| With only a week until her wedding, the day started out beautifully. Angie Brock and her handsome Navy Captain and groom-to-be, Ty Beckman sailed from Catalina toward San Diego Bay on his sloop, Destiny. Lolling against the cool fiberglass, then stretching out to rest from the blistering sun and the long sail, Angie’s mind was suddenly filled with a frightful vision—an all-to-real sight of an airplane disintegrating in the air above. Suddenly the calm breeze came in threatening gusts and Ty’s call for a weather check caused her to push the scary image to the back of her mind. The once serene air was picking up, making the sea choppy and hard to navigate. The relaxing sea cruise turned into a struggle to stay upright and on course, and poor Angie found herself thrown into the cold, churning water, fighting for her life. Luckily, Ty was able to maneuver the Destiny to Angie’s rescue and back into safe harbor and plans for wedded bliss.
But once at home, Angie is flying in one direction and Ty to a meeting in Long Beach. When she rides with him to his departure point, Angie is struck by the familiarity of the airplane on which he is scheduled to leave. The numbers painted on the side of the naval aircraft are the same as those in her vision. Could it have been a premonition? She begs him not to go, but he chides her for her foolishness and boards the plane despite her fears, leaving her in the clutches of a protective Ensign. As the plane climbs higher and circles back over the landing strip, Angie watches in horror as her vision becomes reality. The shock is more than she can stand, and mercifully, unconscious peace claims her. When Angie awakens in the hospital to the sound of her son’s voice, not only does she have to face her lose, but learn that she’s suspect for knowing the plane was going to crash. How did she know? If you like romance with suspense, psychic phenomena and tons of emotion, then you’ll absolutely love Angie’s promise. Toby Heathcotte is an extremely talented writer who makes the scenes so real you swear you can smell the ocean air. You’ll definitely share the joys and pain of this wonderful story. I’ve read other books that stirred my emotions, but this author actually moved me to tears, and I found myself eager to see if Angie lived up to her promise of finding her lost love again, no matter what. I can’t tell you the ending, but I can say that I anxiously look forward to reading more of Ms. Heathcotte’s offerings. She's a top-notch author in my book!
