Chloe’s Heart
O.M. Aguilar
Chloe’s Heart introduces Shana Niguel–lesbian, private investigator, and one-time FBI agent. From age seven, Shana has been afflicted by nudges (peculiar intuitions)–a heightened sense of awareness that winds its way into her psyche, unsolicited and unwanted. The nudges do not, as some like to believe, make Shana clairvoyant. In fact, Shana has always refused to believe that the nudges are something the universe gave her for her own benefit. It’s not that she has never tried to see the mental impressions as a gift; it’s just that they have never, not felt like a curse. Shana’s nudges, however, along with her professional skills, will become vital as she investigates, tries to salvage reputations, and falls in love.The case: small-town, Casper Springs–a corpse, a bloody trail, a missing murder weapon, and an officer suspected of evidence tampering to protect himself and the suspect, his gay brother’s lover. In the midst of all this … the woman who will capture Shana’s heart.From the onset, Shana will have her hands full, trying to console her lovable and unconventional sidekick, Guadalupe, who has just discovered she is pregnant. Guad is adamant about not marrying her longtime live-in and resents him for even suggesting it; she claims to be allergic to the word norm and abhors anything that is either not (or too) politically correct. Helping Guad cope while trying to solve a mystery that holds personal implications for Shana, has its good, bad, and frustrating moments, but always with an affectionate and comical bent.Chloe’s Heart is so titled, because it is the thread that runs at the core of the mystery; the thing that motivates those who would love, possess, control, and even destroy Chloe. It is a poignant story of self-discovery and tragic loss that is conveyed with a necessary sense of humor because it is also, perhaps primarily, a tale about people, the wonder of relationships, and their unrelenting intimacies.
