Madeleine & the Mind — Felicia Mires

Sunny Spain and a chance for love.

Madeleine Price enjoyed her vacation to sunny Spain until someone knocks her out and steals all her possessions. Now, there's only one way for her to buy a plane ticket for home...earn the money. When the American Embassy offers her a job as a speech therapist, she assumes she'll be working with a child.

She isn't at all prepared for her reaction to the extremely virile scientist Dr. Steven Faraday, that is, until he looks her way. Can she help someone with eyes that vacant? Someone tried to kill the dear scientist for something he doesn't remember. Madeleine has to help him open the door to his memory, or she won't be going home.

Their first outings don't go so well:

~He ties her shoe laces together

~Pushes her in the pool

~And loses her in a maze

She doesn't know whether to slap him or yell at him. Then he smiles. He resembles a child-like angel that moves her heart to compassion. One who desperately needs her. Can she help him overcome his frustration and inability to communicate?

But Steven's childlike antics aren't the only drawback to this job. Someone doesn't like her interference. After an attempt to drown Madeleine, in which her patient saves her life, she realizes the two of them are safer together.

Weeks go by, and Steven makes great progress relating to Madeleine. So much so, she feels her heart may never be the same. Romance wasn't what the Embassy had in mind when they sent her to the Institute. Besides, Madeleine doesn't think Steven has ever learned about God. She can't fall in love with someone who doesn't understand her faith, a patient who can't even speak to her.

But forces are closing in on them. Someone wants Dr. Steven Faraday's missile plans, and they won't let a little thing like killing Madeleine and Steven get in their way.

Madeleine & the Mind is a Christian romantic suspense book of approximately 158 print pages.
