Synopsis: Sidney Sinclair’s life has gone from dreamlike escapades to the reality of two men who both want her… Her unfaithful rock star boyfriend, Ray Ryker, may have some competition in a handsome young stranger, Adrian McAllister, who she first only imagined in her dreams. The thing is, he’s no longer a fantasy. He’s now not only involved in her thoughts but her everyday life as well. Sidney finds herself in a romantic overload as she tries to choose between the boy she’s known since high school, or the exotic presence with shining green eyes who takes her breath away. Until, she is attacked in her backyard, and someone’s murdered… While trying to uncover the identity of the mysterious killer she can’t help but wonder if the handsome stranger may have had something to do with it. It doesn't take long for Sidney to realize she doesn't trust either of the men in her life, not Ray, her adulterous boyfriend, or Adrian, the green-eyed charmer. Now she finds herself having to weave her way through the web of lies confronting her at every turn. Or she could be the next to die…
EXCERPT:
I stood in the foyer shaking, realizing for the hundredth time I
did not know this man at all. If that was indeed his ex-girlfriend, she was
obviously hiding from him for a reason. Not to mention the undeniable fact that
he had traveled all the way across the country with the sole intention to find
her.
And now it seemed that he was threatening her if she didn’t give
herself up.
My little altercation with Ray seemed like a walk in the park
compared to this. Adrian’s ex-girlfriend was running throughout the country
trying to escape him. I figured he must be crazy or something.
Then, I had a horrible thought.
Was he crazy enough to kill Nouri when he found
out that I was leaving?

Synopsis: Sidney Sinclair was living the dream of any eighteen year-old girl… A handsome rock star boyfriend, a closet full of designer clothes, a limousine service at her beck and call, and a mansion in the hills of Los Angeles. Even with all that glamour and excitement at her fingertips, she still feels as if she’s been missing something in her life so she decides to leave. While trying her best to put her dysfunctional romantic relationship aside and tend to her beloved Granny, Sidney unexpectedly stumbles upon an intriguing emerald pendant boxed away in her grandmother’s closet. Soon she learns it once belonged to her long-lost mother who committed suicide when she was just a baby. Suddenly feeling emotionally connected to the woman who had birthed her, Sidney begins to wear the necklace. This sends her on a whirlwind journey that alternates between fantasy and reality… Almost immediately, she starts having dreams linked to the mysterious pendant. As danger begins to seep into her life, Sidney refuses to remove the necklace and instead documents each dream to help her further understand them. However, she soon begins to wonder if they are dreams meant to bond her to a mother whom she never knew? Or a subconscious warning that threatens her very life?About Cynthia Austin
