New Book Release: Consumed
Consumed by Sandra Sookoo
Sometimes the destination is not as important as the journey.
Ava Lesarris has her life figured out. She has a great job, has accepted her latent wolf shifter identity and is looking forward to climbing the corporate ladder. When a faulty GPS unit leads her to a town called Destiny, she’s in a quandary, even more so when she’s suddenly transported back to the year 1899.
Sam Tremaine is the last of his kind. He’s a Phoenix, living in the brand new town of Destiny—a safe haven for rag-tag paranormals, but he can’t enjoy it. He’s dying which leaves him with one regret. He’s never found a woman whose spirit is as strong as his own. He wants be remembered but time is running out, not to mention he hasn’t been able to get “it” up for years.
Worlds collide as the past and present come together. Ava will need to figure out her purpose while Sam struggles to come to terms with his fate. If they’re lucky, the special town will offer the answers they’re both seeking before the next phase of life begins.
