Romance Paranormal

Rachel Martre is slow in overcoming her capture by a twisted serial killer, but who could get over such a thing quickly? Wanting a relationship, but being unable to reach sexual completion without the presence of spirits in her lake she has kept the man closest to her at arm's length for too long. Ethan Walker is more then she could have dreamed of. A man who takes her as she is, and is even willing to put his own needs aside while she seeks a balance from which she can move forward. Ethan Walker knows Rachel is the woman he wants, but he is doing his best to give her the time and space she needs to feel ready for a full relationship with him. He keeps busy with his building business but one deal he makes is a step too far into the paranormal world Rachel partially inhabits. At a community gathering what seems to be the spirit from the ancient Lo-Stahzi people rises from the depths of the nearby lake then disappears, leaving no trace but for a blurred image on any camera that had been pointed in his direction. The lakes of Madison, Wisconsin each have their own personality. Rachel's Lake Mendota has always been welcoming, until now. As she visits her lake for her expected communion she feels herself cut off the the spirits who always welcome her, an evil entity stands between, forcing his own desires onto her. In DARK WATERS, the second of her Lady of the Lakes series, Alex has written a tale with more emphasis on romance, less on the terror but with a full complement of suspenseful scenes leading to a satisfying conclusion.

SUMMARY

By day, Rachel Matre runs a hip diner in downtown Madison, Wisconsin. By night, she slips naked into the waters of a lake whose spirits speak to her, caress her, and take her to a place of indescribable pleasure. But now the machinations of a greedy developer have summoned another force from the depths - a strange, beautiful man with a dark agenda. Soon there is a murder by the lake. During the hunt for the killer, Rachel is pulled into a torturous limbo where all she can feel is her raging erotic lust - and never a release. A crime, an ancient curse, and a confluence of thoroughly modern relationships have plunged Rachel into the ultimate mystery: one whose solution will emerge only out of pain, desire, and a passion for the most forbidden truth of all.
