BLUE CLOUDS

Around the small California town where Pippa Cochran has fled to escape an abusive boyfriend, Seth Wyatt is called the Grim Reaper-and not just because he is a bestselling author of horror novels. He's an imposing presence, battling more inner demons than even an indefatigable woman like Pippa can handle. Yet, while in his employ, she can't resist the emotional pull of his damaged son or the chance to hide in the fortress he calls a home.

Then Pippa's amazing gifts begin to alter their world in ways none of them could have imagined. But soon something goes wrong. Dangerous “accidents” occur, threatening to destroy the tremulous new love that Pippa and Seth have dared to discover.
