by
Donna Del Oro
Genre:
Crime Drama, Romantic Suspense
Athena
Butler, the twenty-year-old descendant of an ancient bloodline of
psychics, yearns to live a normal life. She wants a career in art, a
boyfriend, independence. Her clairvoyance has taught her, however,
that people can be false and dangerous. Although warned to keep her
psychic gifts a secret, she’s recruited by law enforcement to help
search for a serial killer and to uncover a terrorist cell that
threatens her own diplomat father.
She
bonds with an intriguing, handsome man, Kas Skoros, who knows her
secret and accepts it. Of the same bloodline, his own mother is
precognitive and predicts they are meant to be together…someday.
Kas realizes that life is too uncertain, but he can’t resist his
growing passion for the strange young woman.
Still,
they face obstacles beyond their control. Can Athena and Kas overcome
these obstacles? More importantly, can Athena stay alive long enough
to fulfill her dream of a normal life?
Book One, ATHENA’S SECRETS Excerpt:
Athena realized now how different her mother was from her father. The miracle had never come to her father, just her mother, and Nonna and Nonna’s mother before her. A long line, her mother had told her, all the way back to the ancient world of Greece. To the priestesses of Delphi. Athena wondered about that, but before she could do or say anything more, her eyes drooped. The trauma of the past night had wrung her out. Miracles…and curses…were indeed exhausting.

Kas
Skoros, his marriage to Alex’s former fiancΓ©e now annulled and no
longer intimidated by Athena’s psychic gifts, begs her to move to
San Francisco and manage an art gallery that his family’s company
owns. However, burned once, Athena holds him at arm’s
length.
Athena
is enticed to consult in another serial killer case. As time passes
and secrets are leaked, others—including the killer’s
brother—find out that Athena is the one who’s helping the police.
Meanwhile, a strange young woman on a motorcycle appears to be
stalking her. Warning bells go off as Athena realizes the woman is
not who she seems to be.

Detective Ochoa’s cousin, Detective Inspector Villalobos, persuades

horrifies her and threatens both her and Kas. While at a crowded
Christmas festival in the Sierra foothill town of Grass Valley, they
encounter a man who attempts to kidnap Kas’s nephew. It was

threatens to destroy her relationship with Kas. Only their seeking of
justice can right this wrong, and they risk their lives to do so.
Donna
Del Oro's dream since childhood (when she used to create her own
comic books and share them with her friends) has been to write
fiction. Escaping the humdrum of ordinary life always seemed to her
an ideal form of self-entertainment. Better than TV and even better
than some books! As soon as she retired from high school teaching
(which was a suspenseful adventure in itself), Donna turned to
fiction writing. Becoming a member of the RWA and Sisters in Crime
has helped her to learn the craft and focus on what she needed to do
to get published.
Besides
writing Chica Lit, she writes romantic suspense and thrillers. THE
DELPHI BLOODLINE is a hybrid thriller about the present-day
descendants of an ancient bloodline of women with extraordinary
psychic powers and how they must fight against enslavement by a
ruthless high-tech tycoon.
