Synopsis

"It grabbed my attention and kept me riveted to the end. I couldn't wait to read this work, which offers everything: romance, sex, BDSM elements, crime, mystery, compelling characters, and a gripping plot. I read the novel in just a couple of hours, never putting it down." -Masquerade Crew **INCLUDES SPECIAL BONUS MATERIAL** Following the horrific car crash that left her in a coma for two months, Alicia Pageant has returned to her affluent lakeside home to recuperate and come to terms with her husband's infidelity and their impending divorce, which has left her depressed and despondent to the point of agoraphobia. Her attention is frequently captured by the violent arguments of Daniel and Judith Holloman who recently moved into the house on the other side of the lake. One night she is awoken by gunshots and other strange noises coming from across the lake. After witnessing what she believes is someone driving away with a body and never seeing Daniel again, Alicia insists on calling the police, against the advice of her estranged husband who believes she has imagined it. Detective Mason Crawley is sent out to investigate the "suspicious incident," which he considers a nuisance call - even more so after learning of Alicia's recent head injury and watching her take her pain medication with wine. Mason interviews Judith Holloman, who says her husband has gone out of the country on business, but the stories of both women begin to unravel when he sees the two of them meeting. Then while attempting to locate Daniel, someone claiming to be a contractor with the Department of Defense warns him not to investigate Daniel's disappearance further. Mason confronts Alicia and demands an explanation, and she is forced to admit that her head injury has left her with no memory of the accident or the several weeks before. Still she insists not only that Daniel is dead but now he is haunting her because she knows he was murdered. Alicia's palpable sadness and vulnerability awaken Mason

About this title

About the Author:

Colette Saucier is the bestselling author of PULSE AND PREJUDICE —the paranormal adaptation of Jane Austen’s classic—which retells the story from Mr. Darcy’s point of view as a vampire. Colette was selected a “2013 Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award Semi-finalist” and Austenprose's “Debut Author of the Year” for 2012. Her novel ALL MY TOMORROWS was named "2013 Favorite Modern Adaptation" by Austenesque Reviews. Colette has been writing poems, short stories, and novellas since grade school. Her interest in literature led her to marry her college English professor, but eventually a love of history encouraged her to trade up to a British historian. Technical writing has dominated Colette’s career for the past twenty years, but finding little room for creativity in that genre, she dedicated fifteen months traveling to Europe and Britain, researching Regency England and vampire lore and literature, to complete her first full-length novel PULSE AND PREJUDICE. She is currently researching and writing a sequel entitled DEAREST BLOODIEST ELIZABETH set in Antebellum New Orleans, as well as the romantic suspense thriller, THE WIDOW. Colette lives in South Louisiana with her historian husband and their two dogs. www.facebook.com/ColetteSaucierAuthor www.colettesaucier.com colettesaucier.blogspot.com .
