Season of Strangers

In one fleeting moment, anything—and anyone—can change…

Patrick Donovan would be a real catch if not for his notorious playboy lifestyle and matching attitude. But when a cocaine-fueled heart attack nearly kills him, Patrick makes an astonishingly fast—and peculiar—recovery. Julie Ferris barely recognizes the newly sober Patrick as the same man she once struggled to resist. Maybe it’s an unexplainable time warp fueling her paranoia, but she can’t help sensing something just isn’t… right.
