Today I have an excerpt and giveaway for Fate’s Design.

Age Group: YA

Paperback, 346 pages

Published March 27th 2012 by LJ Pubishing, Inc.

What happens when dreams come true? In her book, Fate’s Design, paranormal romance author, Lola James, uses this question as the premise for her captivating story. Fate’s Design is an exciting fusion of romance, vampires, nightmares, reality, fate, and a European holiday that will keep its readers furiously turning pages from cover to cover, immediately drawing them in with mysterious dreams and holding their attention until the last page has been turned.
In Fate’s Design, readers are introduced to Megan Romano, a young woman who is haunted by dreams. Megan’s disturbing dreams are so unsettling that she wakes up each morning screaming; she thinks, “I’d heard that dreams can be a window to the past, present, or future, but I didn’t want any of my dreams in my present or future.”
When Megan and her twin sister, Morgan, decide to spend the summer in Italy, Megan meets a mysterious Italian businessman named Alexandros DiPero, who is literally the man of her dreams. Although Megan is ready to brush him off, fearing anyone who she may have encountered in one of her nightmarish dreams, her sister, Morgan, insistent that she give him a chance, tricking her into a dinner with him. Although Alex is charming and seductive, Megan’s bliss cannot help her to circumvent her dreams and her fate.
Lola James will keep readers at the edge of their seats as she unveils each new plot twist. Fate’s Design will inevitably leave readers anxious for the second installment in The Fate Series.

And now here is a short excerpt from Fate’s Design. Enjoy!

I picked up my purse, slid on my flip-flops, and stepped out into the aisle to exit the plane before I tripped and fell in the aisle. I scrambled to my feet, embarrassed at my clumsiness. I swear I saw one of the flight attendants giggle at my fall. I heard Morgan humming again as she helped me up. She was always so damn happy about nothing.

The flight attendants had her same joy as they waved and smiled as we exited the Lufthansa plane. We walked to the next terminal and went through German customs. While we waited for our plane, I looked over at Morgan reading her People magazine.

“Morgan, I had another dream,” I whispered.

Morgan looked up at me and closed the magazine. “Oh, Megan! Here you go again with the dreams that ‘mean something.’” She folded her arms across her chest and rolled her eyes. “It’s just odd; I thought you didn’t want to be weird anymore.”

“I don’t,” was my only response.
