Jessa was held prisoner for her first sixteen years until she was freed by Nick Kingson, a young police officer. Now Nick is back to protect her when Jessa's father searches for the daughter he abandoned. There's a lot of money involved and a lot of prestige, and those two elements mean that Jessa may not live to see an inheritance. Jessa and Nick go back to the town where she was once held captive. But she's no longer The Girl in the Tower. Will she get the chance to be the person she was meant to be? Or will an old enemy stop her before she can gain her inheritance?

Imagine being torn away from all you know and love. Now imagine being torn away from your place in time. That's what happened to Nico Haidess who is trapped, not just in time, but in a reincarnation gone wrong. He's a Guide with the History Patrol, sent back from 2190 and now stranded in 21st century America. He's been reunited with the love of his life, Lucinda Delacroix, who has been reincarnated in this place and time. There's only one problem: he doesn't recognize her as his lost love and she doesn't recognize him. To Lucinda, Nico is just a handsome stranger, a man who seems oddly familiar. And to Nico-a paid assassin-Lucinda is just an assignment, a suspected traitor. He must kill her on Easter morning and make it look like an accident. Luckily one other creature can help. Cerberus is a telepathic dog on special assignment with the History Patrol, sent to bring these two lovers together. Cerberus has a vested interest in the fate of Nico Haidess and he'll do whatever it takes to see Nico and Lucinda reunited-even if it means dying and defying God to accomplish his purpose. But the clock is ticking for all of them and time is running out.

Seven years ago, I was kidnapped and held against my will by a monster who made me his 'bride'. By the time I jumped out of a window and escaped, running naked through the snow to freedom, I was mangled into the person I am today, a scarred and crippled woman whose lover was brutally murdered, whose life was torn asunder, a creature who lost everything in those nights of terror. Have you ever wondered what happens to us afterward, to those who were missed? Have you ever wondered how we feel, how we adjust to 'real life' again? Have you ever wondered what would happen if we could face the nightmare? Have you ever wondered how good revenge might feel?

I thought I knew the dirt about an old Hollywood crime, a murder that was covered up by crooked cops and the studio. I decided to write a tell-all about the murder, hoping to flush out the killer who was responsible for the assault of a dear friend. I used a pen name so nobody would think that Mike Braddock, Hollywood's ex-leading man, was Micki Bradford, the Queen of Suspense. I didn't count on the book taking off like a rocket or the cops coming to my door, demanding to know how I knew the details about that old murder. I didn't count on being in demand as a conference speaker--well, not me, Mike, but me, Micki, being in demand. And I sure didn't count on going to a writer's conference in drag, to help find the killer and right an old wrong. I wasn't too worried. I was an actor, after all. I could pull off a couple of days, pretending to be a woman. Right?

Turns out he was a demon and he called in a favor to get an angel to help him.Me.If I can help Griffen Hunter with his runaway daughter problem, I just might receive that promotion I've been angling to get for lo these many years.

Heh.Flo: And we learned that there are many kinds of rescues, both for angels and humans.As long as I was willing to give my life to make it happen.
