Erotic Paranormal Romance

Present Day

For her thirtieth birthday, Dana Kavanagh has agreed to go to a costume party with her friend Jenny, who hopes that Dana will find some lucky man to make her birthday memorable. In actuality, Dana would rather spend it at home, watching TV and talking to the handsome man in the picture that has been her companion for many, many years. Little does Dana know that the man in the portrait is real, and he's heard and seen everything she's ever done in his presence.

Trapped in the painting by a vengeful witch for nine hundred years, Conn Hennessey can't believe it when he is released from his prison...by the very woman who captured him. For one Halloween night, Conn will be allowed to roam among the living, and he knows just how he wants to spend it. He's been in love with Dana ever since she matured into a young woman, watching as she went through the ups and downs of teenage life, listening to her funny, and at times, sad tales of her life. Can Conn convince Dana that he's the man from her portrait, and prove his love to her before he's once again sent back to his painted prison?

Nine hundred years is a hell of a long time to be punished for not loving a woman as much as she wants. But what started out to be a curse is in fact a blessing in disguise for Conn in PICTURE PERFECT. To understand love, he was kept imprisoned until he felt the kind of love that the witch did for him. And boy, does he know what that emotion is now. Dana invades his every thought, and he damns the circumstances that keep him from her, until the magic that stole his life now offers him a new one. Dana lives a very simple life, and she's perfectly content with that. Until the stranger at the costume party shows her what she's been missing. Jayne Rylon has woven a sweet, yet suggestive short story of two lonely hearts whom magic will bring together.
