A chance encounter seals the fate of a reclusive farmer and a mysterious woman on the run from a man who will stop at nothing to control her–including murder.

Ray Chavez doesn’t believe in visions or omens or the mysticism of his Mexican/Indian heritage. When he’s awakened by the spirit of this great-grandmother with a message that something is coming, Ray passes it off as a bad dream. But he may just reconsider his position when he finds Lexie Solis stranded on the edge of town, in search of a new life. Ray feels an instant attraction, as well as a connection, to the skittish young woman, and he pursues a relationship with her. But what Lexie doesn’t tell Ray or his family, is that she is on the run from an abusive ex-boyfriend and he may be more powerful than even she wants to believe. When Lexie is assaulted by an unseen force, they learn that the man she is hiding from is a master of the dark arts and his obsession with Lexie goes beyond his need to control her; he wants to possess her soul as well. As their past lives parallel, Lexie’s only hope for salvation is in Ray’s hands.

Can he accept his destiny in time to save the woman he loves?

What genre is this?
A Multicultural Romantic Suspense with supernatural elements.

That’s an interesting mix. Who is it aimed at?
Readers who enjoy romantic suspense and/or paranormal stories involving magic.

If you like Nora Roberts or Catherine Coulter’s work, you’ll love my book.

What more do we need to know about Ray?
Ray Chavez loves his family–grandparent’s and sister, Sylvia–and has always planned to take over running the family farm. He’s been burned by love, his former fiancé leaving him weeks before the wedding because she didn’t believe he had any more ambition than being a farmer. He’s put a lock on his heart and is resigned to being single….until he meets Lexie.

Tell us about her.
Lexie has spent five years in New York with a man she believed she loved until she realizes he’s been controlling and manipulating her. Although she never believed the rumors of her ex—-that he practices black magic—when the friend she sought solace from is killed in a hit & run, she flees NY and ends up in the Rio Grande Valley, Texas where she meets Ray.

The attraction is instant, but Lexie is hesitant to get close because of what happened to her friend, and she doesn’t want to put Ray or his family in danger. Ray tries to pursue a relationship with her, but keeps a lock on his heart because he won’t risk having it broken again.

Only Sylvia, Ray’s younger sister and a spiritualist, knows the two belong together but it will take some planning to get either of them to admit it before Lexie’s ex finds them.

Have you written any other books that we should read next?
Dark Obsession is my fourth book and my second self-published work. The other three are available in e-book format as well. Her Will His Way–contemporary romance novella Forget Me Not–romantic suspense House of Cards— award winning romantic suspense.

Tell us a bit about yourself.
I’m a mix of Mexican and Honduran and was born and raised in a small Texas town best known as the birthplace of Janis Joplin. I began writing in 2003, after spending several years ‘training’ myself…and after my youngest started school full time. I have four children, all out of school now. I’ve been married 22 years to my soul mate–a retired Coast Guard Petty Officer. When I’m not writing or editing other manuscripts, I enjoy reading, watching movies and losing money at the casino (okay not really the losing part)
