I have ever known. My heartfelt thanks for so many years of kindness, friendship and support to me and my family.
T HERE WAS SO MUCH LIGHT , and Alexandra hesitated, confused.
Alexandra? her mother whispered from the bed.
Gold-and-burgundy wallpaper adorned the walls, and dark draperies were closed over the bedrooms two windows. The bureau was a dark, rich mahogany, as was the bed, and the bedding was wine and gold. The rooms single armchair was a dark, intense red. Yet the light within almost blinded her. I am here, Mother, she whispered back.
And then, because Elizabeth Bolton was dying and would not last another night, because she had wasted away from the cancer eating at her, because she was so frail and weak now that she could barely see, much less hear, Alexandra hurried forward. She held back the tears. She hadnt cried, not even once, not even when her father had told her that her mother had a terrible and fatal disease. It hadnt been a shock. Elizabeth had been fading away before Alexandra and her younger sisters eyes for months. Being the eldestall of seventeenmeant she had to hold the family together now in this crisis.
Alexandra rushed to her mothers side, her heart clenching as she looked at her gaunt, unrecognizable face and frame. Elizabeth had been so beautiful, so lively, so alive. She was only thirty-eight years old now, but she looked ninety.
Alexandra sat, reaching for her thin, frail hands. Father said you wished to see me, Mother. What can I get you? Do you want a sip of water?
Elizabeth smiled wanly, lying prone on the large bed, dwarfed by the pillows behind her, the blankets over her. Angels, she whispered. Can you see them?
Alexandra felt the tears rise. She batted her lashes furiously. Her mother needed her, as did her two sisters, who were only seven and nine. Father needed her, toothough he was locked in the library with his gin. But now she understood the odd light in the room, and the equally strange warmth. I cant see them, but I can feel them. Are you afraid?
