Aces and Orange Peels is the soul-stirring story about an intuitive Cuban woman named Spirit Leonard, a single mother from Toronto, Canada, who is compelled to make good on an eighteen-year-old promise—to unite her son, Jace, with his father, Lucas Moreno, in Sevilla, Spain. There’s a reason Spirit left Lucas, and the seductive allure of Sevilla all those years ago—unspoken intuition.

And now, her instincts can’t bear the thought of Jace, whom she has single-handedly raised to near adulthood, becoming ensnared in Lucas’s web of deception. Jace has the heart of an athlete and is fueled by discipline and determination.

He’s transcended Lucas's precarious path but a two-week trip to Spain could ruin everything. As such, Spirit intuits a heart-stopping tarot card message.

Still, there’s no reneging on her promise to the ever-persistent, Lucas Moreno. 'A broken promise doth have consequences,' he'd say.

Regardless of Spirit’s strong intuition urging her to cancel their upcoming trip to Sevilla, Spirit knows Lucas will find a way to cross paths with Jace; at least while on the trip together, she can do her best to shield Jace from anything that might impede his well-being and scholarly future. While basking in Sevillian ambiance, an escalation of nightmarish visions and conflicting guidance from the ethereal coincide with the temptation of Lucas's sexual advances and, it’s not long before Spirit falls prey to her former lover’s persuasiveness, again, regardless of his past misgivings (after all, she is on the brink of midlife, teetering on the edge of empty-nester-hood, and well aware of the looming solitude).

A rekindled romance, coupled with Jace's half-baked decision to trade higher education and long-term soccer aspirations for the affections of an exotic Sevillian Flamenco dancer, would seem Lucas is about to regain control of everything he’d once lost. In a world marred by misogyny and corruption, Spirit's reality erupts into chaos.

A desperate mother is catapulted into a blinding reservoir of awareness— forced to grapple with the enigmatic aspects of higher self. To save her son, Spirit must place her trust in forces larger than her wildest imaginings and harness her innate gifts—even the nightmarish ones.
