Treading on Borrowed Time - E-book - ePub

For Julia Moreau, life seems complicated. Rather isolated after emerging from a failed marriage and managing a lifetime of insulin-dependent diabetes, she lives alone in her childhood home. Of course, being an extraordinary psychic sensitive, she does communicate with the spirit of her long-deceased Great Aunt Lilia. But Julia really doesn't have a clue what complicated is until she is abruptly thrust into being the key chess piece in a power struggle between two powerful men of extraordinary abilities.
An Englishman, Christian Montamat, considers himself a collector of sorts. His latest potential acquisition has driven him overseas. It is a mythical creature whose power, he believes, is his family legacy. His rival, Dr. Nicholas Burke, has a disturbingly similar goal. Determined to use all weapons at his disposable, he seeks to obtain mastery and control over the very same fantastical entity so deeply shrouded in mystery.
What they both have in common is the discovery that somehow Julia Moreau is their only lead. Will Julia lose her soul to the karma of a devastating past life or her heart to the love of a man driven by dark forces? Travel across their battleground, the enigmatic city of New Orleans past and present, as all three race against fate before time itself runs out.
