When Love is Blind...
Remember that first blast of new love, where
everything seems like it’s part of a brightly-colored, wrapped package for your
favorite holiday ever, and it’s all just for you?
Especially coming off a bad relationship,
it’s almost unbelievable to find something so wonderful and perfect. But you
really, really want to believe it. And therein lies the trap.
Even the most wonderful and romantic of
lovers could have a dark agenda, some hidden purpose for starting that
relationship with you, and unless you apply a critical eye under those
rose-colored glasses, you could be in for a road straight to lovers’ hell.
Our world moves fast these days. We fax, we
text instead of mailing letters. We microwave dinner, instead of slow-cooking.
Most of us have the attention span of thirty-seconds, trained that way by hours
of watching television. Our view toward romance isn’t any different. We don’t take
time, the way our grandmothers did, to woo.
Instead of meeting through a stilted
introduction, perhaps exchanging formal letters, sitting on the porch with a
chaperone carefully monitoring the situation, today’s woman is just as likely
to find someone at a party, a bar, or at work. The Internet make it easy for
someone to project an image to you, telling you what you want to hear, knowing
it might be hard for you to make a full investigation. Your ‘prince’ may post a
flattering picture that doesn’t show his bad habits, his drinking, his other
women he’s got on the line, and if you’re willing, he can lead you right along
that path till he’s hooked you.
Then what do you have? Have you bought him
things, or signed him up for your cell phone contract? Has he moved in with you
and emptied your bank accounts? Have you left your children behind to move
cross-country with him, only to find he’s a vicious abuser and you have nowhere
to turn? As a family-law attorney, I’ve seen all these things happen to clients
of mine. We all want that dream, that happily-ever-after. But we owe it to
ourselves to be cautious, especially in that most vulnerable period of new love.
In Love Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me, Sara Woods is
on the rebound from a nasty divorce when she comes to Ralston, Ohio to work for
a newspaper there. When she meets Dr. Rick Paulsen in the course of her first
assigned story, she finds a connection between them she definitely wants to fan
into a bigger flame. After all, he’s good-looking, he’s a successful doctor,
he’s interested in teaching her new things about herself she’s never known.
What could be wrong with that?
Giveaway time!
When do the rose-colored glasses come off in a relationship?

Back of the Book
Running away isn’t necessarily the answer.
In her
mad rush to escape a failed marriage, Sara Woods takes the first job available
and lands in the middle of a mystery. Her first assignment as a news reporter
for the Ralston Courier is the investigation of a string of deaths, all
young women, all her age.
She
becomes a patient at the Goldstone Clinic, a local mecca of healing, to deal
with chronic pain from her past. But all is not as it seems at the
Goldstone, its doctors and nurses are all the picture of perfect beauty
and health. Patients at the clinic first seem to get better, then they
deteriorate. Sara enlists the help of Dr. Rick Paulsen, who teaches her how to
access her internal power, skills she never knew she had, revealing secrets
from her past. Police officer Brendon Zale also takes an interest in Sara, but
he acts like a stalker, watching her every move, and he won't leave her alone.
As she digs
deeper into the story, and more young women die without explanation, she tries
to choose allies wisely, but not till the last confrontation does she discover
the identity of her true enemy.
By then, it’s too
late.
