Alicia's Possession

A thrilling and sensual romantic suspense!

Following the horrific car crash that left her in a coma for two months, Alicia Pageant has returned to her affluent lakeside home to recuperate and come to terms with her husband's infidelity and their impending divorce, which has left her with depression and despondent to the point of agoraphobia.

Her attention is frequently captured by the violent arguments of Daniel and Judith Holloman who recently moved into the house on the other side of the lake. One night she is awoken by gunshots and other strange noises coming from across the lake; and, after witnessing what she believes is someone driving away with a body and never seeing Daniel again, Alicia insists on calling the police, against the advice of her estranged husband, who believes she has imagined it.

Detective Mason Crawley is sent out to investigate the "suspicious incident," which he considers a nuisance call - even more so after learning of Alicia's recent head injury and watching her take her pain medication with wine. He interviews Judith Holloman, who says her husband has gone out of the country on business, but the stories of both women begin to unravel when he sees the two of them meeting. Then while attempting to locate Daniel, someone claiming to be a contractor with the Department of Defense warns him not to investigate Daniel's disappearance further.

Mason confronts Alicia and demands an explanation, and she is forced to admit that her head injury has left her with no memory of the accident or the several weeks before. Still she insists not only that Daniel is dead but now he is haunting her because she knows he was murdered.

Alicia's palpable sadness and vulnerability awaken his dominant instinct to protect, but will he push her too far too fast?  Although he cannot control his increasing attraction to her, Mason isn't sure if Alicia is lying, delusional, or in some sort of danger. This leads him to look into her drunk-driving accident, in which she drove her BMW into a lake several miles from her house; but something about the single-car crash doesn't add up either.

Even as they succumb to their growing feelings and desires, Alicia doesn't know if she can trust anyone after her husband's disloyalty; and when Mason discovers that the night of Alicia's accident she had gone to confront her husband's mistress - and no one has seen the girl since - he doesn't know if he can trust her either. And now he has yet another mystery to solve, with Alicia at the heart of it.

"A great story. It's got everything - sex, crime, cops, more sex, a twisted mystery, knot tying, and a superb denouement."  -Chuck Hustmyre, screenwriter and bestselling author of The Axman of New Orleans
