About this ebook
What is it about the nature of a vulnerable individual that will tantalize him or her to release a greatly valued treasure to a virtual stranger? Your first meeting with handsome and elusive Roger Davis begins the path to a rare adventure in a world most of us know very little or nothing about.
The gloriously faceted emotions of love and the desire to safely trust in another human undeniably form a powerful set of motivators which propel some into a pathway they choose to never divulge to anyone. In this book, you will travel this tumultuous journey with Nora and learn the potent secret which propelled her forward to a far healthier and more prosperous destination than she couldve imagined.
At the end of each chapter are road markers to increase your preparation in dealing with similar encounters which may affect your friends, family, co-workers and possibly even you. The chapters conclude with applicable scriptural Words of Wisdom to locate where you are on the journey and point the way to emerge in complete victory.

Dedication
T his book is dedicated to a person I have never met—Roger Davis—or rather, the person who hides under that name. I dedicate it to him because underneath all the pain he may cause to his victims, I consider him a victim of his own circumstances. I know he’s at the losing end spiritually. Many times, I ask God to forgive him, and to help him understand the true meaning of the pain and distress he causes. Many people hate him. But the Bible says that love has no end, and it’s true that my love for him has no end. I perceive him as my brother, and I will never hurt him as he hurt me.
I also dedicate this book to the many women and men who, like me, have become victims of an organized industry. They have been stolen from twice. At the same time their money was being extracted, they were also losing the most precious thing God gave us—love. Love, a sentiment that can overcome any obstacle, was trampled, stepped on and abused. Trust was destroyed by the act of deliberate betrayal. I thank God for giving me the courage to endure, forgive and overcome. Now I can help the many people who may come forth to share their stories and receive healing and restoration for their hearts and minds.
I also dedicate this to women because it’s through our strength and faith that we will overcome and gain faith and trust again, with the help of our guide, the Lord Jesus Christ.
Nora Morgan
For if you keep silent at this time, relief and deliverance shall arise for the Jews from elsewhere, but you and your father’s house will perish. And who knows but that you have come to the kingdom for such a time as this and for this very occasion?
Esther 4:14
Acknowledgments
T he insights from Nora’s life-changing experiences are presented in book form thanks to the attention and effort of the people who collaborated to make this exposé possible. I am grateful to each of them.
Katy B. helped develop and prepare the story for publication. I appreciate her perseverance, professionalism and expertise.
Malloy Brown previewed the manuscript and offered insightful suggestions to clarify and refine the telling of the story.
Angela Johana Barbosa graciously provided definitions of the Hebrew words within Mr. Villarreal’s section.
Mr. Enoc Javier Villarreal provided us with a very good explanation of the commandment to forgive and insight about what happens when we forgive the enemy.
I am very fortunate to personally know Mr. Villarreal, whom I love dearly. I consider him a person of great influence in my life. When I started to write this book, he shed some light on the subject by letting me have teachings about forgiveness that are directly taken from the Torah and related writings. I am most grateful for his contribution to this book and for all I have learned from him. The astonishing teachings that he shared with me about the word of God increased my understanding about the importance of having a forgiving heart. I cherish him and respect his knowledge.
40252.pngIntroduction
T he amazing story about to be revealed is based on the true story of Nora, a lady from Argentina. Her heart-wrenching journey has already touched many lives. Our hope is that the eye-opening revelation within the pages of this book becomes a tool to dismantle this quiet, clandestine, and vicious enemy of the Christian community.
The pain and agony of her suffered situation have been the very predictable outcomes within this industry since the beginning of the internet era, which made it possible for invisible predators to creep into unsuspecting homes. Tools that were created for good have been used for evil, and innocent lives have been destroyed in the process. Thanks to Nora’s courage and honesty, we are able to give you insight into how this type of predator operates so that people may learn how to detect the danger and become more aware of the threat. A section of Ponderings
appears at the end of each chapter. The reader is encouraged to think about these to avoid the skillfully set traps and help others stay out of them as well.
Nora has requested that funds from sales of this book be used for the restoration of victims who have been affected by this type of emotional and financial injury. This provision is so that these people have a way to relieve the pain, enter into forgiveness, experience unprecedented and beneficial changes, and restore their lives, as Nora did.
We ask the community to get involved and pass this publication on to family, friends, co-workers, and others. Nobody is exempt from this epidemic. Men, as much as women, have been victims. Those targeted are mostly Christians. We intend to put more than a dent in this very lucrative business. In doing so, we can also help—in many different ways—with the emotional and financial recovery of those affected.
Part of the reason for Nora to have her story told is to reveal a very important thing that happened in her life as a direct result of the evil act unveiled within the next few chapters. Her life was transformed without her knowing that the most powerful weapon against the enemy is our practice of the commandment to forgive. Nora’s transformation was unbelievable. In acknowledging this, we also have to acknowledge that the very thing Satan meant for evil, God used for good, so that we can gratefully glorify Him.

Meeting My Prince
Chapter One
Meeting My Prince
A s planned—exactly one year ago to the day—Nora is on her way to meet the man she had grown to know and love. Nora mentally pictures his image from the photos he emailed and texted her. Yet this first face-to-face meeting will not be with the man in the photos.
Nora Morgan is five feet three inches tall. She’s an attractive forty-five year-old woman of Hispanic heritage whose parents still live in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in South America. She inherited her wavy black hair from her American father. It’s highlighted with a few strands of gray that Nora is allowing to remain for now. It flatteringly frames her olive-toned, round face, which she inherited from her Argentinean mother. Yet her hair isn’t the first thing noticeable about Nora. People often comment on her beautiful smile and perfectly straight, snowy white teeth. When Nora looks in the mirror, she’s always pleased to see that not a single wrinkle has carved its way into her face. Nora has lost 55 pounds during the past year, and her 138-pound frame exudes strength and energy, thanks to almost daily workout routines and healthy eating.
Silver Meteor Amtrak train number 98 is smoothly transporting her over the 1,053 mile distance separating Richmond, Virginia, and Tampa, Florida. This is Nora’s first experience riding in a train, and she’s surprised that it seems endless. Entranced by the steady rhythm of the train’s motion, she becomes aware of the excitement bubbling up from deep within her soul.
Nora decides to leave her seat, hoping her physical movement out through the doorway, down the narrow hall, and into the bright dining car, will provide something else to focus her mind on. As she sits down in one of the few empty seats, the menu lying on the tablecloth stares at her.
Ma’am?
the waiter says for the second time. Are you ready to order, or do you need a few more minutes?
Oblivious to his efforts to capture her decision about what to eat, she finally selects the first menu item her neatly polished fingernail lands on—the marinated vegetable entrée salad.
She absent-mindedly wonders whether she should order an energy drink to go with the meal since she hasn’t slept the past two nights. Deciding not to tax her racing heart even more with a mega dose of caffeine, Nora says to the departing waiter, Oh, could you also bring me the herbal hibiscus tea and some honey?
Although the dining car is fairly noisy, Nora doesn’t know a soul and needs to talk with someone who knows her situation. She
