In the New York Times–bestselling author’s heart-pounding romantic thriller, a psychic and a man plagued by visions search for a killer. A tragic accident left Gabriel Donner in a coma and his parents dead. Now that he’s awake he’s experiencing something even more traumatizing: dreams of grisly acts committed by a deranged serial killer—dreams that keep coming true. In vivid detail Gabriel dreams of victims struck on the head and left with a single, thorn-less rose—almost as if he were the one doing the killing. He knows things about the murders that haven’t been made public, and he’s well-aware that telling the police would only implicate him in the crimes. With nowhere left to turn and fearing for his sanity, Gabriel accepts the help of psychic Laura Dane. As they work together to decipher his visions, their relationship becomes something more. But as long as the killer is out there, no one is safe. With twists that will shock you, Reunion is a fast-paced romantic thriller with a love story that will make you believe in the unseen.
"Miss Smith, the wealthy old lady who died recently near Chapel Hill, and who bequeathed a large sum of money to the State University, did not fail to remember her old slaves, of whom six are now living," read the New York Times, December 6, 1885. But the Times got it wrong: land, not money, was left to the University of North Carolina and five of Mary Ruffin Smith's former slaves. Four were also her nieces--sired by her two bachelor brothers--and all had the same mother, the Smiths' maid Harriet. A spinster, Mary raised the girls, baptized them into the Episcopal Church, married them to respectable biracial men and left each 100 acres in her will. The result of eight years of research, this book tells the story of the Smith family and the fortune that survived the profligacy of Mary's father before being willed to the university and the North Carolina Episcopal diocese. Every "legitimate" member of the family lies in a small cemetery near the former estate. Harriet was buried an unmarked grave somewhere in Orange County. The hundreds of descendants of her daughters have been virtually ignored--this book is for them.
A young architect finds himself unexpectedly involved in murder, fraud, identity theft in the development industry in Los Angeles, California.
