The Devil and Via
by Marie Treanor

Sun, sex and Satanism—and Via is the chief sacrifice...

The seventh child of a seventh child, Via has always lived a life just shy of normal. That life is also a mess. She hears things other people don't, and has prophetic dreams she can never quite remember. Eager to escape, she jumps at the chance for a cushy summer job in Italy—where her life goes from merely messy to downright disastrous.

Taxi driver Giancarlo knows what it's like to feel vulnerable, and can bear any burden—except pity. Rescuing Via from the clutches of a nightmarish satanic cult comes easy. Shielding his heart from her determination to become his lover is a different story. But in her irresistible arms, he begins to believe it's worth the risk.

Then Via discovers why she is the target of Marinuzzi, a murderous Satanist. He wants her newly unleashed psychic gifts for himself, and he'll do anything to convince her to give them up, including trap Via into an impossible choice.

A choice that would save Giancarlo's life—but take away his reason to live.

Marie Treanor's Bio

I was born and bred in Scotland, but for some years moved around the UK working and studying. Now I am back home and happily married with three young children.

Having grown bored with city life, we live these days in a picturesque village by the sea where, instead of working for my living, I am lucky enough to be able to enjoy myself writing stories of romance and fantasy.

I draw the inspiration for my books mainly from the people around me and from Scotland's rich history and culture — with, of course, large helpings of fun and imagination!
