“…a riveting thriller that will hold you captive…”
Blind Consent by Michael Davis is a riveting thriller that will hold you captive from start to finish!
Set in a small, impoverished Shenandoah Valley town, Blind Consent holds you on the edge of the mystical while setting in motion an intriguing plot twisted nicely with a touch of romance. Again I do hesitate to call what Mr. Davis writes romance, but it doesn’t matter because romance readers will not be disappointed by what he has delivered.
The answers lie buried in the past
I gave up the city life about four years ago when I retired and re-established my wife and I in a country surrounding. How could I pick up and shift my lifestyle after thirty years in a city? Truth is, I never left my roots in the countryside. I always had a yearning to return someday to the serene vistas of the south, the small town environment where everyone knows you. This yearning became the seed for my romantic suspense, BLIND CONSENT, which examines a truth for many of us: the answers we seek lie buried in the past.
It’s based on a young man that, after twenty years, can no longer deny the drive to return to his hometown of Tanglewood Falls. Problem is, he doesn’t understanding the urge, the need to return. He is visited by confusing dreams, visions he doesn’t comprehend of a boy and a young girl with an intertwined past that reaches into his present life. The heroine was based on a childhood sweetheart. The images and events were feed by the nurturing care of my southern aunts and cousins that formed the foundation of why I respect and adore women (notice, I did not say understand). Read more… »
Check out the excerpt for Michael Davis’ (one of our very own Author Sponsors and a guest blogger this month), Blind Consent!
“Please understand, and don’t be mad at me. It hurts me inside when you’re mad at me.” Annie reached out, but he resisted. She stepped forward, grasped his right hand and gently pressed his palm over her heart. She lifted his left hand, pressed it against her breast, and he felt the tremors in her body. “Look inside me, Ryan. There’s nothing but love for you. No desire to control you; just love for the only man I’ve ever wanted in my entire life.”Through her tears, he began to see what was inside, how deeply she cared for him, and had kept herself only for him.
“Please don’t pull away. I couldn’t bear it. These years we’ve been apart have been so hard. I’ve spent so many lonely nights thinking of you, seeing you so far away. But I kept going, waiting and praying you would come back to me. Please love me, Ryan, the way I love you.”
He realized he did love her. That first day he saw Annie without the dirt on her face, when Ryan looked into those green eyes, he understood it then, what was in her heart, but he denied the truth. Maybe he had always known, buried deep, hidden from his conscious mind, but still there at his core. Perhaps that was what he sensed after April died; the yearning to return to his roots, and to Annie.
