Plot Summary of Lauren's Eye
"

Love spell, Aug 2004
ISBN: 050552600X

Veterinarian Lauren Townsend ignored the first vision of murder until she learned that she had seen the victim before the homicide occurred. When the second vision occurs, feeling guilty, but not trusting the cops would accept her as “reliable” she decides to act on her own. In her last vision Lauren saw a matchbook cover for Foothills Guest Ranch and immediately books time there as a guest.

At the ranch she meets owner Cal Taggert who hopes to save his near bankrupt cattle spread with a guest section. Cal and Lauren are instantly attracted to one another. When his ex-wife Marlena appears, Lauren recognizes her as the upcoming victim. She begins to wonder if Cal, who she has fallen in love with, could be her killer as the hostility between the pair is cutting.

LAUREN'S EYE is a paranormal romantic thriller. Lauren at times seems vulnerable like Bergman in Suspicion as she wonders whether her heart could betray her.
