           In a desperate, high seas escape, a deadly syndicate of
    human traffickers pursue a millionaire and his apparent
    mistress across a thousand miles of ocean. Savagely beaten
    and wounded, John Cheramie must somehow save Grace
    Theriot from the threat of unspeakable horrors. But a moment
    of complacency proves fatal, John's yacht boarded in
    darkness. Outnumbered and mortally wounded, he refuses to
    fall, but when the deadly thrust of a long knife takes all but
    his dying whisper, then Grace must decide... Either protect an
    eight-thousand year old secret, or call upon the wrath of
    heaven and hell for sake of -- love.

           ...A revelation of her mystery that may save his life, but
    separate them forever...








Fallen Angel

           In a time before the Sumerian civilizations of
    Mesopotamia, an ancient spirit falls in love with a mortal
    woman of pure heart and uncommon beauty. Longing for
    more than the whisper of her thoughts, he gathers the
    elements of an epic storm and, from her dreams, forges the
    body of a warrior graced with the child-like wonder of an
    angel.

           Though, scarcely, after his first drawn breath, he
    discovers his own mortal rage. In a primitive world gone mad
    with war, he stands over her splayed body, left for dead on
    the scorched stones of a wilderness wasteland. But it's not
    archaic weapons that threaten to wrest her from the reach of a
    spirit’s miracle. It's the seed of forbidden love that will either
    destroy her, or if she should survive … condemn immortals
    to walk the earth to the end of time.











Last Fallen

                   Carolyn was only the second woman he’d ever loved,
    and on September 11th, hers was one of more than two
    thousand lives lost.

           For Jack Cheramie, his wife’s trembling voice forever
    haunts him -- her final moments captured in eternity on their
    apartment's answer machine. Her desperate plea, her last
    whisper of love. Her frightened cry that ultimately splintered
    into static as the second tower fell. A tortured reminder
    that he’d failed her, the only woman who could bring calm to
    the storm that was his life. What would she think, if she’d
    known the truth? That he could have saved her… or that he
    might still try.

You have shown me
love, and I have
destroyed you...













...have you no miracle
left that I might feel
your arms around me,
to feel your heart
beating next to mine…
That I might feel your
breath on my lips, just
once more...
“Twice or thrice had I
loved thee,
Before I knew thy face
or name;















So in a voice, so in a
shapeless flame,
Angels affect us oft, and
worshipp'd be.”

Air and Angels -John
Donne
