[The Ghosts of Golden 01] • The Temptation of Demetrio Vigil

Book One in the Ghosts of Golden Series. Coronado Prep student Maria Ochoa,

16, is near death after crashing her car on an isolated stretch of New Mexico

Highway 14 during a blizzard. When the only person to show up to help her is a

teen gangbanger named Demetrio Vigil, Maria fears she’s doomed, until the

young man manages, miraculously, to heal her nearly fatal wounds with nothing

but the warm energy radiating from his hands. Maria is grateful for the help,

and seeks to thank Demetrio by returning to the tiny ghost town of Golden,

where he said he lives, to find him and give him a gift. What she discovers

out about Demetrio along the way, however, not only defies logic and belief,

but puts Maria’s very life in terrible danger.
