The Dream

Some Secrets Haunt You Forever….

Every night Genny Austin is tormented by nightmares of a past she can’t recall. Crazy as it sounds, Genny is convinced her harrowing dreams are memories of another life she lived long ago.

Jack Brennan is having nightmares too, but his are real. His business is under siege and his life is being threatened. When Genny and Jack meet one night on a Santa Barbara beach, all Jack wants from Genny is a wild night and quick good-bye, but Genny isn’t the sort for a one night stand.

Drawn to each other by feelings neither she nor Jack understand, Genny finds herself inexorably lured into a world of passion and deadly riddles. In the shadows of her dreams lurks a terrible truth, and only by unlocking the secrets of the past will she be free to find love at last.

Excerpt From The Dream

“Pretty rough week?” Jack asked as they walked along the sand at the edge of the beach.Genny sighed into the darkness. “Not one of my best. I’ve been napping a little, which the doctor says I shouldn’t do, since it disturbs my normal sleeping patterns, but I haven’t really gotten much rest.”

“And the dreams?”

She glanced away, her expression suddenly bleak. “Really bad, Jack. I don’t know what I’m going to do.”

“I’m sorry, baby. I wish I knew what to tell you.”

He was certain he knew how to help her, if only she would let him. He eyed her high soft breasts, remembering the way they’d felt in his hands. He wanted her. He had since the moment he had met her. Then he thought of the promise he had made and forced his eyes back to her face. “It’s getting kind of late. Maybe we ought to be going back.”

She simply nodded. They made their way back along the beach,
but when they finally reached the house, Genny made no effort to go in.

“Genny…baby, are you all right?”

She only shook her head. “I can’t do it, Jack. I can’t face it again tonight.” She looked up at him and tears glistened in her soft brown eyes. “I keep thinking about my nightmares, the terrible things I’ll see. Come inside with me, Jack. Make love to me.”

Jack took a long slow breath of air. Taking Genny to bed was what he’d been after from the start. Still, he knew the kind of man he was, not the sort for a girl like Genny. “You know he way I am…the way I’ll always be. Are you sure that’s what
you want?”

Her lashes swept down but they couldn’t hide the tear that trickled down her cheek. “I need you, Jack. I want you to stay with me, make love to me. I want you to help me forget my dreams. I want you to make me think only of you and the things you do to me. Make me forget, Jack–if only for tonight.”
