From the Inside Flap
Mists framed the scene, drawing her attention to the figure that seemed to be approaching her. Again she heard the voices followed by a gunshot and saw the figure hesitate. As if the whole event were being enacted in slow motion, she was able to view each individual detail. She saw the bullet strike, just to the left of the star on the figure's chest. She watched as the body began to fall backward.
Nicki's attention was drawn upward, and she gasped when she saw the man's face. Surrounded by golden-blond hair, his tanned features were abnormally pale, almost ashen. His shocked, green eyes stared back at her, and his mouth was open in a silent scream. Slowly he fell backward until he hit the pond. The water lifted in curling waves around his body, then tumbled in on top, covering him as he sank out of sight.
Nicki's scream was not silent.

From the Back Cover
IT LIVED IN A DREAM
The mists and fogs of the Rockies, the shifting play of light and shadow - the imagination could easily conjure apparitions from the enchanted air that swirled around The Stanley Hotel.
But it wasn't a whimsical flight of fancy that stable owner Nicki Chandler reported to detective Jake Kelly. Nicki had been visited by a series of waking dreams - dreams she was convinced mirrored a real-life tragedy.
Though Jake wanted to believe in Nicki, he thought his investigations would prove her visions wrong. But when a body is found in the pond just as she described, she becomes the number one suspect.
Jake never expected that Nicki's dreams held danger - and a direct challenge to a new and fragile love.
ROCKY MOUNTAIN MAGIC - All it takes is an open heart.
