The Beloved

A tale of forbidden sensuality set against a backdrop of the Victorian South…

It was a maze of secrets and forbidden desires that followed her from one life to the next.

For Shona Seton, a young woman with inherited psychic abilities, past and present are converging in an unsettling display of physical desire and amorous dreams. Although grieving over the death of her Aunt Sydney, Shona is wildly in love with hypnotherapist Adam Yardley, a man who prefers fact to fantasy when it comes to reincarnation and occult studies.

But the seductive dreams, heralded by the whispered endearments of a visitor who calls her "The Beloved", intensify into nightmarish sexual assaults that both frighten and excite her. And her memories of a past life teem with erotic otherworldly encounters that may threaten her own soul as well as Adam’s.

The year is 1886 and in the other life, Katharine Campbell also faces passionate nightly visitations. But for Katharine the dream visitor wears the face of Jase Wakeman, the man she both loves and fears, a man who harbors a dark power that could consume everyone around him and set the karmic wheel of Shona’s present life spinning out of control.
