Stranger at the Golden Lotus (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798994851104)

After the death of her father, Lily May quits her job and leaves everything behind, taking up residence at the Golden Lotus Yoga Center in the heart of the lush forest of the Oregon coastal foothills. There, at the feet of the legendary yoga master, Pesha, Lily will learn to become a yoga teacher herself-while discovering and developing intuitive skills.

But things are not quite as they seem at the yoga center. She meets a creepy-and vaguely menacing-older man while on her run through the woods. A towering Douglas fir crashes onto the property, narrowly missing the yoga studio. Pesha is injured when she slips on a rain-slick deck. Worse, a fellow student dies at Lily's feet in the forest after having been stabbed.

Meanwhile, temptation occurs in the form of the handsome deputy sheriff Joe Ayze, whose Native American background leaves him caught between instinct and logic.

Can the Golden Lotus survive despite the turmoil? Can Lily May make her dreams come true and make good on her investment? With no Plan B, Lily has no choice but to investigate things herself.
