After being humiliated, she prays she will never see him again.

 

But Fate has other plans…

 

Charlotte LeFay is smart, driven, modern-day woman, who's haunted by the demons of her past. She learned the hard way that love often comes at a devastating cost.

 

Ian McAlistair is accustomed to power, success, and being in control. Arrogant and devastatingly handsome, he’s precisely the sort of man Charlotte knows she must avoid.

 

But Ian will not be deterred. She belongs to him–he can feel it in his bones–and he cannot stop until she’s lying sated in his arms.

 

As her guarded heart begins to open, Charlotte learns that vulnerability is both a risk and a revelation, and something inexplicable is stirring beneath the surface of their intense passion.

 

Haunted by visions of another life, Charlotte glimpses a distant past where love echoes through time, and a man with Ian’s eyes reaches for her across centuries. Though confusing to her fragile emotions, it sets them free from the burdens she carried for far too long and allows her heart to feel the love Fate intended.

 

Until the demons of her past shatter the trust they once shared, and everything between them comes crumbling down.

 

Will Charlotte and Ian extinguish an ancient flame, or will its light shine bright enough to guide them back to their sacred home?

 

The first novel in the Souls Reunited series, The Essence of Fate is a sweeping contemporary romance guided by destiny, ignited by unforgettable passion, and woven with the timeless magic of souls bound across lifetimes.
