Writing in My Wildest Dreams
Actor Trenton Dane is researching his next role when a brush with beautiful psychic Glory Windsor grants him her power...and sizzling glimpses of their future.
When the reluctant psychic disappears before he can discover her name, he must launch a search for the sultry woman who haunts his dreams. Can he come to grips with his mysterious new power in time to fulfill a passionate destiny...and save Glory from certain danger?
Excerpt
The vision struck Trenton Dane as he stooped over a drinking fountain to relieve the parching effects of the August Southern California sun. For that was what he considered an encounter with a beautiful woman. Perhaps it was overly poetic, he thought, but as an artist he was required to stop and revel in the study of beauty wherever and whenever it appeared.
An acting career had afforded him vast opportunity in this regard, surrounding him with Hollywood's most stunning examples of beauty. As such, his most recent studies had been conducted in the arms of model-turned-actress Giselle Roberts. Though he could not honestly say the vision now in his sights possessed the svelte, star-quality perfection of Tinsel Town's bevy, the jolt her approach caused him was enough to send a gurgling stream of water straight up his nose. And that, he reasoned, had to mean something.
A whiff of breeze fanned droplets of water on his face, providing a moment of cool relief. The sandstone building in front of him radiated intense heat, wilting the numerous visitors lined up outside. Widely spaced overhead beams offered scant protection.
If this place insists on baking people in an outdoor oven, he thought, they should at least put in a misting system.
His attention returned to the attractive woman as he dried the dark sunglasses worn to conceal his identity. Rubbing the lenses absently on his jeans, he catalogued likely reasons for his reaction. She was not beautiful in the classic Hollywood sense, but a head-turner nonetheless. She was maybe chin height to his six feet, the virtual waterfall of hair cascading to her waist similar to the color of the custom paint job on his Porsche. Caramel Apple, they'd called it. A lacy knit top and snug denims--with tantalizing lace inserts exposing patches of newly tanned skin--revealed a rounded, voluptuous array of curves quite unlike the near-anorexic condition Giselle maintained to beg the camera's favor. Perhaps most striking, however, was the way this woman carried herself with an ethereal quality he admitted was only in part due to being backlit and glowing from the late afternoon sun. Her almost-angular face wore an expression of ease with the world around her, and faceted emerald eyes seemed privy to some secret that prickled the edges of his curiosity.
The vision floated by without noticing him. He was returning his sunglasses to their proper perch when his cell phone chirped.

Life couldn't be better for Trenton Dane. Young, sexy, and hotter than a pot of grits, Hollywood's newest A-lister has just landed the big-screen role of a lifetime, and his rendezvous with superstardom is set. Better yet, his unlimited potential has turned his name into sugar in the mouths of many a lady-in-waiting...
On the other hand, life for Glory Windsor couldn't be worse. Recently divorced from her philandering, gadabout husband, she's been forced into the lonely world of single motherhood & low-wage employment, wondering daily what, if anything, she could have done differently to have directed her life down a better path. Worse yet, she remains haunted by the repressed pain of a lifelong secret she's been forced to keep...
Traveling down these diametrically opposed paths, a chance encounter - and accidental collision - between Trenton and Glory one day jars the very foundation of their lives and forever alters both their realities. Suddenly, Trenton becomes unwittingly aware of Glory's lifelong secret, and his newfound knowledge begins to affect his life in ways he can't explain. Eventually, the only thing he knows for sure is that their individual pasts will unite to play a critical role in a future of their mutual creation...
In Visions, Lisa Logan has created an engaging tale of star-crossed strangers unsure of the reason for their mysterious connection - yet compelled by it nonetheless. Trenton and Glory couldn't be any more different from one another: he, a magnetic charmer with the Midas touch; she, a small town loner with modest aspirations. Yet, when they find themselves suddenly linked together by the common thread of visions and other unexplained phenomena, you can't help rooting for them throughout all the ever-emerging obstacles threatening to drive them, and their love, apart. At the peak of its fateful climax, this fast-paced story so engrosses you that you find yourself transformed into the characters themselves, believing - as they do - that you have just as much control over the final dramatic outcome...
Visions is a slick, entertaining read sure to make you think twice about whether or not your free will is really "free" after all... |
