There's a few real psychics flipping tarot cards at the St. Bonaventure University's Renaissance fair. The drama club's booth is lining up fortune seekers in droves.

When dark and brooding Theo Veloz drops in-wearing his frat toga-he is definitely bucking fate. He doesn't expect Gypsy Ginny to change his stars.

Marsy Garcia is in love with Josh, the blond Adonis, great organizer of the campus renfaire. When he teases her into the Gypsy Ginny attire, she has no idea what the cards are going to draw. Not until Theo pulls the Tower card. and their lives are directed up a seven year path of loneliness.

Destiny is their friend, though, and eventually the stars will line up-and Mars will be in the seventh house-and the sixteenth floor of the Tower of Loneliness will lave the sparks of passion into full flame. You don't want to miss this!

 

The Excerpt

Theo surprised them both. Not usually the slow-mo man, he closed his eyes. The fuddling of his fingers as he reached for her hips, fumbled in pulling up her skirts to expose her bare legs, drawing her close, cupping her ass-it was like time was virtually standing still-for both of them. Marsy tilted her head back, closed her eyes, too, and let him feel her up, really believing that the joke would stop at any second. She wondered who would have the last laugh.

Theo's head dropped, his lips pressed against the pulse at her throat, finding it on instinct. And her fingers found a grip on his biceps. She moaned. He grunted. A second later, she felt his hands slide under her, gripping her butt cheeks. He yanked her against him, the mass of skirting wadded up between them, but she was arched at an angle where the front of her pelvic area could feel his arousal.

They didn't talk. His lips skidded over the flesh at her throat, down across the upper edge of her breasts. With his nose, he pushed the elastic of the gypsy top down and buried his face between her boobs. He held her there, like that, for several seconds.

The wait was so. inciting. that Marsy groaned and slid her hands up around his neck, holding his face there. Softly, she begged, "Please. Don't stop." Still, he just stood there. Obvously contemplating his next move-whether to go on or not-fighting the impulse to take her standing up.

 

The Reviews

Tower of Loneliness is a haunting story of friendship, love and regret. The author's vivid characterization takes the reader on a roller coaster ride of emotions. Marsy's struggle to gain control of her life, and Josh's deep love and respect for her is so seamlessly written that you cannot help but feel the characters turmoil, pain, and hope as well. This book has one of the most intense and exquisitely written love scenes I have ever read. This is a wonderful story!

This story is remarkable. In many ways, I felt I lived this story, parts of it hit home on a level I never admitted to. Carys does a beautiful job moving you in time as well as the emotions of the others. The threads of life stopped that one night at the Renaissance Faire. Yet how it resolves is something that only fate, the Tower, and people who truly have love and passion can change. This is an amazing story surely that'll take you heart and soul into wanting more and needing not just closure to your own wounds in your life, but also love. What a wonderful story that truly envelops the meaning of The Tower.
