Forbidden and fatal. They loved each other in two past lives and died for that love each time. Now they meet again in Fort Worth, Texas. This time, it's safe. This time, they'll be happy . . . unless the evil that stalked them isn't finished. Unless, this time, their fate has little to do with the contrast in their skin colors. Claire Westbrook. She's a trauma surgeon with a failing marriage. Jonas Clark. He's a top notch neurosurgeon, single with no plans to change. At first neither is willing to believe the dreams and portents that filter into their memories as they fall in love. Reincarnation? A joke. But soon they can't deny their vivid connections to two tragic times-their lives together in pre-Civil War Texas and again in the 60s. What happened to them in 1968? Are their past lives the key to their future? Can they catch the murderer who still threatens them and change their fate once and for all?
