Description:
Loti Dupree fears that
when her husband died, she lost her soul. Harboring a painful secret,
she flees her life in a small Appalachian town for the ashram, the
spiritual retreat where she trained to be a yogini. But she is running
from more than grief. An ominous nightmare the night before she leaves
sets her on a dangerous path of self-discovery that challenges
everything she believes – and threatens her life.
While dodging psychic attacks from an unknown assailant, she struggles with her growing attraction to a broody, handsome and completely frustrating vampire. Love and light are waiting for her—if she can only figure out how to stay alive. Loti races to understand who and what she is before her anonymous enemy catches up with her.
Loti thought she couldn’t survive her husband’s death, but among healers, witches, and vampires, she discovers not only a future, but a family.

Loti Dupree’s meager healing
abilities have been more a curse than a blessing. What’s the point if she can’t even save her
husband from cancer?
What do you get when you mix
vampires, yogis and healers? Enlightened!
Vampires and healers and yogis,
OH MY! There’s light and love waiting
for Loti Dupree, if only she can figure out how to stay alive.
Excerpt:
You
can’t escape, Loti.
She snapped her head up, spluttered and
spit as the water filled her nose and mouth. She heard that voice somewhere
before, but she couldn’t remember where. “No,” she whimpered.
You
are only fooling yourself if you think you can run away.
She squeezed her eyes shut while
thinking, this is not real, this is not
real.
Oh,
but it is, sweet Loti, you are what you are and cannot fight it.
Loti trembled as something thick and
hot and paralyzing slithered through the small shower space, her teeth chattering.
This
is who you are –you are
“No,” she screamed so hard and so loud
her throat seized up, and she dissolved into coughing spasms. The living heat
squirmed its way through her chest, up her throat, filling her nose. She clawed
at her throat and face. Dizzy, so dizzy. Don’t
faint, don’t faint. She slipped and fell backwards into the tub. She had
one more moment to think, don’t hit your
head, and then all was black.
About the author:
Melissa Lummis considers herself a truth seeker, a peaceful warrior, a paranormal and fantasy writer, an avid reader, a thru-hiker GAME ’98, a wife, a mother, and a free thinker. She believes the universe conspires to help an adventurer. And if we live our lives as if it is a daring adventure (and it is!), then everything we need will find its way to us.
The author lives in rural Virginia with her husband, two children, an Alaskan Malamute and a myriad of forest creatures. The nature of her mind dictates that she write to stay sane. Otherwise, her fertile imagination takes off on tangents of its own accord, creating scenarios and worlds that confuse the space-time continuum. Namaste, dear friends.
