The Gift: A Romantic Thriller Kindle Edition

by Barbara Avon (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.6 out of 5 stars (4)
Brooding, sexy, restaurant owner, Michael Rossi is determined to unravel the mystery behind the lady in the red coat. One secret can speak a thousand truths.

Michael Rossi has an extraordinary talent. Every day, he sets out with his grandfather's camera to capture incredible images like the ones his Nonno used to take in Italy. His girlfriend recently left him with a broken heart and he's grateful for the distraction. One day, he sees through his lens, a beautiful woman kneeling at a headstone. He quietly snaps her picture and retreats to his two-bedroom home in the city, developing the film in his darkroom. He returns to the cemetery daily and every day, the woman is also there. Finally, one day, Michael gathers the courage to approach her. Once Nicole tears down her walls, it doesn't take them long to fall in love. She harbors a secret, however, a secret that she is ashamed of and that has changed her in ways she can't describe. If spoken, it would threaten the love she shares with Michael. Ultimately, Michael becomes aware that something isn't right. The words unspoken between them, become the most powerful of all. Is their love strong enough to survive? Or will Nicole's secret take them down a dark hole that spirals deeper and deeper into uncertainty and into the hands of a killer?

I am a wife, sister, daughter, an aunt and a friend. I am a lover of words and a firm believer that if you "lose your dreams, you might lose your mind." (The Rolling Stones)

Follow your dreams and your heart will be abundant with love. It really is that simple. God Bless and thank you from the bottom of my heart for following me on this incredible journey.

I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. - Pablo Neruda.

Barbara Avon grew up Italian in the Niagara Falls Region and attended Notre Dame High School, and then Brock University. In 1999, she moved to Ottawa to pursue work and has worked for two major Ottawa area magazines. Being a shy kid in school, she created stories in her head, and when her Grade 9 English teacher awarded one of her short stories an A +, she knew that she would one day write a novel.

Avon is a multi-genre author. She’s written Romance, Romantic Thrillers, Time Travel, Mystery, Horror, and Paranormal Romance. Her work appears in various anthologies including Steering 23 Publications, and Beyond the Levee, and her stories have been regularly featured on the Spillwords Press website. In October of 2022, “Revived” was chosen as “Horror Book of the Year” by the “Feed My Reads” community, and in February of 2025, "Sultry Is the Night", received the Literary Titan Gold Medal Award for Fiction. In April of 2025, Avon won the Editor's Choice Award for Literary Excellence from Reader's House Magazine. Her work has also appeared in Publisher's Weekly Magazine.

When she’s not writing, she’s experimenting in the kitchen with her husband, spends her time reading, and watching 1980s movies, and always lives with her characters in her head while working on her current novel. Avon has quoted: I believe in magic. Books are magic. Love is the most remarkable magic.

    5.0 out of 5 stars The Gift by Barbara Avon
    Reviewed in the United States on October 22, 2017
    Format: Paperback
    I'd be hanging on to this book because I wanted to devote my attention to it that is rightfully deserved.
    This novel is about courage and hope and Barb Avon wants us to know that we should never give up. I didn't want the story to end and I can't wait to find out what happens in "Michael's Choice"!
    I definitely recommend this book to other readers, and once again I give "The Gift" 5 stars since I know it's important for other readers to learn about courage and to never give up.
    Thank you Barb Avon for putting your life on paper and thank you for sharing your talent with us, your readers.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Realistic, short romantic thriller, deals with trauma
    Reviewed in Canada on June 9, 2023
    Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
    I enjoyed this book. At first I wasn't sure it was a thriller, but as the story progressed, I realized why is. I was pleasantly surprised. I also wasn't sure what was going on with the POV at first, but I quickly realized it wasn't just 3rd person like I suspected, it was omniscient.

    But I really enjoyed the story. I loved the characters, how real they felt with their trauma and troubles. And I love how this is a factor in this book, not just an occurrence.

    I also love that the prologue is integrated in the later story, it means something and it connected to the rest of the story.

    This story is a good read and it's pretty quick. I just took forever to pick it up then to pick it up again after feeling burnt out. And I'm excited for the sequel.
