"A fascinating reincarnation romance"
In 1838 in the Upper Canada wilderness, Queen's Volunteer
Cavalry Captain George Macmillan steps into a snow hidden
animal trap. A man arrives, but is pleased to have snared
George. Instead of rescuing the injured soldier, the man
bids George a good life in heaven where he might eventually
meet Isabelle. Sarah Macmillan fled Toronto because she needs to start
over after taking blows professionally and personally. Her
employer, antique dealer/interior designer, apparently
laundered money while her former-boyfriend sold drugs,
before leaving town for the Caribbean. Unfortunately for
Sarah her newly purchased remote abode has a reputation
too,as drug dealers used the house. Mountie Pierre Martin
thinks three connections to illegal operations are too
coincidental, and so he decides to go undercover and observe
Sarah. He persuades Sarah to rent him a cabin. However,
the last thing the law enforcement official expected is to
have feelings for his landlady, especially since he loathes
anyone connected to drug trafficking because dealers had
killed his family. Even stranger is the sense he has that
he and Sarah share a past, and that someone else is aware of
it and plans to insure that the duo remains apart, even if
the actions of 1838 are repeated in the present.. BELOVED STRANGER is a fascinating reincarnation romance
that never slows down until the final page is written as
the audience is hooked into needing to know how the plot
ends. The story line is loaded with action that leaves the
audience believing in the impossible. However, the key to
the tale resides in the two prime stars. Both are flawed
individuals struggling with relational demons from their
current life and coping with what seems insane, connections
to mysteries of 1838. Fans of paranormal romance will
delight in Patricia Crossley's exciting novel. Harriet Klausner
