Eye contact

In this riveting first novel, actor Stephen Collins entices us into the world of Nicolette Stallings - Nick - a New York actress whose best performances are off-screen, in her dangerous relations with men. He is a perfect, very proper stranger, sitting across the trendy restaurant with his wife. Wally Wall Street, Nick dubs him. But when their eyes meet Nick can tell he's trying to connect. She knows she should finish her dinner, say good night to her date, get ready for an early audition. But already a reckless fantasy is taking shape in Nick's mind. And the oh-so-proper stranger will be its star. She'll make it easy for him - but hard too. It has to be that night. No names. They'll never see each other again. And if he doesn't show up he wasn't worth it, anyway, because for Nick, sex must always come with a risk. What she doesn't know is that this time she's met a man who'll flaunt her rules, violate her anonymity. Pushed to the brink, he'll take Nick with him. And before he's done, she will stand alone...suspected of murder. Erotic, unpredictable, compulsively readable, Eye Contact is the debut of a natural storyteller who makes Nicolette Stallings's best and worst impulses powerfully, irresistibly real.
