How wise could it possibly be to help a stranger you find bleeding in an alleyway at two in the morning? This alone could have life altering consequences that may not be beneficial to your immediate health. But when that man informs you that he is not even human, what are you supposed to believe? Is he a psychopath? Or worse, could he be telling the truth? In "Take My Hand," Jocelyn Madison, a young woman with a painful past, makes the choice to show compassion for an injured man who turns out to be Gabriel Carson, a vampire who despises the very immortality he has been granted. The two meet by chance, but in a world where everything happens for a reason, they just might turn out to be the saving grace that heals the pain of each of their pasts and paves the way for a new future if they can simply embrace the love that each can offer the other. The road will not be easy, as life has the tendency to throw speedbumps in our path just when we think we can't handle anything more, but the reward will be all the sweeter in the light of the challenges that must be overcome to attain it.

Genesis Augustin loved to dance. It was her very life and breath. She would spend hours prancing across the floors of the old dance studio in New York, perfecting every spin and twist. Even after a disturbed past, Genesis shone through to be the best ballet girl in her small group. When her break to perform on Broadway struck, she nailed it with ease and determination. In turn, she made her way up with the "big kids", performing in a world traveling show of The Phantom of the Opera, one of her favorites. But, suddenly a stumbling block made its way into her blossoming career. Perhaps her only salvation could come through Jett Devon, aka the Phantom on stage. He was shy, reserved, but certainly a cunning and handsome individual. It was certain he had secrets of his own he wished not to share. As he waltzed into Genesis's life, things started to change, hearts stared to melt, and passions began to bloom. But was Jett's secrets far too great for Genesis to handle? And what would happened when love and past mistakes started to collide? One last ballet...one last waltz...this one with more passion than ever before. So I ask you, once more if never again, waltz with me... ________________________________________________________ Warning: Rated PG-13. Not suggested for young reader.

~Alan- We thought this job would be the death of us; constantly on a mission and every one is life or death. We were wrong, though. The job, the gunfire, the sneaking, the cafeteria food... none of it is as dangerous as our own thoughts, and there is nothing you can do to stop them. I close my eyes once I know she's asleep, finally safe from her thoughts, for now, and, as I hold her in my arms, I feel invincible. I feel like I could stop the world from ever marring the skin of this angel again. Maybe, just maybe I can mend her broken wings and keep her safe, here, with me, forever. But dreams are only dreams and none of us are angels. Not yet, anyways
