The Dark Horse — Patricia Simpson

Claire Coulter's brother is dying. To Claire's astonishment, her .boss offers to pay for the the risky operation that might save him. The catch? Claire must accompany Tobias Benton on a search for the fountain of Youth.

Despite believing Tobias is on a wild goose chase, Claire agrees--she'll do anything to save her brother. The trip is a disaster: Tobias doesn't just want Claire's company--he wants Claire. But Claire is drawn to Jack,' their mysterious and sexy guide.

Although the strange and beautiful deck of tarot cards she's carrying with her predicts a positive outcome, Claire suspects everyone around her is hiding something. Especially Simeon, an urbane older man who claims to be studying snakes, but whose dark demeanor hints at a terrible past.

Claire's psychic sensitivity alerts her that all is not what it seems, but can she figure out who to trust before it's too late?
