Heartstone - Paperback

Separated by Time. Joined by Fate.

Life was tough enough already for Air Evac nurse Willie McAllister, and that was before she started living two lives.

After failing to save her cousin Josh's life following a horrific single-car accident, Willie finds herself overcome with grief and guilt. More than that, though, she's haunted by Josh's last words-a warning for her to stay away from the small Missouri town of Nevada. When a Deputy U.S. Marshal shows up at her door asking questions, she begins to suspect there's more to the whole thing than just a random car accident. Could Josh have been murdered?

In the depths of her sadness, though, Willie also begins seeing things she can't explain-glimpses of a distant figure, flashes of another time. She witnesses the life and tragic death of the Osage warrior, Stone Shaper, and the grief of Beth, his young bride. But why is she seeing these things, and what does it all mean? Why has she suddenly become connected to a man murdered almost two hundred years in the past?

As Willie's life begins to spin out of control, who will be there to catch her? The handsome marshal she thinks she may be falling for? The gentle old Osage minister who seems to know what she's seeing? Or the helpful local firefighter who keeps popping up whenever she needs a hand? All she knows is that she must find justice for Josh and closure for Stone Shaper. But will she have the chance to do it when the killer she seeks now has his sights set upon her?
