Fortune's Fate (Paperback)

Incredibly lonely and tortured by voices she cannot control, Ariona Cooper hides behind the solid doors on her family estate. A shocking and horrific situation forces Ariona away from her sequestered life and into a whirlwind of lies, betrayal, and murder. On the eve of her twenty-first birthday extravaganza, she is thrown into a fight for her life alongside a man named Duncan Fortune, whom she doesn't know, but can't seem to keep her hands off of. Add to it a bunch of unruly, argumentative, and downright pushy voices that drive her to the brink of insanity. The unlikely group has to match wits in a desperate race to solve a mystery that implicates not only some of the key residents of North Hampton, Illinois, but also a ragged, disorganized band of Cuban militia wannabes. She can trust no one, save the stranger who has appointed himself her protector, but even he becomes suspect as they uncover more and more clues. As the danger and tension escalate to a heart-pounding crescendo, Ariona and Duncan begin to wonder if fate has brought them together, only to tear them apart.
