Trying to avoid her "gift," Beth Dearborn is now an
insurance investigator for Avery Mutual after retiring
three years ago from the Chicago Police Department as a
homicide detective. Beth's special gift has earned her
recognition and notoriety in solving previous cases.
Arriving in Brubaker, Tennessee, Beth meets a very sexy
farmer when he changes her flat tire. Beth has been sent to
prove, or disprove, the death of Lorilee Brubaker Malone,
since Avery Mutual holds a $1 million life insurance
policy. Lorilee has been missing for seven years, leaving
behind her husband Ty and three children.
Arriving at the Malone farm, Beth is unable to avoid the
spirit in the farmhouse who died a violent death there.
Having to remain at the Malone farm due to the bridge being
washed out from a storm, Beth is shocked to find that sexy
rescuer is Ty Malone. Beth is also aware that her "gift" is
staging a comeback. Beth and Ty eventually reach a level
of hot, mind-blowing sex on an empathic level Beth has
never before achieved.
Threatened with cut brake lines and flying bullets, Beth
has found her killer. Opening up for an encounter with
Lorilee's spirit, the truth of her death is apparent.
Facing off with the killer, Beth fears her own possible
demise. Surviving the encounter, Beth must evaluate her
true wants and needs for the future. Can it include Ty?
THE GIFT is an extremely exciting thriller full of the
extraordinary; fascinating and exceptionally entertaining.
Deb Stover has a gift for capturing and keeping your
attention throughout the entire novel. The story is unique
and unlike other stories of this nature. I found this an
extremely difficult book to put down. Each page turns
itself. A must-read if you want that "different" but really
exciting thriller.
Blood. Rivers of it.
The visions are overwhelming. They come every time Beth
visits the scene of a murder. She lives the victim’s last
moments, feels the pain, sees the perp. And it’s driving her
mad.
A flat tire. A deserted country road. A man too hot to be
true.
Trading life as a Chicago homicide detective for a job as a
nomadic insurance inspector was supposed to keep her safe.
Ty Malone is anything but. What isn’t he revealing about the
missing person’s claim on his ‘runaway’ wife? What really
happened to beautiful Lorilee Brubaker-Malone? And just how
far will Ty take his seduction of the one woman whose gift
can uncover the terrifying truth?
