The Longest Drive
He watched me. He wanted me. He stalked me. I asked him to leave me alone, but does a tiger leave its prey? In the end though it was my choice to go with him. Jolana really didn't know why she'd decided to stay for the summer in Oregon, instead of going home to South Africa for a visit, but the answer soon came. With that answer came a choice and she chose the hard way, because it was in her nature to love. Love, however, was the last thing the man who'd stalked her for over a month deserved surely and yet God's Grace is freely given to all. Sometimes one has to find out the hard way just how far one can trust God to keep you and bring you through to the end. The Longest Drive is the beginning of a four book series entitled Apocalypto. As the title of the series would suggest things have a way of going wrong in a bad way quite quickly. Each story within this series is independent of each other and yet they all help to answer the question of, "Where will you be when things go wrong?" The better question is, "Will you do the right thing, when that time comes?" In this series expect to find intensely felt erotic passion, faith that moves mountains, and the desperate actions of those who love each other as they fight to survive one more day in a world where society has fallen and there's a natural disaster around each new corner. This is Christian Erotic Themed Fiction with an Apocalyptic flare told over into a modern era of a time that could happen any moment now.Concluida
