RITA© AWARD FINALIST
NJRW GOLDEN LEAF AWARD FINALIST
 
A NEW TWIST ON THE CLASSIC BEAUTY AND THE BEAST TALE!
Innes Munro has the ability to "read" a person's past simply by touching them, but her gift comes with a heavy price. Forced to stay at desolate Castle Girnigoe, Innes never expects to be drawn to the wounded warrior who haunts its dark passages.
Conall Sinclair, the earl of Caithness, carries the scars of battles with the English and the lash marks of their dungeons, but the wounds that fester within give him even greater pain. Isolating himself from his clan and the rest of the world in a tower perched on the wild Scottish coast, Conall is reluctant to let the spirited Innes close to him.
As their passion grows, Innes fears that her gift is a curse. Could Conall ever love a woman who can read his darkest secrets and feel the pain he hides…and can love tame all fears? As dangerous forces close in, they must forge a bond of trust that will save them both...or lose each other forever.

    Evelyn Jefferson has literally become invisible—it is like she doesn't even exist. Nobody can see her, nobody can hear her. Only securing the love of her soulmate, a boy who sees her only in his dreams, will change her fate. 
    Do you know who you are—really? Evelyn is a 17 year old high school student living in New Orleans, Louisiana. She has never been popular—always the social enigma, in spite of her stellar academic and athletic abilities. It’s not because she hasn't tried. Something else is up, and it all comes to a head when her parents are mysteriously gunned down by a man in black. 
    Evelyn is the only witness to the crime, but she can't tell anyone what happened. She has become invisible. Worse, it's is like she doesn't even exist. Nobody can see her, nobody can hear her. And if she touches them? They still don't acknowledge her! It's maddening, and she is truly, completely alone. Then she meets a guy who can see her... only in his dreams. He thinks he's in love with her, but he doesn't know she's real. Can Evelyn make contact and change her fate? Will she ever find her parents' killers? Or will she forever be INVISIBLE?
