Desert Kiss: A Short Story
This short story was previously published under the title La Mirage.
Is their passion real,
or only a mirage?
On a lonely stretch of I-95 in the
middle of the Nevada desert, journalist Savanna Blaine and photographer Ben Lantano
find themselves stranded by engine trouble on their way back from an assignment.
Their quest for a gas station leads them to a beautiful resort nestled in a
secluded canyon where they are the only guests.
Invited to
spend the night in lush accommodations, passion flares between Savanna and Ben
who have suppressed their hidden desires long enough. A single touch ignites an
unforgettable night in each other’s arms, but the next day, when the resort
mysteriously disappears, they’re left to wonder, is their newfound intimacy
real or nothing more than a trick of the summer heat?
