Excerpt:


She lost track of time until the flames caught her attention once more.They flickered from orange to gold, to silver, to white.
A flurry of snowflakes masked the flames and for a second Monica watchedthe most beautiful, pristine snow-scene she'd ever seen. Her lips curved inlonging. How she'd love to get a toboggan and slide down that slope. She knewwhere it was, and had done just that many times in her childhood, first withher parents and then, in clandestine manner, with her brother. Sneaking an oldtin tray from the back of her mother's walk-in pantry, she'd then grabbedBilly's hand and they'd rushed out the back gate, heading for the lakesidetrack that led up into the hills.
Darkness, dense and thick with grief dropped over the scene. Startledand disconcerted by the strength of emotion emanating from the vision Monicashifted to her knees, ready to stand, when a voice, a deep male voice, sharpwith fear called out her name.
"Monica!"
She knew she'd never heard the voice before, and yet—it was as familiarto her as the image she saw in her mirror each morning.
"Help me, Monica."
Desperate for more clues, she searched the darkness within the flamesuntil it sputtered and faded. With a curse she jumped up and ran for the phone.With her outstretched hand hovering over it she halted and let her hand drop toher side once more. What could she say? What would the police or rescue teamthink of her if she called them and told them she'd seen a vision of a man indistress?
They'd laugh in her face and classify her as a lunatic. Well, maybe not.It wouldn't be the first time she'd contacted them with positive informationbut something—an instinctive gut reaction told her what she'd seen this timehadn't happened yet.
