This book has been revised, expanded and re-titled as Twice Upon a Kiss.When homely college student Stella Denton and nerdy professor Harry Vale find themselves in the wrong place at the wrong time during a convenience store hold-up, the result turns deadly. A ricocheted bullet enters Stella's brain, causing her to sink into a coma.But Stella is actually more 'alive' than doctors realize. Though outwardly unresponsive, she's actually 'awakening' in Jarmo, an Eden-like paradise that actually existed 9000 years ago. In this alternate world, the New Stella is beautiful and desirable, while the hunky chief of the tribe turns out to be a notched-up version of her Anthro professor, Harry Vale. Stella flourishes in Jarmo, where Harry teaches her the finer points of sex, romance, and passion. But is Jarmo and all its delights truly an alternative reality? Or is it just a dream, and Stella the Dreamer? Is her beloved Jarmo (as well as New Harry) nonexistent, just a figment of her severely injured brain? When Stella emerges suddenly from the coma, she must make an irrevocable choice between two lives... one of which may not really exist - and the choosing of which might lead to her obliteration. An 18+ young adult contemporary romance, DREAMER explores the nature of Reality and Love, showing us that neither are absolutes. And that Reality is what you make it - as is Love.
