Some promises are made to last forever…
What if you fell in love with a stranger…but that stranger had come from your past, a past you never knew existed until the moment your eyes met?
When Tess Winters locks eyes with a stranger at an airport bookstore, it ignites a feeling of passion somewhere deep inside her that she can’t explain.
Although the encounter is innocent and brief, the intensity of it lingers, leaving her overwhelmed by a yearning for the mystery man now consuming her every thought.
Struggling to break the powerful hold he has over her heart, Tess starts to experience strange but familiar dreams…dreams from the turn of the twentieth century of the charming Mr Addison Taylor.
As her dreams start to materialize into reality, and past and present begin to blur, Tess is forced to put the pieces of a forgotten time together, and soon discovers that love isn’t the only thing that can find you after an eternity.
Captivating, mysterious, and romantic, Life Lived Twice will leave you wondering whether love is so powerful it could last more than a lifetime.
By
the time I’d examined his tanned calves, the masculinity of his
skin
was lingering in the air between us. He smelt sensational, and I
found
myself
uncontrollably breathing in as I rose.
Now
curious to see more, I kept going. But as I began to move, an
odd
sensation of warmth radiating from him came over me; it was almost
like
an invisible hand caressing my skin. My heart fluttered at the idea
of
it, and suddenly blood was rushing to all the wrong places as I felt
an
unexpected
thrill of anticipation.
After
tracing his body all the way up to his chest, my wandering
eyes
didn’t seem to want to stop, and they were soon up to his neck and
following
the stubble along his jaw, right up to his light brown hair.
And
then he spoke. The sound of his voice jolted me from my
daydream
and pulled my gaze to his.
“Addison!”
I gasped as our eyes collided.
From
the moment the name left my lips, my eyes widened ... stared
...
and became lost in his. As a rush of airy weightlessness floated me
from
the floor, suddenly everything felt more enhanced, more real, like
something
inside me had suddenly woken up.
It
was an intoxicating feeling and the longer I stood entranced, the
further
his beautiful blue eyes reached into mine. Somehow they were
knocking
on the door to my heart, stirring something so powerful it made
me
want to cry and laugh at the same time and, for a brief second, there
was
something in his eyes that made me feel complete.
Suddenly
his brows squeezed then softened. “Ah ... um ... sorry about
the
electric shock.” He smiled. “But who’s Addison?”
My
throat tightened as warmth flushed my cheeks. Who the hell
was
Addison?
Embarrassment
pulled my eyes from his. “Oh,”
I said,
choking on my
words,
“Um ... ah ... no ... I don’t know anyone
called
Addison ... I mean, um ... ”
“Oh!”
He smiled
cheekily as he leaned towards me and whispered.
“You
sounded so convinced I was him ... I thought for a second I could
be.
I mean, if you wanted me to be.”
My
face shot back to his, words jamming in my throat as I stared.
Who
was this guy, this stranger? In just a few seconds he’d turned my
soul
inside
out, and now he was charming me with his words as well.
As
his lips rose into a smile, I couldn’t help but smile back. But
panic
quickly
returned to my constricted throat as that name re-entered my head.
Suddenly
aware of the warmth still creeping across my face, I managed
to
pull my eyes from his again and divert my gaze. Addison, Addison,
who
the
hell was Addison? I couldn’t budge the name from my thoughts.
As
I stood fidgeting, I could feel him staring, waiting for me to say
something,
anything. After taking a breath, I shifted my gaze and we
locked
eyes again as I spoke. “Um,” I said, swallowing hard, “I must
be
mistaken
... sorry.”
