Boston, Massachusetts: It's the summer of '69-the parks are flooded
with flower children and a hot new band called Led Zeppelin is set
to appear at the Boston Tea Party. But for one newlywed couple just
beginning their lives together, there will be no peace. In the
cradle of sex, drugs, and rock 'n roll, Gus and Elsbeth LeGarde are
music students attending the New England Conservatory of Music,
after a wedding kept secret from their families. When they discover
a bruised and sobbing teenage girl on the Boston Commons who can't
remember who she is, or how she got there, the couple decides to
"adopt" her to help find her identity. But Gus and Elsbeth aren't
prepared to be plunged into a violent world of rape, abuse, and a
ring of white slave traders who'll stop at nothing to take back
their property-or to acquire new flesh in the form of Gus's
beautiful young bride. At times nostalgic, heart-stopping, and
breathlessly dramatic, Spirit Me Away is a thrilling romantic
mystery set against the colorful backdrop of the sixties-with an
unforgettable conclusion at the greatest rock festival of all time.
Past and present collide when an Alzheimer's patient's fragile
memory holds the key to solving mysteries dating back to World War
II-including a long lost secret love affair. Music professor Gus
LeGarde is just doing a favor for a friend when he agrees to play
piano for church services at a local nursing home. He doesn't
expect to be drawn into a new friendship with an elderly
Alzheimer's patient dubbed "the music man" or to stumble across a
decades-old mystery locked inside the man's mind. Octogenarian Kip
Sterling doesn't know his own name-but he speaks Gus's language,
spouting jazz terms like "cadence" and "interlude" and "riff." He's
also obsessed with "his Bella," but nobody knows who she is. When
Kip is given a new drug called Memorphyl, he starts to remember
bits and pieces of his life. Gus learns Bella was Kip's first and
only love, but their relationship was shrouded in scandal.
Intrigued, Gus agrees to help search for her. Could she still be
alive? Horrified when the miracle drug suddenly stops working and
patients begin to backslide, Gus panics. Can he help Kip find his
beloved Bella before his newfound memories disappear?
They say it's better to have loved and lost than never to have
loved at all. Finn McGraw disagrees. He was just seventeen when he
had a torrid summer affair with the girl who stole his heart-and
then inexplicably turned on him. Finn may have moved on with his
life, but he's never forgotten her. Now, ten years later, he's got
more than his lost love to worry about. A horrific accident turns
his life upside down, resurrecting the ghosts of his long-dead
family and taking the lives of the few people he has left. Finn
always believed his estranged brother was responsible for the fire
that killed their family-but an unexpected inheritance with a
mystery attached throws everything he knows into doubt. And on top
of that, the beguiling daughter of his wealthy employer has secrets
of her own. But the closer he gets, the harder she pushes him away.
The Seacrest is a story of intrigue and betrayal, of secrets and
second chances-and above all, of a love that never dies. "The
Seacrest is a poignant love story that will have you reaching for
the tissues. Every woman needs a Finn McGraw " - Victoria Howard,
bestselling romantic suspense author of RING OF LIES. "At a time
when many authors seem to crank out fiction by the numbers, Aaron
Paul Lazar invests his whole heart in every book he writes. His
stories shine with sensitivity, compassion, and the richness of
deeply personal experience." - Michael Prescott, bestselling author
of GRAVE OF ANGELS. "This book is about love - first love, young
love, unrequited love, lost love, and rediscovered love. Simply
put, it's a good old-fashioned love story with an ending that will
make your heart swell with joy." - Cindy Guest Taylor, notable book
reviewer. "I just finished reading Seacrest by Aaron Lazar. Let me
tell you, ladies... you will LOVE this book A love story of all
love stories, and characters so easy to fall in love with Aaron has
a way of painting a world so descriptive you feel like you're
really there. If I had a five star rating system to use, I would
give him six " Heather McLaren, author.
