Paranormal | Fantasy Urban

Being dead is no fun, but being almost dead can be worse. For Ellie of Aquitaine, that means living In Betwinxt, with her body trapped in a waking coma somewhere in the Scottish countryside while her spirit exists in a semi-solid state, seemingly alive but likely to be yanked back into her body at any moment. As if that weren't enough, Ellie's not even sure who she is; she can't remember anything about her life before the accident, or even how she was injured, and even her name was pilfered from a tapestry. Her first memory is of meeting Gawan Grimm, a gorgeous Scotsman who finds her, soaking wet and disoriented, by the side of the road hear his home. Ellie doesn't know why Gawan seems so calm about her strange semi-living state, especially her odd disappearing and reappearing acts, until she discovers that his castle is home to several ghosts, and that Gawan himself has a secret or two. But the one thing that Ellie does know is that Gawan is one of the few people who can both see and touch her in her In Betwinxt state, and that every time they touch, she wants to throw herself into his arms and never leave. After nearly a thousand years, Gawan Grimm is less than a month away from ending his Earthbound Angel status and living the rest of his life as a mortal, at least until he is charged with saving Ellie's life before Christmas Eve, the official deadline for his retirement. Despite his admiration for the spunky Ellie, Gawan's not thrilled by his assignment; if he fails to save Ellie's life, he will lose his retirement and remain an angel forever. But that knowledge is nothing compared to discovering that Ellie is his Intended, the soul mate of his destiny, the woman who is meant for him alone. One of the conditions of his angel status is that Gawan loses his memories of his charges as soon as his task is complete, which means that if he succeeds in saving Ellie's life, neither of them will have any memory of each other or their time together. But if he fails to save her, not only will he remain an angel; Ellie will die. With the help of Tristan Dreadmoor, his wife Andi, and the knights of Dreadmoor castle, Ellie and Gawan struggle to solve the riddle of her past while searching the countryside for her body. But as the deadline approaches and Ellie's spirit grows weaker by the day, Gawan cannot escape the fact that whether he succeeds or fails, there is nothing which will prevent him from losing the woman he loves, forever. Readers who fell in love with the Lord and Lady Dreadmoor and Tristan's knights in SPIRITED AWAY will be delighted by their return in INTO THIN AIR, while Gawan and Ellie's emotionally-charged romance will touch your heart and your funny bone. Filled with wit and charm, INTO THIN AIR will sweep you off your feet, and make you believe in the power of love to overcome any obstacle. Don't miss it!
