Awake in Elysian Fields

About the Book

“It’s the mistakes and imperfections that make things truly beautiful.” Haunted by fractured childhood memories and trauma born from her mother’s death and her father’s abuse, Elyse Brennan Wylder journeys to Paris hoping to find answers about her mother’s past and perhaps her own future. With only an old photograph to guide her, she is thrown into a world far beyond anything she’s ever imagined—both good and evil. After meeting Jérôme Sauveterre, an intriguing and passionate Parisian artist, Elyse quickly finds her life, her world, and her heart opening wide as they delve deeper into her mother’s story and learn what love and intimacy really mean. As Elyse and Jérôme dig into the past, how far can they go before it’s too late to turn back? Will they find a light at the end of the darkness and awake in Elysian Fields? Find out as this story of love and loss enfolds as the conclusion to the Hearts Drawn Wyld trilogy (Book 1, In Death We Part; Book 2, Running in the Mists).
