When vivacious Rhiannon O'Rourke meets no-nonsense NYPD detective Daniel McKenzie, the attraction is immediate. Even the fact that he's investigating the murder of wealthy Alexander Carr while she is defending Carr's accused wife can't keep the two apart. Yet when Rhiannon begins having bizarre daydreams of a man and woman living in centuries past, she fears the stress of her career may have finally begun to take its toll. When a friend suggests that Rhiannon's visions may in fact be flashbacks to past lives, she realizes that Daniel may literally be the man of her dreams. What she doesn't know is that Daniel is having visions of his own...though he refuses to believe the actuality of his past. As the dreams and Daniel's denial intensify, Rhiannon must convince him of the depth of their love or risk losing her soulmate for the rest of eternity. Lifelines is a bewitching novel about reincarnation, karma, an ancient mystery, and the timeless power of true love.

About the Author:
Victoria Anne Wofford grew up in the South, which she believes to be the root of many of her charming idiosyncrasies. Early in life she expressed her creativity on-stage in children's and regional theater. She chased her acting dreams to New York at the age of 21, expecting worldwide acclaim to follow; years of struggle finally convinced her that fame and fortune had either lost her address or were hiding out at Susan Sarandon's place. On her mother's advice, she turned to writing to feed her creative spirit. She laughlingly says she was equally surprised to find herself unpublished for many years. Currently residing in a wonderful apartment with her beloved husband and their two cats, Victoria is the president and co-founder of a successful company who writes in her spare time. A happy workaholic who travels extensively, both by plane and in her own imagination, Victoria considers her husband, cats, and the workaholism to be fairly permanent; everything else is a moveable feast.
Review:
A metropolitan murder mystery starring a high-powered attorney and her visions of Atlantis. Burning heat surrounds her, and just as she is about to be engulfed by a wall of flames--Rhiannon, Manhattan attorney--wakes up. It's an ominous beginning to a narrative that not only traverses the Byzantine machinations of New York's elites, but time and space, as well. The story proper begins when Rhiannon's friend, the dubiously named Allegra Smedley-Carr, opens the Met as the eponymous character in Alban Berg's Lulu. During the performance, Allegra's husband, Alexander, is shot dead in the audience during a convenient scene in the opera. All suspicions are on Allegra, and the ballistic report proves that the supposed prop-gun she wields in the opera is the same that fired the fatal bullets at her womanizing and generally dreadful husband. Rhiannon quite literally comes to Allegra's defense, and so she must deal with a sniping press, mysterious conspirators, and the hard-nosed New York City Police Department. Daniel, the lead investigator, is fairly certain that it's an open and shut case, but with Rhiannon as his main suspect's attorney, a true conflict of interest develops--this murder mystery develops into a fun, dramatic romance. Amid the investigation, Rhiannon's visions intensify, and her friend Jenny explains that it may have something to do with past lives. The protagonist gradually begins to solve her mystery as the intriguing murder plot unravels, but her vivid visions of a life on Atlantis don't always jibe with the profane side of the novel. The final revelation, though lifeaffirming, exceeds the bounds of the non-metaphysical narrative with a messianic message that too easily dwarfs the consequences of Allegra's tribulations and the genuinely romantic subplot between Rhiannon and Daniel. However, the intelligent prose and sheer scope make the novel consistently engaging, clever and enjoyable. An ambitious multigenre novel. --Kirkus Discoveries
