Secrets can protect what the truth will destroy.  

 

Elidor MacKenzie has a gift she can't return—the ability to absorb the joy, pain, and suffering of others. She's spent her life running from what she considers her curse. Now, her best friend is dead, and she alone holds the key to an archaeological discovery that could destroy a culture. With newfound inner peace, Elidor has returned home to make amends and guard the secret revelation. But greed-driven scavengers have followed her. Once again, the energies of Joshua will stir the hurricane, with her at the deadly center.  

 

Jules never got over Elidor. Twenty years and a famous journalism career later, he's back in Joshua—and so is his first love. If his heart can stand the torture, he'll risk reviving their relationship. But saving Elidor from herself and the secret she won't give up may be the death of them both.  

 

With Jules by her side, Elidor is determined to outrun the scavengers, guard the secret, and renew their love. But fate is coming after her, and there's nowhere the couple can hide.

Excerpt: 

These last three months were akin to an awakening. Coming home presented the ultimate test. Being with her family, seeing Julien, and now the letters, pointed to the possibility she could once again claim the joy of her young childhood, before her mother died. Maybe. 

After tucking the read letter back inside her backpack, she lifted the last envelope marked for her to read when she reached her sixteenth birthday. She closed her eyes, called up her memory to her sixteenth year. With Harlan living in Phoenix and Magpie at school in Flagstaff, she and her dad had the house to themselves. They were close. Other than the typical teenage angst, which wasn’t always so typical for her, life was happy. Separating her emotions from her best friends’ problems presented a challenge she couldn’t always manage. So right, Mom. And she met Julien that year. 

She opened her eyes, slipped her index finger under the flap, and tore the envelope open. 

 

My lovely young woman, my daughter, 

Womanhood is upon you. As you navigate these tumultuous waters, love will find you and send you into a new ocean of emotions. Perhaps you have already experienced the pangs of love. If so, I wish for you that your clairsentient abilities have not gotten in your way but have helped and enriched your relationship. 

 

“If only.” She’d nearly drowned in that ocean of emotions. If she fell in love’s waters again, could she swim in those emotions without drowning? Treading water might be worth the risk when it came to love. “But will I find another Julien?” 

“Highly unlikely,” Julien answered.
