Eye of Desire

Artie Bevaqua's sister has lost her soul--literally--and Artie must enlist the aid of her own ancient and schizophrenic soul, Angus to recover it. When the search attracts a sexy veterinarian, a large pharmaceutical company, too many men with guns, and peculiar bounty hunters, Artie must evolve into more than she's ever been to save her loved ones. But even if her body survives, will her heart?

Artemis (Artie) Bevaqua began the summer as a normal English Professor in a Midwestern city. Well, with the exception of one little secret that had never been a problem before. But by the end of the summer, she had destroyed one pharmaceutical laboratory, killed several bad guys, been kidnapped and shot at by numerous men in black, fallen in love with an enigmatic veterinarian, and turned the big 3-0. Caleb Campbell was on a desperate search to save his family when he met the clumsy, but irresistible woman who just might have more secrets than he does. Being in her company goes from steamy to dangerous to baffling and back to steaming with the regularity of a clock’s pendulum. And she seems to be right in the middle of his riddle—but whose side is she really on? Can either one of them survive the well-financed enemies they are attracting? And if they both survive, will they be able to survive each other?

Connie has never felt complete without a blank sheet of paper and numerous writing instruments. Between her dyslexia and non-diagnosed ADHD, her brain seems to wander where others fear to tread. One friend once commented that she’d never met anyone with so many rooms in her head to which Connie replied quite sincerely “and most of them are haunted.” Connie survived enough college to obtain a BS in business administration and an MA in Technical Writing, and even managed to conceal her weirdness long enough to teach college writing for three years in addition to numerous other occupations. Between her horses, her dogs, her cats, her grandchildren, her motorcycles and her amazing husband, she keeps busy just finding time to write in their Colorado home. Connie is also the author of the Amazon best-selling book “HAPPINESS, HORSE APPLES & HAND GRENADES: A Guide for Creating a Stable Relationship with a Man (or a Horse),” Feb 2012, Non-Fiction.
