BLURB:
For Christine, dreams have never meant much. Until
she meets Gabriel. Everyone thinks Christine should stay away from her
new coworker at the library-thanks to his bad reputation-but when her
dreams grow more vivid and she becomes entangled in a dangerous
dream world with Gabriel every night, she can't stay away. Soon it's
clear there is far more to dreams than Christine ever imagined, and
now she's on the path to making the biggest, and strangest, decision
of her life.

EXCERPT:
I walked down a moonlit street. It smelled like smoldering autumn leaves but
there was no chill in the air. Wind slowly blew through the trees and
made their leaves whisper. Everything else was quiet.
The wind curled around me, but this time it brought a few drops of
rain with it. Glancing at the sky, I noticed clouds gathering over the
moon. It dawned on me that I should get back home and go to bed. I looked
around and, for the first time, realized I wasn’t in my neighborhood.
This neighborhood resembled a set from a musical rather than a real
street. The houses were big and imposing, like something from My Fair
Lady. At any moment, I expected to see Rex Harrison and Audrey Hepburn
strolling toward me. The thought of wandering through an old movie scene,
alone, at night caused cold goose bumps to rise on my arms. Keep it
together, Christine. I tried to stay reasonable.
Was it safer to go back the way I’d come or keep going into unknown
territory? I didn’t remember going for a walk anyway. Basically, turning
back was no different than continuing on. I took another quick scan
of the street to see if anyone else was out. Nothing stirred. Even the
wind had deserted me.
I tried to grab hold of my courage. There had to be a logical explanation
for this and it wasn’t like I could have wandered too far from home.
I decided my best bet was to turn around and go the way I’d apparently
come. Maybe something would look familiar eventually and I’d be snuggled
in my bed soon.
I turned and the wind rushed past my ears. “Christine,” it sighed,
producing the effect of ice water dripping down my spine. The voice
was soft, but I had not imagined it.
