Romance Suspense | Romance Paranormal

Autumn Sommers (that's Sommers with an 'o') likes her life just the way it is, free from romantic emotional entanglements. During the school year, she teaches 5th grade at Lewis and Clark Elementary, and during the summer months, she's able to indulge her passion, rock-climbing. Autumn is an accomplished climber, one of the best in the state, and she teaches classes at an upscale gym in the McKenzie building in Seattle. But her life takes a sudden detour the night she has a terrifying dream about a little blond-haired, blue-eyed girl named Molly, who, in the dream, is abducted by a man out in front of the girl's house. Autumn tries to shake off the image, but the dream recurs over the next few days, reminding Autumn of another dream she had when she was fifteen in which two of her friends were killed in a car crash. A week later, the dream came true. Determined to track down the source of her dream and possibly save the child in question, Autumn seeks out the identity of the little girl, only to discover that she's the lost-presumed-dead daughter of the owner of the building in which she works. Molly disappeared from the home of Ben and Joanne McKenzie six years earlier, thrusting them into years of anguish that ended their marriage and closed Ben off emotionally from everyone around him. Autumn understands why Ben doesn't want to hear what she has to say, but she's had another dream, and this time, she's seen Molly as the eleven-year-old girl she would be now. Autumn believes that Molly is trying to reach out for help, but first she has to convince Ben to face his old wounds and once again allow himself to hope that his daughter is still alive. But having Ben believe in her is just the first step. Together, the two must piece together long lost clues, combined with the bits of information Autumn gathers from her dreams, in the hope that this time, Molly will be found before it's too late. What follows is a passionate, intense thrill ride as Ben and Autumn work to track down Molly's abductor while battling an intense attraction to each other that drives Ben wild and overwhelms the relationship-phobic Autumn. THE SUMMIT is a non-stop adventure, full of twists and turns that will keep you guessing, with scorching scenes between Ben and Autumn that are sure to satisfy. For anyone who loves a fast-paced mystery/adventure, this one's for you!

SUMMARY

The dream came again and again a little girl abducted from her own yard . . .

Autumn Sommers knows the danger of ignoring such powerful omens. Twelve years earlier, she could have prevented a tragic accident if only she had acted on those horrible nightmares. For Autumn is one of those special people blessed or cursed with dreams that become reality. This time she knows what she has to do.

Her research into local missing persons suggests that the girl in Autumn's dreams could be Molly, the daughter of businessman Ben McKenzie. Still emotionally shattered from his loss, Ben is angered rather than relieved to hear her theory. Certain that she may be the girl's only chance, Autumn persists, until Ben grudgingly agrees to explore this tiny, if improbable, shred of hope.

As Autumn's dreams become more and more vivid, she and Ben pursue their leads . . . leads that point to a strange religious sect, and a disturbed zealot who may be the only person in control of whether they live . . . or die.
