Book Description

THE NECESSARY HUNGER! A foreign phrase to sedate English professor, Olivia Anderson, unless one were referring to food and such. However, Olivia learns the erotic meaning when she's enticed to take a walk on the wild side and attends an all male revue with a distinct urban edge. There, hidden desires are brought forth especially by one dancer known only as Flava. Returning from her adventure only slightly singed, Professor Anderson gets the shock of her life the first day of the semester when none other than Flava is sitting front and center in her classroom.

From that point on, Olivia's world becomes a roller coaster ride of self-discovery where she will either face her deepest fears and possibly discover the love of her life...or endure great anguish.

About the Author

Author, Edwina Martin-Arnold, remembers her mother's proclamation made long ago. "You're either going to be a lawyer or a writer because you're always debating with me about something or scribbling in a notebook." Edwina's mother knew her well because with the publication of Eve's Prescription, Edwina has become both an attorney and an author.

Edwina was born in Texas and grew up in Washington State. She attended the University of Washington where she met and married her husband, John. After working for two years as a buyer at Boeing, Edwina left to attend law school at the University of Puget Sound. Upon graduation, Edwina became a prosecutor. She enjoyed a seven-year career before she left to spend more time with her three children. It was during this time that Edwina was able to fulfill her life long fantasy of becoming a romance writer. She is currently working on her fifth book.
