Six-year-old
Sara prays for her brother’s happiness. Twenty years later that prayer is
answered. Sara’s brother Dean finds his soul-mate, Veronica Davis. With
the help of quirky friends and a loving family everything is fairy tale
perfect. Until on the afternoon Dean plans to pop the big question,
Veronica is killed in a freak accident. With Dean’s world shattered, an
unlikely friendship evolves between Dean and Professor Gerald Stanton,
world-renowned scientist, from the local university. A good-hearted man,
whose only child, Lizbeth, died several years earlier in a senseless car
accident. Consumed with her death, the Professor hides his memories with
sarcasm and martinis.
With the help of Professor Stanton’s crash course in lucid dreams, Dean
learns the woman of his dreams has had a reoccurring role in his ongoing
nightmares. Professor Stanton holds and ominous secret; his lucid dream
research is a precursor for a covert military operation, a time machine,
which is controlled by thought. The rub. The only one to attempt a time
travel didn’t make it back alive. Clearly, Dean alone, for better or
worse, knows he’s the key to Veronica’s future. With the bond between Dean
and the Professor growing stronger by the day, Professor Stanton has no
intentions of allowing Dean to trade his life for anyone. Including the
love of his life, his daughter Lizbeth. Dean has other ideas.
Dean resolves to travel back in time, several years, in an attempt to save
Lizbeth, knowing full well Veronica will have no idea who he is. Keep in
mind the quirky sister, Sara, who adores her brother and her
want-to-be-boyfriend, Dale, who won’t take no for an answer. Throw into
the mix, a by the book thirty-five year career soldier, Margaret. Who
secretly loves the Professor and his daughter, Lizbeth…
… And so on an October night, in the middle of a crazy storm, Veronica
Davis opens her door to find a man, crumpled on her porch, shivering,
weathered, bloodied… Dean Hill, a complete stranger…Copyright
