About this ebook
Part 10 of the Rory and Madelaine saga.
After kidnapping her, Bishop Reid takes Madelaine back to the house where James returns and finds them.
With a renewed sense of independence and empowerment, James steals her away from the priest and rushes her to a safe place, but Madelaine has fallen into a coma.
It's now, more than ever, when Rory's infamous fearlessness and passionate determination become Madelaine's only hope when they could mean the difference between her life or her death.

{PLEASE SCROLL DOWN FOR THE LIST OF MY AVAILABLE E-BOOKS} I've always enjoyed storytelling, ever since I was a child. My love for storytelling has evolved from hand-drawn comic strips, to creating hand-puppets - "Meemies and Fluffies" - for my younger brother and sisters' morning puppet show, to writing stories in longhand in spirals armed with only a Penmate pen while battling a stiff hand and dreaming of a day when I'd finally own a typewriter. Today, in my peaceful Southern California home near the mountains, I can't go a day without my computer and I now enjoy storytelling via my e-books, specializing in mystery, drama, Young Adult and paranormal romance. If you've read one of my books and like them, please leave a review, good or bad, and add me as a favorite author {a single click on a button to your left is all it takes}.

01_96_DividerHeart_PNGA Certain Sobering
Rory awakened feeling a hell of a lot better than he had in months. But unfortunately, that sense of elation was short lived. The moment he opened his eyes, he got a disturbing feeling something was more than just a little off. Then, coming fully awake as was his wont the moment his eyes opened, he snapped his tousled head aside to look at the place beside him and he felt an instant sense of loss sink his heart.
The place beside him was empty.
For a few moments he seemed paralyzed, lying there in stunned silence. He stared at that empty spot on the pillow beside him as his hopes of looking into her familiar face again in the morning were ruthlessly dashed.
For just a few moments more, he lay there wondering if it had all been a dream. Everything inside him told him it wasn’t, but his mind was trying to lend his pride a degree of comfort that if it all were just a dream, it would be easier to accept than to acknowledge she’d left him.
Then he frowned as he slowly rose to sit in the bed as the grogginess enveloping his brain slowly lifted. No. It hadn’t been a dream. The way his body was feeling now, relaxed and satiated from the events of the night before, he was convinced it all had really happened.
So…where the hell was she then?
He perked his ears, listening for any sound in the hotel room. Even as quiet as she always tended to be, she couldn’t help but make her special noises. A rustling skirt. The soft scuffing sounds of her flats on the floor…a soft sigh. But to his disappointment, this time, he heard nothing. Only silence. Just annoying silence.
Maddy?
No answer. Then again, he expected as much.
He tossed his covers aside and got out of bed. When he realized he was naked, he paused in thought. He realized she just might still be somewhere in the hotel room or, if she’d gone out for a spell, she might return just at the moment he walked into the sitting room stark naked.
Afraid his nudity would startle her—even after the night they’d shared—he decided to put something on. He went in search of his robe, finding it on the floor just where he’d left it the night before.
Despite awakening with no Maddy beside him, he was in pretty high spirits that morning. His handsome face looked relaxed, even happy,
