    Prologue
    A message from Jeanette Lagrange, founder of Moonlight Dating .
    There were times in history when the sun was
revered, its light a guide for travellers, a solace for the weak.
    The moonlight, however, has always been a time
for reflection, a time for yearning and indulging in a bit of philosophy. A time when lovers tryst and weary souls can finally find a place
to rest. Kisses feel softer, a touch more electric, under the tender
vigilance of our sister, the Moon.
    Who knows what secrets simmer in the night?
Even I cannot grasp the full dimension of their reach. The Moon, in all her
understated radiance, has many answers to give, many riddles to solve, and many
hearts to heal.
    The Moon illuminates a path to redemption and
happiness, and gives me visions of a different world. Sometimes they’re
otherworldly visions, sometimes they’re as natural as the gentle ripple of the
water left by the motion of an indolent oar, its handler unhurried, thoughtful.
Because of this, I know that in the moonlight, the impossible can happen.
Strong bonds are forged, and others are mended. Lives become whole.
    We often hear of the bad, sordid deeds that
happen at night time. Illicit sex, crime, cruelty – we thus fear the night. But
I, a willing optimist, want to offer a different kind of reality, for my sake
as well as yours. I want to give you a night that is radiant, beautiful,
sensual, carnal . A night in which all the faces of
love can be at arm’s reach, if you will them to.
    Many are more apt to grasp life’s gifts from
the shadows, because they are used to small expectations and are afraid of
risk. They must allow themselves to slowly become acclimated to the change…
because those who hesitate to abandon themselves in the blinding heat of the
sun may feel newfound courage when the moon takes the reins of the skies and
shines on infinity along with its shimmering cohorts, the stars.
    I created Moonlight Dating to get you started
on this journey to wanting more, expecting more, to give you all your heart’s
desires. Nothing’s up to chance.   If you
don’t believe this is possible, I dare you to take the plunge. For every
designed encounter, I need a man, a woman, a perfect match. If it’s there, I
will find it for you. Give me one night, one chance, to wake your dreams in the
moonlight…
    Yours,
    Jeanette Lagrange

    Chapter One

 
    A woman in need is her own worst enemy, if she
doesn’t follow her desires.
    Melita Saari -Quinn’s vacant stare meandered to the tall mirror as
she took stock of her life. A smeared reflection stared back at her – the best
her eyes allowed her, she being practically blind.
    But today,
her worries had nothing to do with her sight. Her work as a psychotherapist had
started weighing heavy of late. To try and strip away the burdens of others had
put more layers on her own shoulders.  
    Until all
she felt was the need to get away, to be free.
    Most of
her clients came to her office to resolve what she dubbed as pseudo
