| Foster Taylor has it all, money, looks and his health. Now that his
fifth hotel has been completed in Denver, the "wandering bug" has hit
him again. So he bids farewell to his current lover, Ashley Heath, and
goes to Denver, where he will live in the penthouse of his hotel. Of
course, part of the reason Foster wants to leave is because of his own
personal "demon". Foster was engaged at one time. With his soon to be
wife pregnant and not feeling well, Foster ran to get the doctor. When
he got home, he found the mother of his child covered in blood. This
was just the beginning. Every woman he's become involved with since
then has died, except Ashley. Somehow, she managed to survive after
being stabbed.
Brooke Abel has been on her own since the death of her parents. They were traveling east to New York when the train was robbed and her parents were murdered right in front of her. Not wanting to deal with the memories of her parents just yet, Brooke continued to New York to meet her aunt. When she finally felt ready, Brooke went back home to Denver. She now runs a business in the lobby of an exquisite hotel and is engaged to a professor. Things haven't easy for Brooke, her parents were definitely not rich and she's managing to scrape by. Of course, with both the rent on her apartment and on her shop being late, she finds herself in a bit of a bind. So when the stranger comes into her shop calling her Ashley and grabs and kisses her, causing her to knock into one of the shelves and breaking all kinds of her stock, she is not exactly pleased. She's also not quite ready to admit her reaction to this man. When he comes in the next day and gives her a one hundred dollar bill, Brooke begins to think of Foster as her own DARK SAVIOR. This amount of money will not only allow her to pay both rents, it will also give her a comfortable cushion. Will Brooke end her engagement with a man she doesn't love in order to see where her feelings for Foster might lead? Will Foster pursue Brooke, even though he knows he'll be putting her life in danger if he does? Exactly who is murdering all of Foster's girlfriends? Why does Foster think Brooke is Ashley? DARK SAVIOR is a fascinating look at life in the 1920's, from the Speakeasies to the flapper dresses, everything is here. Patricia A. Rasey has once again done a wonderful job of bringing the period to life in this absorbing suspense. We get to experience right along with Brooke and Foster as they examine their feelings for each other and those around them. Of course, the love of her life may also cause the end of it for Brooke. If you enjoy a good suspense filled with all kinds of subplots, don't miss this one!
