Attorney Susan Dante has spent her life championing lost-causes, even after landing a job at Lucas and Devine, a prestigious law firm in Boston's Beacon Hill. Despite working twelve-hour days, she serves paperwork on her latest pro-bono case, a copyright dispute with Torrence Publishing.

Aiden Torrence, owner of Torrence Publishing, is impressed by Susan's spunk. He promises restitution for her client and delegates the discovery to a long-standing business associate who, unknown to him, is possessed by a creature of the otherworld.

Aiden and Susan can't deny their attraction and dive into a whirlwind romance. But Susan fears someone, or something, is after her. When Aiden fails to disclose pertinent contracts, she slaps him with a class-action lawsuit, forcing him to slog through a twisted conspiracy of blackmail and murder to rescue her from the heinous entity hell-bent on destroying her.

Biography Diane L. Kowalyshyn writes heart-hammering, high-voltage thrillers—adventures that run on action, intrigue and romance. CROSSOVER is the thesis novel that earned a Master of Fine Arts degree in Writing Popular Fiction. Diane embraced the saying write what you know. Like the female protagonist in CROSSOVER, Diane was adopted and is still in the dark about her biological heritage. She is an avid sailor who’s listened to her fair share of marine storm warnings and relied on the intermittent pulse of a lighthouse beacon to bring her safely back to port. When she’s not on the water, she loves to travel to far-away lands where she can navigate rustic landscapes and traipse through ancient and decaying relics, palaces and castles. CROSSOVER is the first book in the Cross your Heart and Die Series. Double Cross is the second and Crossbones is the third. The series begins in present day and travels back in time. Her road to publication was a direct result of the on-line pitch page she coordinates for Toronto Romance Writers. Her books are available in trade paperback and ebook through Chapters/Indigos, Amazon, Google, Nook, iBook and Kobo.
