Clint's previous book "Scent" was the first of three novels in a "Sensations Series." These novels are based on the human senses of sight, hearing, taste, touch, and smell. Through mystery and suspense they reveal how the senses provide us with portals of discovery through which we not only apprehend our surroundings and all of creation, but God and the spiritual realm.

"I didn't want to put it down
and when I had to, I couldn't wait
until it was time to read it again."
-- Rita Butler, Florida


In Scent, the most provocative and exciting perfume ever smelled is captured in a bottle. Extracted from the rare celerides orchid, a jungle flower that blooms but twelve days of the year, the fragrance is a scent sensation that takes the public by storm.

It is named "Cassandra" after Cassandra Dixon, who for twenty years has fought against all odds to survive in the cutthroat world of glamour cosmetics. She and husband Nicholas are about to be crowned the queen and king of fragrance.  Her namesake is about to earn them both renown and a pile of gold.

But someone doesn't want that to happen and tries everything to sabotage the Dixons and their runaway sensation. But those efforts fail and pre-sales go through the roof. Then, on the eve of Cassandra's release, its dark and shocking secret rises from petals of luscious pink to destroy. Can the Dixons and those they love survive this evil?  Will "the very breath of beauty" be their downfall or their salvation?
