Our love was set in motion a hundred years ago… Jane moves with her son to a run-down old house to enjoy the country life she has always longed for. However, there is a rumor that the house is haunted… She doesn''t mind at all, but one night a stranger shows up. His name is Zachary, and he says and does a lot of strange things. But even more bothersome is that he looks exactly like an old portrait hanging in her house. He claims to be the man in the portrait… But that would mean he''s more than a hundred years old!

In 1987 young ATF agent Joshua Kendall was part of a raid on the Young Believers cultish compound. His bullet killed an innocent girl, and his guilt has destroyed everything good in his life ever since. But he’s about to learn that the most shattering incident of his life was a lie. Lizzie survived that raid, barely. Now (2004) she lives in rural Vermont, still hiding from the cult leader who has eluded capture all these years. She goes by Beth Slocum and she’s tired of looking over her shoulder, and wishes if he were coming for her, Mordecai would get it over with. Josh is sent to protect Beth and recognizes her as soon as he looks into her eyes. He’d been told she was dead—and it has colored every second of his life since. But she’s alive. Now his job is to keep her that way, and that means lying to her about who he is. If she knew, she’d send him packing. When attraction builds into desire between then, he knows he has to tell her the truth, but before he has the chance, Mordecai’s obsessive madness rains destruction on everyone Beth loves. He is determined to bring her to her knees. He wants her gutted before he she dies. Like a silver screen cliché, Beth is falling in love with her bodyguard, but she knows he’s keeping secrets. What’s between them, however, will have to wait until they’ve dealt with a madman who believes he’s on a mission from God to destroy her utterly.

Charismatic cult leader Mordecai Young was brought down in a government raid on the Young Believers compound sixteen years ago. So were most of his teenage followers. But not all of them. Jewel and Lizzie were making their escape with Lizzie’s baby girl when the compound caught fire. Lizzie was hit in the crossfire, and begged Jewel to save her baby, fathered by the cult leader. Sixteen years later, Jewel has transformed herself. She is respected Syracuse news Anchor Julie Jones and lives on a crystal blue Lake with her sixteen-year-old daughter Dawn*. Only one person alive knows their true history—a senator’s brother who who is using it to blackmail her—until he turns up murdered. Sean MacKenzie is an irreverent radio shock jock who just landed the co-anchor chair opposite his best enemy, Julie Jones. Viewers love the sparks that fly between them on-air. Behind the scenes, those sparks are even more volatile. But Sean knows Julie is keeping secrets about the murder of the senator’s brother. She was there, is acting nervous as hell, and if there’s one thing he’s good at, it’s uncovering secrets. But Mordecai didn’t die in that fire, despite that Jewel stepped over his broken body with his child in her arms and left him to burn as she made her escape. He survived, and now he’s back for vengeance, determined to claim his daughter and punish those who betrayed him, beginning with Julie Jones. *Dawn is the heroine of Book 4, Killing Me Softly
