The Fountain of Youth is buried beneath the streets of Miami, and a team of archaeologists will soon discover why.
Luisa Ramirez is nineteen, immortal, and living in Jazz Age Miami. Some would consider it paradise, but for Luisa, it is more like paradise lost. Centuries have passed since her galleon washed up in the lagoon. Too many of her loved ones have grown old and died. She can no longer bear to be the custodian of their memories.
So when Luisa falls in love with Anastasia, she is determined to free herself from her immortality, and live a single lifetime with the woman she loves. But Luisa’s life is not hers to give. She is bound to the nymph who once guarded the Fountain of Youth. Only by finding the nymph, and returning her to the Fountain, can Luisa become mortal again.
Standing in her way is Miami’s other immortal citizen, Juan Ponce De Leon. He has claimed the Fountain, for his own, and will not relinquish his prize without a fight.
Told in three narratives: 1567, 1926, and 2005, Miami is a Paranormal-Mystery, complete at 98,000 words.
