Tangled Memories
Dr. Alexander Dominican needs a mother for his infant daughter. Motherless himself from birth, he refuses to let his daughter grow up without one. He's convinced kindergarten teacher Mary Adams is the answer to his dilemma. When he offers Mary a marriage of convenience, he has no idea he's setting into motion a destiny that has taken him seven hundred years to fulfill.
Mary Adams needs to pay her deceased husband's gambling
debts, and Alex's offer of marriage seems to be the answer
to her prayers. But on the day of their marriage,
Mary begins to have strange hallucinations—memories
of another woman's life. A life that had taken place
centuries before and somehow seems frighteningly familiar.
Before Mary can figure out why she's hallucinating, it
becomes clear that someone in Alex's house is out to destroy
her. Could it be one of Alex's sinister servants, or
could it be Alex himself? Until she can learn the
answer, Mary knows she must keep her distance from
Alex, but
he's reawakening a hidden desire— a deep longing—that
she can't ignore. But will following her heart lead
her to eternal love or to a nightmare that will never end?
The only way to discover the truth is to unravel centuries of... Tangled Memories.

4 STARS
I am thrilled to see a revival of the gothic romance. Not only does it have effective
gothic elements but also flashbacks to the earlier time made it seem as if I
were reading two different stories that paralleled each other. Kathy Boswell
Teresa Medeiros:
"Jan Scarbrough gives romantic suspense a fresh twist in her compelling first
novel Tangled Memories. Her strong, provocative voice is one I look forward to
reading more of in the future."
Jane Toombs:
"Not only gothic lovers will find this a marvelous and rewarding read - any reader
who enjoys suspense mixed with romance won't be able to put this book down."
Patricia Kay:
"Lush, vivid writing. Tone, style and voice are all original and quite wonderful.
The mood is nicely maintained, with just enough brooding suspense and Gothic
overtones. Reminiscent of Mary Stewart."
But just suppose for a moment that Love IS eternal...that
it transcends time and lasts forever....that two souls, who've
loved once and deeply, will continue to journey through the
fabric of time to find each other...to love each other again
and again, because I'd like to believe that...I'd like to
believe that "love never dies." Taryn Raye, reviewer
For those of you worried, Bugsy, aka
Munster, is alive and well at age 18.
