ALEX
McGUIRE never dreamed his life would take such a turn. His plan to complete
college, become a lawyer, and marry his girlfriend, LILY LAVERY, tanked following
his kidnapping to the alternate realm known as Paradise Valley. Now Alex has
been ordered by a dead man, DAVID KYLE, to marry his young wife, JENNIFER BURKE
KYLE, and raise their infant son, DAVY KYLE, as his own. That would be a great
plan if it weren’t for the fact that Jennifer is still in a coma, has never met
him, and her son has some strange attributes too.
JENNIFER
BURKE KYLE woke from the coma to the realization that she was a widow and the
mother of a young son who could read minds, create portals to an alternate
realm, and have unforeseen growth spurts when he is in or near Paradise Valley.
As if that wasn’t enough, a complete stranger has stated he is to marry her and
raise her son as his own. All on the order of her dead husband, David.
DAVY
KYLE was tickled pink that Alex McGuire would be his Dad and couldn’t wait for
his mother to wake from the coma so the wedding could take place. What Davy
didn’t see, was the trouble in the form of PRI, otherwise known as the Percival
Research Institute. PRI agents were after his family and it was going to be up
to Davy to hide them all until it was safe.
Together,
Alex, Jennifer, Davy, and their friends from Paradise Valley, must join
together to keep the family safe, destroy PRI, and protect the still comatose
COLIN O’BRIEN, the last member of their Paradise Valley family. With the help
of student nurse, DEANA COOK, they may just succeed in their plan and find
happiness along the way.
Excerpt
“What?”
Jennifer said. “I’m not ready to be married to you. I don’t even know you.”
Alex
had had just about enough of her routine. “Listen, sweetheart, it’s no picnic
being with you either. I’m tired of trying to live up to your lofty
expectations. I’m not David Kyle, nor would I want to be. I’m doing this all
for you, to protect you and Davy. A little gratitude would be welcome.”
“Excuse
me?” Anger flashed in her eyes. “You are darn lucky that I even give you the
time of day. You overbearing, egotistical control freak.”
“Control
freak!” Alex shouted weakly. “Are we back to that song and dance again? Can’t
you come up with some original material? I’ve busted my ass in order to help
you, and you have the nerve to say I’m controlling you?”
“Oh,
what a load of crap, Alex! You are not doing this for me or Davy. You are doing
it for Lily.” Jennifer spun away from him in disgust.
Alex
wanted to pound something in frustration, but he could barely move his arms.
“For crying out loud, Jennifer, Lily isn’t here. She married Connor. They moved
away. Lily has nothing to do with this. If she did, I would already be in
Texas. I’m here with you because I want to be with you.”
“You
do not know me!” she shouted.
“Because
you won’t let me get to know you!” Alex countered.
Alex
stopped speaking. His face turned red. Spots appeared before his eyes, and he
had a hard time catching his breath. He saw Jennifer back away from him as the
machine he was hooked up to began to scream. Martin grabbed the wheelchair and
pulled it out of the way. A team of doctors rushed into the room and began
working on him. Alex felt himself begin to fade and then he was gone.
