    About this ebook

    Edmund’s sister, Mavis, was tragically widowed by a hit-and-run driver when her husband was rushing to the hospital for the birth of their son. Mavis cannot cope with the loss of her husband and care for a new, fatherless baby.

    Mavis’s friend, AJ, tells Edmund he and his partner, Utah, must go and retrieve the Aquamarine. The stone will bring courage and comfort to Mavis. It will hold the spirit of her dead husband, and she will be able to rear their son and have a fulfilling life.

    Only lovers can find the stone. Edmund and Utah are a little skeptical but very willing to try.

      Chapter One

      Edmund watched his sister rock her baby. Tears dripped from her pale blue eyes onto the sleeping infant’s head. Her normally soft blonde hair was in desperate need of a shampoo, and her sweater had the remains of baby puke on the right shoulder.

      But Mavis’s unhappiness was not the usual exhaustion of a new mother. Her husband, John, had been killed by a hit-and-run driver on his way to the hospital to share in the birth of their son. John had never met John Jr., and so far, Mavis was struggling to cope with the tragic loss of her husband.

      Edmund didn’t know how to help her. He and his partner, Utah, had washed dishes and laundry and floors. They’d cooked meals and taken out trash. Utah had even walked the floor, rocking baby John for hours and hours one night when the infant had cried inconsolably, hoping a deeper, male voice might soothe the child.

      The other woman in the room, AJ, spoke softly to the men. You must go and find the Aquamarine. It’s in the ocean off the coast of Rocky Point Beach. Swim straight out from the line where the rock wall marks the end of the beach. It will be near the sandbar, and you’ll recognize it. It’ll call to you, Edmund, as you’re close to Mavis, but Utah must go with you. It will only respond to lovers. That’s why I can’t retrieve it. The person who will be my lover isn’t aware of our connection yet.

      Edmund looked over at Utah. This was the second time AJ had told them to find the aquamarine. He really didn’t believe in this paranormal, witchy woo-woo stuff, but the fact was that Mavis wasn’t coping. It couldn’t be good for the baby to have a mother who was always crying. She cried as much, if not more, than John Jr. did. You’re convinced this will work?

      "When Mavis holds the Aquamarine, she’ll have a tangible connection with John. Aquamarines bring courage and comfort. They soothe people, calming fears and releasing anxiety. As well, they give courage, which Mavis needs right now.
