Mary Miller receives a startling
visitation from Gabriel, the Messenger of God. The Archangel reveals an
astounding truth--Mary is the Princess of the Light and even more amazing, her
destiny is to battle Lucifer's army of demons and restore the balance of good
and evil on Earth. It's getting harder to fulfill her new role and keep her
identity secret while juggling her personal life, and when Than, Lucifer's
second in command, amps up the attacks on her, she knows she needs help.
Joe Deacons is everything she's ever
wanted in a man. And as providence would have it, in a moment of great need,
he's the Warrior of Light--the one who can help her defeat the forces of
darkness.
Not so simple when they confront Lisbeth,
a demon hell-bent on usurping Than and Lucifer himself. When Lisbeth wages war and several innocent
people die, Mary must form an alliance with her enemy in order to destroy
her. But will this be a grave error or
the choice that saves their world?

Excerpt:
Marie furrowed
her brow and softly interrupted, "André is the Walking Man?"
I looked at
Marie and asked, "You've heard of him?"
Marie nodded.
"Of course. He is a staple of the Downtown area. There are a few groups
I'm affiliated with that hand out food and clothing to those in need. He never
comes to these events so I leave them by the area where he sleeps." She
paused, thoughtfully. "I just can't believe that it is André."
Joe cleared his
throat and looked at his father. "What happened to André?"
Alfred sighed
and after a moment said, "It really was the fault of that witch he was
married to. She and her family treated him horribly. She was a gold digger and
all she cared about was money and the prestige."
Marie interrupted
Alfred by saying, "I remember her. She was so mean to André and all she
cared about was looking rich. Wealth
is a gift—she just wanted it for a toy. She treated André so badly... and his
mother-in-law was the worst. She would put him down all the time. In front of
other people, no less."
Alfred
continued, "André was a good man and worked hard. He was working on a big
project for the city. He worked night and day on the project and told me it was
going to put Golden Lake on the map.
"He
absolutely adored his daughter, too. I remember that clearly. She was his
everything." Alfred paused, apparently lost in his thoughts. With a sigh
he said, "There was a scandal with the project, though, and André got
fired. Soon after, Dara left him, took Katherine with her and André fell apart.
He started drinking heavily and, without his daughter, his life fell
apart."
Joe looked at me
and I fought to keep from throwing my hand over my mouth. There was purple fire
in his eyes and I felt his anger. I already knew the story of André and I tried
to smile at him.
I smelled burning flesh. Joe flashed in full armor
fighting demons with a golden sword.
I gasped at the
vision and brought my hand to my chest in shock feeling the key necklace,
before I could stop the physical reaction. The necklace weighed heavily as did
my heart. He would be fighting at my side soon.
Marie asked,
"Are you okay, dear?"
Joe turned to
look at his mother. He nodded and only said, "I never knew any of
this."
Alfred
continued, "I am sorry, son, but you asked for the truth. This is what I
know. André was sleeping at the office and drinking all the time. He was
supposed to give a presentation to a client and was drunk. He got into a
scuffle with his boss and rumor has it, André punched him."
I feigned shock
and said, "Oh my!"
Than is to blame. I don't know how I know or what
happened but I vow to the Lord that I will make Than pay, thought Joe.
I choked and
almost spit out my drink. I just heard
Joe's thoughts! I had to set him straight and right away.
I cleared my
throat and said awkwardly, "Joe, I think I left something in the
car."
Joe looked at me
with eyebrows raised. "Excuse me, we'll be right back," I said with a
smile.
I walked outside
and knew that Joe was right behind me. When I reached the car, I whirled and
said in a stern tone, "Are you trying to get yourself killed?"
Joe stopped
mid-step and said, "What are you talking about, Mary?"
I ran into his
arms and whispered, "You cannot take on Than by yourself! I heard your
thoughts in there. Now, I don't know how you know that it was Than who drove
André to punching his boss but please promise me that you will not get revenge."
I paused to
catch my breath and remembered what Gabriel told me. "Joe, in order to
defeat the darkness and not become dark ourselves, we need to have a pure
heart. We are filled with the Light and our motives must always be to speak the
Truth and spread the Light."
Joe took several
deep breaths while he held me. He stroked my hair and whispered, "I'm
sorry, my angel. I didn't mean to frighten you and you are right. It was just a
momentary thought."
I lifted my head
and locked eyes with Joe. Tears filled my eyes but I was determined. I bit at
my top lip and then whispered, "Promise me you won't put yourself in
harm's way." Hot tears spilled down my cheeks.
Joe wiped at
them and said in a deep, reassuring tone, "I promise, Mary. I promise I
won't be a hothead and I won't be rash." Then, he laid his forehead on
mine and whispered, "Please don't cry, darling. Please."
I nodded and
whispered, "I would die if I lost you. Than will use you to try to get to
me. You are my love, my everything." My voice cracked. "I would die
if I lost you," I repeated.
Joe shook my
shoulders a little and looked deep into my eyes. "Listen to me, Mary, you
will never lose me! Do you hear me? I am by your side now and forever."
Overcome with
emotion, Joe kissed me.

things chocolate, books, music, movies, art, sports, trains, history, cooking
and baking. Their mantra is to spread the Light.

sunny North Carolina with her husband, a brood of
critters and an occasional foster cat. The last animal member of the family, a
kitten, came hurtling out of the woods in southern Illinois to land at her
feet. He made the trek back to North Carolina, with her and her husband, and
wasted no time settling into the household.
