The Golden Desires

Destiny over time and distance...

Eager to be away from the noise, population, stress, and busyness of a big city, Trent Solace has embarked on a journey of escape. Hiking in the wilderness is just what he needed. Getting away from everything and everyone brings him much needed solitude and peace.

As his trek lengthens, Trent starts to dream of a woman, who in turn has started to dream of him. He sights a structure on top of a mountain and is determined to reach it to explore. Once he arrives, he meets Isabella. He can see her but he cannot see the people of her village. She can see him but no-one else can. Is one of them dead and the other a medium? Are they both ghosts? And how can it be that the village is perched high on top of a mountain, and yet is so warm?

Embark on a story of soul-searching, destiny over time and distance, and the pleasure of finding great love.

Reviewers say:
"The author paints such a vivid picture of life in this idyllic community that one begins to think it may actually exist somewhere. Its warmth and its lush surroundings combined with the purity of its inhabitants make it a place that many in today’s world would envy ... This book is extremely well-written and the pace of the story-telling is excellent. It is perfect for anyone who is looking for a romance with a hint of paranormal mystery."

"Even through the dreamy quality of the telling, I found myself drawn to keep reading, to finding out what would happen next, almost as if reading a compelling action/adventure because the pacing was so excellent. And… ahem… the love scenes are quite well written, too. I enjoyed both of the main characters – the openness and innocence of Isabella and Trent’s initial cynicism and journey toward his own happiness. While the book works as a standalone, I look forward to reading the sequel which has been quite well set up to answer the questions posed at the end of the book. This was an enjoyable read and I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys a good paranormal romance."

"The concept behind this story was intriguing and very sexy … Fireworks and all out romance, followed by some interesting obstacles, but they are overcome, because well...it's love. What I loved about this read was the fairytale like narration with a sci-fi/fantasy kick; it made me feel like I was part of the story. The connection behind Isabella and Trent is sweet and hot with just enough mystery and Isabella's unique gift is original, yet incredibly authentic and intriguing. What is the golden light all about? I am looking forward for the next in the series so I can find out

"What an interesting story concept … magical quality was a nice twist, delving into the realm of fantasy romance … the author's style was well suited to the tone of the world she has created. It provided an old-world flair, reminiscent of classic literature and befitting of her unique civilization. I enjoyed the budding relationship between Trent and Isabella. I especially found Trent's awakening to a new way of living particularly endearing … Did it leave me hungry for he next installment? Absolutely! … kept me enchanted throughout"
