Sabrina's Destiny, an award winning novel, is described as a romantic comedy with a paranormal twist. This book won the best paranormal book contest in the 2003-2004 Treble Heart Best Book contest and and won the Reviewers Choice Award, Road to Romance.
The right woman. The wrong man. The road to Sabrina's destiny is lined with a mystical force. Can magic restore the down-on-her-luck innkeeper's faith in herself? Will a case of mistaken identity be the key to unmasking the hero inside the business tycoon?
Sabrina's Destiny by Selena Robins, begins as follows:
PROLOGUE
“God! Is this another test?” Sabrina Monroe tilted her head heavenward and stared at the dark-purple hazed October sky.
“Okay, I don’t blame you.” She hopped onto the hood of her now comatose fifteen-year- old Firebird. “You have to admit though--I keep bumping into bad luck.” She glanced around at the long deserted rural road--grateful there wasn’t a soul in sight to witness her loud outburst.
“Sabrina,” a soft voice called out to her. “Believing in yourself is half the secret.”
Startled, Sabrina stumbled off the car and stood before a middle-aged woman with curly, pink hair. Pink as it was, it looked natural. She wore faded jeans and a green T-shirt.
Where did she come from?
“Do I know you?” Sabrina asked with caution as she inched back toward her car. “How…how do you know my name?”
“You’re wearing it.” The stranger pointed a pink manicured finger to the brass-plated nametag pinned on Sabrina’s blouse.
“Oh? I thought I’d removed this,” Sabrina whispered in astonishment. She recovered her composure and met the hand extended to her.
“My name is Lucinda. A little girl once named me Lucy. It stuck.”
Lucy hummed a soft tune and sauntered around the Firebird.
Sabrina swung her head in all directions as she searched for the stranger’s mode of transportation--a car, truck, a hot air balloon--a spaceship?
Roswell--I knew I shouldn’t have watched that documentary.
Nothing was impossible. And how about the group that passed through town last year--BABA, Businessmen Abducted By Aliens. Everyone had laughed at the time, but maybe they had left this one behind!
Great.
Not only was she stuck in the middle of nowhere, but the day had arrived--the men in white coats were probably around the corner ready to whisk her away. She had prayed for solutions to ease her troubles. It looked like her request had been answered in the form of a breakdown--she’d lost it!
“Sabrina, relax. You’re fine.”
Did she speak aloud? Wonderful, she had told a perfect stranger she was in the middle of a mental crisis. She had been suspicious of Ms. Pink Hair, when all along her mind was as lost as a star in the day. Talk about role reversal.
Sabrina shrugged. “I give up.”
“Anyone can give up. It's the easiest thing in the world to do. But to hold it together when everyone expects you to fall apart, well, that's true strength--the stuff you’re made of.”
Sabrina nodded in answer. It was still possible this was a dream and a result of all the nachos and chocolate she’d devoured at midnight to chase away her tension.
The air stilled with a quiet hush, and the leaves on the trees stopped rustling in the wind. It was as though she’d been transported to another time zone, or was it the Twilight Zone?
