Awakening (Love)

Two women, two lifetimes, a powerful attraction. Will they choose love or safety? Soulmate love is the most transformative and by far the most thrilling-but also the most challenging. 2014 California: Sage Morales has a strict rule against mixing her personal life with her professional one. But when her attractive new massage client, Alex Fischer, asks her on a hike, she's tempted to make an exception. Her stormy blue eyes awaken something dormant in Sage, and there's a familiarity-as if they hadn't only just met. Torn over indulging this new friendship, Sage doesn't realize Alex being a client is far from their greatest obstacle. She's still oblivious to her deeply-held religious beliefs and the vow Alex made to herself almost two decades prior. 1862 Ohio: Lizzy's mundane life on the farm becomes infinitely more interesting the day Claudia arrives. A faint smile hints at the bright spirit hiding behind those guarded blue eyes, kindling a deep desire to uncover it. When unexpected feelings bloom between the two young women, Lizzy is eager to explore them-while Claudia struggles to reconcile the dizzying sensations in her body with her unquestioned faith and need for safety. Will the two women risk their hearts and home for a taste of their forbidden love? Do soulmates meet again to heal old wounds from lifetimes past? A work of literary fiction with a romance crossover, Awakening Hearts is infused with spirituality and karmic lessons. It showcases the challenges that go along with loving a person of the same gender-both back in the 1800s, and today, still. The characters are forced to look deeply within themselves and make difficult choices-their passionate body, heart, and soul attraction serving as a catalyst for healing that extends beyond a given lifetime.

From award-winning author of Awakening Hearts: A Tale of Love Across Lifetimes. Alex: There's my Sage, looking more beautiful than ever! What are the odds I'd run into her the first time I'm on a date-with a woman? My heart and body have always wanted her, but my faith led me to walk away seventeen months ago. When she asks me to join her on a trip to France, my head spins. Is this God giving me a second chance? Will I be able to show up in the way Sage deserves if I say yes, or will my old demons and guilt come back to haunt me? Sage: My body and heart respond to Alex as strongly as ever, while my mind's apparently already on vacation. I hear myself invite her on my trip to France . . . What am I thinking?! I know the pain of losing her intimately-but she's clearly been working on herself, and I, too, have been doing my own healing. Still, is it crazy to risk my heart a second time? Can love overcome all obstacles and mend old wounds? Awakening Souls: A Tale of Love Recovered is a second chance, slow burn lesbian romance. It is the sequel to Awakening Hearts: A Tale of Love Across Lifetimes. It can be read as a standalone; however reading Awakening Hearts-before or after-will lend greater depth to the story.
