He's escaped from a maximum-security penitentiary designed to house the most ruthless of criminals. Now alleged biker gang leader Dace Devereux is on the run, wanted for inciting one of the biggest prison riots in history. But it's not the cops, or the Canadian penal system, that dominate Dace's thoughts. Instead, it's his cousin Liza-a gifted college student, now with child, beginning her master's degree at the University of Toronto. As Dace, filled with thoughts of his cousin, migrates south to Mexico to find where the monarch butterflies spend their winter, Liza faces a new set of challenges at home in Maitland.

The second of three novels about the Devereux cousins, "Feeling for the Air" combines the electricity of a forbidden romance in the early 1970s with breathtaking plot twists as two lovers who wish to roam as wild and free as butterflies are dealt a difficult and unforgiving fate.
