A
Gentle Sun Coming
When Kade Turner lost her husband and son to a freak automobile accident,
she tried to commit suicide and was hospitalized for a year. Daily sessions
with Dr. Luke Bradshaw brought her back to the land of the living… and also of
loving. Or so she made him believe, as an unexpected and suppressed emotion is
kindled and an eternal flame ignited on the night of her departure. She flees
to Destin, Florida with the goal of being reunited with her family ‘on the
other side’; unable to believe Luke could love a ‘lost cause’ like herself.
Instead, she is targeted by a serial killer who sees her as a challenge.
Unbeknownst to Kade, her worst nightmare is her next door neighbor; a man who
knows her every move and hears even her thoughts. Will Luke find her in time? Is what they
shared strong enough to turn a determination to die into an undeniable desire
to live? Represented by Loiacono Literary Agency www.loiaconoliteraryagency.com
