October 05, 2008: Marriage counselor Gale Sinclair could not be more vexed: he knows that impartiality is the cornerstone of his profession, but he can't help the fact that he's fallen madly in love with one of his clients, the lovely Zoelle. Having been approached by her in a desperate effort to salvage her marriage to wealthy real estate tycoon Laurent Crews, Gale becomes so captivated by Zoelle that he rushes to her aid one night when she makes a fervent plea for him to stem the swelling tide of Laurent's growing rage. Unfortunately, in his haste to save her, Gale falls victim to a horrendous accident with a tractor trailer on a night-darkened, rain-slicked road... When he awakens, not only is it three months later, but he's not even the same man he used to be - literally. Much to his surprise, Gale's soul has been infused into the body of Zoelle's estranged husband, Laurent, and he suddenly finds himself struggling to reconcile the feelings that he still carries for her in the spirit, while trying to reignite in her the old flames of passion that used to burn for a man that she now loathes in the flesh... Amid all this drama, Gale also has to contend with the fact that the reason his soul entered Laurent's body in the first place is that someone killed him - or at least tried to - and he finds himself in a race against time to discover the identity of Laurent's would-be dispatcher. As he steps up his efforts to win over Zoelle, the mystery surrounding his looming assassination heats up, and he begins to learn some disturbing truths about where the loyalties of close friends and family truly lie... Eternal Designs is not only an action-packed thriller, but it's also a tight-fisted tale of suspense and intrigue. Gracie C. McKeever continues to amaze with her uncanny ability to weave a tantalizing tapestry of unique characters, enrapturing plotlines, and cinematic detail. She has mastered the difficult technique of presenting this literary trifecta in such a powerfully compelling way time and again, and she only gets better with time. In each tale that she crafts, the vividness of her characters and the vigor of her storytelling create exciting, enticing worlds to which the reader will long to escape time and again. Highly recommended. Josee Morgan Apex Reviews
