Fifteen years ago, one fateful day bound the lives of two perfect strangers...
Melita Saari-Quinn is living the consequences of a traumatizing psychic event that turned her adolescence upside down. Now, disillusioned with her job as a psychotherapist and desiring a change from her lackluster existence, she hopes that something out of her ordinary sphere of existence - something totally uninhibited and spontaneous - will renew her zest for life.
Alex Moncado seems to have it all - good looks, a successful business, and a fun life in "party central" of the Mediterranean: the island of Malta. Except for one day in the year when he can't help but remember a tragedy that never should have been. One day he'd rather forget, because if he doesn't, the guilt will consume him.
Can one passionate night together banish the ghosts of the past and give two lost souls a second chance?

This short read was an escape. There was a gothic sort of feel accomplished within the setting and mystery surrounding the paranormal elements as well. I didn't think this story would surprise me the way it would with it's huge twist a little more than halfway through. It made Melita and Alex's connection seem more real and in that moment I knew that it was about more than just good sex...these two needed each other to be healed. If Natalie G. Owens can do this one a short story, I can't wait to

Natalie G. Owens creates major frisson between the main characters. The plot provokes real emotions. Add to that mix some delightful shivers. This book does not fade to black. Great metaphors, imagery and descriptions.
Natalie writes stories of mixed genre, especially, romance, mystery, suspense and fantasy. She got her first taste of serious writing in her teens by penning poetry, short stories, and articles for college and local publications. At university, she trained as a lawyer. Many years later, after somewhat abandoning the legal profession for the greener pastures that language provides, Natalie freelanced as a writer and editor. As her writing suggests, her tastes in books are eclectic, but she possesses an extensive collection of romance and mystery novels, both in print and on e-reader. She loves to meet other authors and readers.
Natalie is married and has one son. She spent 11 years in Atlanta, Georgia with her American husband, but since 2009 she calls the beautiful island of Malta home. When she isn't working or writing, she enjoys spending time with her family, cooking, watching a good movie and most of all, reading. Her strong belief is that writers should not feel compelled to write only one type of story as creativity shouldn't be put in a neat little box. All writers should write what's in their heart - as long as they give it their best.
