**A psychic desperate to escape her destiny--and a killer--finds her
future in the coastal town of Burning Cove in New York Times
bestselling author Amanda Quick's latest novel.
**
Being Madame Ariadne, Psychic Dream Consultant, wasn't Prudence Ryland's
ideal gig, but it paid well which was reason enough to do the
work--until she realizes that her latest client intends to kill her. But
Prudence, a master at reinvention, finds a new job and home as far away
as possible and is finally able to relax--which turns out to be a big
mistake. Letting her guard down means being kidnapped and drugged and
waking up in a bloodstained wedding dress in the honeymoon suite next to
a dead man. With the press outside the hotel, waiting with their cameras
and police sirens in the distance, it's obvious she's being framed for
the man's murder. Prudence knows who is responsible, but will anyone
believe her?
It doesn't seem likely that rumored crime boss Luther Pell or his
associate, Jack Wingate, believe her seemingly outrageous claims of
being a target of a ruthless vendetta. In fact, Prudence is convinced
that the mysterious Mr. Wingate believes her to be a fraud at best, and
at worst: a murderer. And Jack Wingate does seem to be someone
intimately familiar with violence, if going by his scarred face and grim
expression. So no one is more shocked than Prudence when Jack says he'll
help her. Of course, his ideas for helping her involve using her as the
bait for a killer, but Prudence feels oddly safe with Jack protecting
her. But who will protect Prudence from her growing fascination with
this enigma of a man?
