Blurb: A visionary is someone who sees into
the future Taylor Forrestier sees into the past but only as it pertains to her
work. Hailed by her peers as “a visionary with an instinct for beauty and
an eye for the unique” Taylor is undoubtedly a brilliant architect and
gifted designer. But she and twin brother Trevor, share more than a successful
business. The two share a childhood wrought with lies and deceit and the kind of
abuse that’s disturbingly prevalent in today’s society. Can the love of God and the awesome healing
power of His grace and mercy free the twins from their past and open their
hearts to the good plan and the future He has for their lives?
Excerpt: “Thank you for taking such good care
of me.”
“I’m not through yet,”
he mumbled, then slid off the couch and swung her up in his arms.
Fear snuck in,
darkening her eyes. She stiffened and opened her mouth to protest. He brushed
his lips over hers and silenced her objections.
“I just want to hold
you,” he whispered and laid his forehead against hers. “That’s all. I promise,”
he added, unable to camouflage the need in his voice.

He’d offered her
another step to relinquish her fear and trust him. Triumph lit his expressive
eyes when she wrapped her arm around his neck, smiled, and whispered, “Okay,”
then snuggled her face against his shoulder and let him carry her to the
bedroom.
With exquisite
tenderness, he laid her on the bed, crawled up beside her, and took her in his
arms. Taylor felt the strength of his need in the heat and tensed against the hardness
of his body. He eased his grip and propped up on one elbow beside her. His eyes
pleaded for grace when he stroked the hair off her face and said in a soft, husky
voice, “Please don’t be afraid of me; please trust me. I will never force or
even persuade you to give more than you’re ready to.”
They gazed at each
other for a long, tender moment. She cupped his cheek in her hand, brushed her
thumb over his mouth, then curled her fingers in his hair and urged his head
down to fasten her lips to his. A low moan escaped his throat, yet he held
himself taut.
Taylor ran her hand
over his shoulder and back in a soft caress then wrapped her arms around his
waist. “Hold me, Alex, I trust you.”
The emotions reflected
in his tone caressed her heart when he thanked her in that beautiful
velvety-rough voice. He rolled onto his back, pulled the covers over her, and
held her while she slept.
