When destiny fails…
Singer-songwriter
Lucy Moore thought her life was perfect. At just twenty-one, she’s
already met her soul mate and together they’ve landed a recording
contract. But when her father dies and the love of her life betrays her
in more ways than one, she returns home to pick up the pieces. On the
shores of Mendocino, California, Lucy has some decisions to make. Should
she start a solo career? Or should she leave it all behind for some
semblance of normalcy in the quiet town she grew up in? And what about
Seth, the tortured artist who always seems to be there when she needs
him?
Seth
Keenan has demons of his own. Eighteen months ago, he was involved in a
horrific accident that he never talks about. His career as an
accomplished oil-paint artist has been abandoned, replaced by the buzz
of his tattoo gun. And women—well, he never sticks around for longer
than a few hours of pleasure… until he meets Lucy. After one evening of
listening to her seductive voice, he’s pulled under. But what about the
vow he made to never get close to anyone again?
In a world where everyone has one true soul mate, can these two find love in the arms of each other?
Deanna
is a native Californian. After spending five years traveling in an RV,
she and her husband moved into an adorable cottage in a small town
outside of New Orleans. After about six months, Deanna was convinced
their 1907 home was haunted. Late at night as she penned Haunted on
Bourbon Street, she often heard footsteps throughout the old house.
Luckily, the spirit appears to be harmless, as he/she has never done
more than make a little noise and possibly smoke a few cigars. However,
if the ghost ever shows up in a dream, you’ll be the first to hear of
it. Smudge stick anyone?
When
she isn’t writing, she is often goofing off with her husband in New
Orleans, playing with her two shih tzu dogs, and making glass beads.

Defining Destiny... Where do I start? The plot line was okay, but I just couldn't connect with the characters and that's odd for me. I felt like Lucy kept going back and fourth, not know what to do. How can you believe someone who has already screwed you over the worst kind of way? I wanted to shake her and tell her to open her eye's and quit being so naive. Seth, he was a sexy character, but again I couldn't fall in love with him and I tried. Lucy's mother got on my nerves and I wanted Lucy to finally stand up to her and tell her where to shove it. The sex scenes where good and hot. I liked the idea of the soul mates. I was happy that they were able to overcome what they needed to and find each other. I give this book 3.5 stars
