Dadaïsme

My family home accidentally catches on fire, and my father risks his life to save my sister. He ends up with severe burns and urgently needs a blood transfusion to save his life. I'm not in the vicinity, so I ask my fiancé to help. He tells me the hospital doesn't have enough blood stored and mobilizes the city's blood banks—he does it to save my sister, who only has minor burns. Leonard Gallagher shows up when I'm at my most desperate. He takes 600ml of my blood and rushes back to my hometown. Meanwhile, I pass out by the roadside due to severe blood loss. When I wake up, Leonard tells me my father has died due to significant blood loss. I'm disfigured after knocking my head on a sharp rock. He holds my bandaged face tenderly and tells me he'll use his life to make it up to me. After three years of marriage, I'm six months pregnant when I lose consciousness and need to be rescued. That's when I overhear Leonard's conversation with a doctor. "It's been three years. Can we do the skin grafting procedure again? Zoe needs it for her cosmetic surgery." "Mrs. Gallagher has recovered very well, so it's okay to proceed with the procedure. However, even if she's Ms. Lore's sister, there's still a chance of rejection." "Her blood already flows in Zoe's veins—what does the skin matter? It's already the second time, anyway." It turns out the help I've given on the brink of death only leads to Zoe Lore's enhanced beauty. To Leonard, I'm nothing but a source of flesh and blood for Zoe. I'm tired. I think it's time to be reunited with my father.

Meet Esmerelda Sleuth. Sleuth is her name and investigating is her game. (Paranormal Investigating, that is.) Esmerelda makes a good living as an investigator in a rather progressive firm. She lives a stable and sensible life until she meets Lance; an old money "hottie" who works for a real estate firm next to her building. After accepting an invitation for a weekend getaway party, she quickly discovers that Lance has a secret. He is wealthy. That part is true. And, yes, he's procured a job as a realtor in the building next door. His secret is that he belongs to an underground society of humans who didn't abandon their connection to magic centuries ago when religion declared it evil and he has traveled through time specifically to find her and bring her back to his time to marry him. If that isn't enough of a far fetched tale to absorb, he informs her that she was born in his time to a family belonging to that same secret society and was promised in marriage to him as an infant. When enemies who didn't want to see the union of families take place made attempts on her life, her parents sent her into the future and erased her memories of them as a precaution. Possessing virtually no belief in magic, ghosts, psychics, time travel, etc., it takes some doing on Lance's part to convince her to believe his story and go back with him. When she does, the lies, deceit and attempts on her life start all over again. Will she escape emotionally and physically unscathed? "The Other Side Of the Mirror" is a steamy-paranormal-romance- mystery-thriller and book one of the Esmerelda Sleuth series.

Les frissons, le suspense et la romance se poursuivent dans "Au-delà du portail", tome 3 de la série Esmerelda Sleuth, Paranormal Investigator.

Rencontrez Esmerelda Sleuth. Sleuth est son nom et enquêter est son jeu. (Enquête paranormale, c'est-à-dire.) Esmerelda gagne bien sa vie en tant qu'enquêteur dans un cabinet plutôt progressiste. Elle mène une vie stable et raisonnable jusqu'à ce qu'elle rencontre Lance; une vieille « bombasse » qui travaille pour une société immobilière à côté de son immeuble. Après avoir accepté une invitation pour un week-end d'escapade, elle découvre rapidement que Lance a un secret. Il est riche. Cette partie est vraie. Et, oui, il s'est procuré un travail d'agent immobilier dans l'immeuble d'à côté. Son secret est qu'il appartient à une société souterraine d'humains qui n'ont pas abandonné leur lien avec la magie il y a des siècles lorsque la religion l'a déclarée mauvaise et il a voyagé dans le temps spécifiquement pour la trouver et la ramener à son époque pour l'épouser. Si cela ne suffit pas à absorber une histoire farfelue, il l'informe qu'elle est née à son époque dans une famille appartenant à cette même société secrète et qu'elle lui a été promise en mariage alors qu'elle était enfant. Lorsque des ennemis qui ne voulaient pas voir se réaliser l'union des familles ont attenté à sa vie, ses parents l'ont envoyée dans le futur et ont effacé ses souvenirs d'eux par mesure de précaution. N'ayant pratiquement aucune croyance en la magie, les fantômes, les médiums, les voyages dans le temps, etc., il faut du temps à Lance pour la convaincre de croire son histoire et de retourner avec lui. Quand elle le fait, les mensonges, la tromperie et les tentatives contre sa vie recommencent. S'en sortira-t-elle émotionnellement et physiquement indemne ? "L'autre côté du miroir" est un thriller romantique et romanesque torride et paranormal et le premier livre de la série Esmerelda Sleuth.
