Pictures of Emily was the last of four romances Theresa wrote for Silhouette Books. Heat rating: 1 out of 10Excerpt:Emily stared spellbound at the man beside her.Sonny Maxwell. The Sonny Maxwell. And he’d saved her from drowning.It didn’t seem possible, but he was even more beautiful in person. It wasn’t his looks that mesmerized her, though. It was the soft glow of light she could sense shimmering around him.White, with a hint of gray... The color confused her. A person like Sonny Maxwell couldn’t have such an aura.His hand was still grasping hers. She looked down. Beneath his fingertips, where their skin touched, was a warm lavender glow.Lavender. The color of humanity.Dazed, confused, she looked up from their joined hands. “You... you’re white,” she said, forcing the words through frozen lips. A gust of wind cut through her, and she shivered violently.His eyes narrowed with concern. “You’re blue. And getting bluer.”“You c-can s-see auras, t-too?”“Auras?” A shiver shook his shoulders. He muttered something about signs of delirium, then shoved himself to his feet, extending a hand to her. “Come on. We’ve got to get moving.”About the author:Theresa Weir (a.k.a.
