Shadow Lake Survival

During the Salem Witch Trials over four hundred years ago, Ezekiel and Jeremiah Turner stumbled upon the knowledge needed to tap into unused parts of the human brain. What they discovered was the ability to telepathically call the soul of their destined soulmate, the one created for them.

Caleb Turner spent his entire life believing that the soulmate call wasn’t real. He couldn’t believe that anyone could find him loveable, much less actually be created for him alone. It only took one look when his eyes met hers for him to know that the soulmate call was truly real. Pasiphae Lockhart dreamed of a fairy tale love that she never conceived existed for her, until an unexpected stranger took her breath away. Her soul immediately claimed his even though she already had a boyfriend.

Soulmates. It was a term Luke grew up hearing seemingly every other word. With a family that could telepathically link to their ‘fated mates’ it was bound to come up often. When he found his mate in Molly, his world exploded into color. Joy unlike any he’d ever known coming each day as their daughter was brought into the world.

Cole Richoux had spent more than a decade in prison when fate gave him a second chance at a life outside of the prison walls. After his older brother was killed during the robbery they’d orchestrated, Cole welcomed his punishment. Sharing a cell with Caleb Turner planted a desire in his heart for freedom. Little did he know that desire was an invitation toward his destiny. After accidentally discovering the Turner family’s ability to speak telepathically to their soulmate, he asked for the gift.

Scott’s world has been turned upside down when his wife of twenty-seven years asks for a divorce. Shortly after her request, a category five hurricane is headed straight for their home. Stuck together before any steps toward a divorce can be taken. They must evacuate with their daughter and son-in-law. Sheltered with his daughter’s in-laws, Scott puts aside his pride to ask for help. He’s terrified of losing the best thing to ever happen to him.

It's been over six years that the pull to get an education at LSU has ruled Caleb Turner’s life. He didn’t need the degree to succeed, but something deep inside of him demanded he get it. Catching Avery Jones in his arms before she ran smack into him, solved the mystery of why his soul wanted him there. It’s her. She’s the one. He planned to burrow himself inside of her heart before he spoke to her telepathically. Until he saw the engagement ring on her finger.

He'd given up on finding his soulmate, until he finds her. Married to someone else. Born with a restless spirit that guides him out west, Samuel wanders, searching but uncertain what for. He'd given up on finding his soulmate, until he finds her. Married to someone else. Trapped in a loveless marriage. The man she calls husband only touches her with his fists. Samantha can't see a way out.

All of his life Benjamin hadn't noticed Sarah as anything other than his best friend's sister. The last thing he expected was to notice her as more than a friend, but he did. No sooner does he realize his love for her, America enters the war. War changes a man. He'd heard that dozens of times over his life but with every near miss, every new scar, every bullet he feels himself chipping away. Even if he survives to go home to his soulmate, what man would he be? How much of him would she recognize?

Annabelle Black had two options, indentured servitude or find a husband. It’s why she left the only home she’d ever known to marry a stranger in the New World. When she arrives, she finds a kind man with some…less than average qualities. While he's not what she pictured, he's better than the other path she could have chosen. Can she accept him for who and what he was?

Nearly ten years. That's how long they'd been companions. Best friends. Soulmates. The knowledge lingered between them, forever unsaid, but thinking of the other as a brother or sister wouldn't change their fate. It hadn't been a problem, not at first. Megan was still his best friend. Still just a kid. Then a pre-teen. Then a teenager, their bond growing with every year. In a blink, the day he dreaded arrived. His eighteenth birthday. Then he became a legal adult, and Megan turned fifteen. Fifteen. To go near her would make him a felon. There was only one choice: to leave.
