Description:
Recurring
dreams have plagued Katie Hammond since childhood, forcing her to
keep an open mind to the paranormal. But when Katie is compelled to
follow a forest path during her trip to the Blue Ridge Mountains, she
stumbles into a forgotten life – one she’s not sure she wants to
remember – and an enthralling man who shouldn’t exist.
At
the end of the path is Marcus Hillyerd, a man with a secret and
golden eyes. He comes face-to-face with the only woman he’s ever
loved. The only problem – she doesn’t remember him.
Then
evil from Marcus’s past emerges and attempts to destroy everything
he holds sacred. Needing reinforcement, Marcus calls upon Marcel
Enterprises, his network of paranormal beings dedicated to helping
victims of corruption. Together, they must risk their lives to keep
Katie safe and protect the empire that took Marcus more than a
century to build.
Excerpt:
Marcus
stood on the back of the veranda in the night shadows and listened.
In the distance, he heard the faint squawk of radios, voices, and the
purr of engines. He had time. Stepping into a sprint, he crossed the
garden and was through its door in a matter of seconds. The forest
beyond waited and his beast roared inside of him, wanting out. It was
exhilarating running at top speed through the trees with night sounds
and the scents of animals teasing him. At the edge of the forest, he
stopped to observe and took a deep breath. The smell of rotting blood
assaulted his nose.
The
cabin was shrouded in moonlit darkness. Yellow crime scene ribbon was
stretched from post-to-post at the top of the porch steps and across
the door. With a swipe of his hand, Marcus pulled them down and gave
an experimental twist of the knob. One sharp push splintered the wood
at the lock and the door swung open.
The
smell of lingering death was like a wall, coating Marcus’s nostrils
and tongue, triggering his gag reflex. As he looked around the room,
the first thing to draw his eye was a police outline of Angie’s
body. His gaze moved on to the trail of blood leading to the loft
ladder, and logic told him only one thing would have led Angie in
that direction.
With
a two-step running leap, Marcus touched a toe to the log wall and
propelled himself up and over the railing, landing nimbly with barely
a sound. Taking the suitcase with Katie’s scent. He cleared the
railing with ease and was soon in the bedroom she’d been using.
Within minutes, the closet and drawers were emptied. Leaving the
scent of death behind, Marcus pulled the front door shut and broke
into a run a she re-entered the forest.
About
the Author:
Cynthia
H. Wise first conceived the idea for The Marcel Experience years ago.
At that time, she wrote stories for her own enjoyment. Inspired at an
early age by the paranormal, Cynthia enjoyed having the ability to
become someone else, travel to distant places, and experience new
things as she wrote.
During
the long process of editing her first book, Portrait of Rage, an idea
began to take root. Having begun another manuscript years before that
she had entitled Eyes of Autumn, Cynthia realized how simple it would
be to integrate the two worlds. She envisioned continuing the story
and carrying characters from book to book as she continued to
introduce new people, new conflicts, and new stories. She realized
the list of paranormal subjects was endless. It would be simple to
let the story flow from one inexplicable, exciting possibility to
another. And voilà—The Marcel Experience was born.
Cynthia
H. Wise lives with her husband in Marietta, Georgia, where her
series, The Marcel Experience, is centered. When she is not writing
novels about the supernatural and the fantastic, Cynthia can be found
with her husband, Cliff, their two dogs, Jake and Sadie, and their
cockatiel, Sam.
