When he realized too late the new odor was a prelude announcing death, he knew his new sense of smell is a gift, not a curse. At a young age Lauraline Reese escaped death, yet its specter still haunts her. Unable to let go of the feeling that death has not forgotten her, Lauraline finds it hard to find peace with the storm that almost took her life. When Lauraline walks into his life, Bryan knows instantly that she is different from the others. He doesn't know why she appeared, but there is one thing he is sure of: his life is about to change. He just doesn't know how. As the two grow close, Lauraline helps Bryan discover a vital message, and Bryan finds himself in a race against death to set things right. Can Bryan live a normal life despite his talent in scenting death? Or will he be forever marred by the curse of knowing when someone will die next? Scented is a stirring new tale for those drawn to stories with mysterious supernatural forces, unexpected powers and budding young love.
