As her 25th birthday approaches, Riley Sparrow begins to
dream of a handsome, intriguing stranger. Each night the dreams get more
intense and the stranger starts leaving her clues to his whereabouts. The dreams
always end in a whisper…
Find Me.

birthright her entire life. She descends from a strong line of witches and
warlocks, but she's refused her powers up until now. With the help of her
estranged grandfather she learns that her mystery man is from the past and his
life is in danger. Will her grandfather help her travel back to 1963 to save
the man she believes she's meant to be with? A man she knows nothing about but feels a strong connection to.
If she finds him, can she save him from the evil that haunts
them both? By securing his past, she knows there can never be a future for them
in her time.

Excerpt
Riley closed her eyes and let the heat of the water engulf her tired muscles.
Resting her head against the bath pillow, she cleared her mind. The steam
seeped out from the bubbles and swirled around the room. Soon the mirror and
windows were fogged and a scented mist surrounded the bathroom, creating a
relaxing atmosphere. A week’s worth of sleepless nights had taken their toll
and Riley drifted off.
“Sorry,”
he said. “I was afraid the water would overflow.”
“Am
I awake?”
He
shook his head. She noted his green eyes sparkled even in the dim lighting of
the bathroom.
“Well,
then how—”
“It’s
complicated.” His thin, pink lips formed a small smile. “I can’t explain now.”
“Why
not?”
“There isn’t enough time to make you understand while you’re in your
current state. We need much more time. You
can get that for us.”
“Are
you real or am I crazy?”
“I’m
very real, just stuck between realms. I’ve been waiting for you for a long
time.” He slid off the side of the tub and knelt down on the floor. “I’m afraid
I can’t stay very long. I keep trying to figure out how to increase the length
of my visits but nothing seems to work.”
“I
don’t know you.”
“You
will.” He reached for the clip in her hair. “May I?”
She
nodded.
Once he’d freed her hair from its confines, he smoothed the damp locks
out with his hand. “I like when you wear it
down. It’s so pretty.” He continued to stroke her hair. “You’re just as
beautiful as I remember.”
“How
do you know me?” She shifted her position to face him. She breathed in his
crisp scent. He smelled of spice, maybe a hint of cinnamon.
“I…”
He trailed off when his gaze caught her exposed breasts. He looked lost in a
distant memory.
When
she’d turned to face him she’d upset the bubbles shielding her. Her nipples
hardened as she watched him take in her flesh. She no longer felt embarrassed.
“I
have to go.”
“You keep leaving me. I don’t like it.” Each
time he left, he took a small piece of her with him.
“That’s
why you need to find me.” He leaned forward. “I know you can. You’re very
powerful.” He brushed his lips against her mouth. A rush of warmth coursed
through her and settled between her legs. “Find me, Riley.” He kissed the
corner of her mouth, lingering a second longer than usual. She took the
opportunity to run her tongue along his soft lips. “Find me now.”
“How?”
She wanted more than anything to find this man. “What do I need to do?”
“Tucker…”
he whispered.
“What?”
Riley slipped off the bath pillow and under the cold water.
She quickly sat up and looked around. The bubbles had evaporated into the
freezing water.
Did she turn the faucet off? Or did…
I
must be crazy.
She thought for a moment. Her mystery man had left her a big
clue tonight. Now she needed to figure out what Tucker Sparrow had to do with
any of this. It looked as if she would be paying a visit to a man she hadn’t
seen in a decade.
