Book Description
Angel Finally Found His Wings is an intimate and candid memoir about a child surviving life on the streets as a prostitute. Twelve-year-old "Angel" shares a room at the YMCA in New York City with thirty-four-year-old Charlie, the pimp who is blackmailing him. Angel's mom is battling schizophrenia while Charlie, the neighborhood Boy Scout leader, grooms him away from his impoverished family, threatening to return his mother to a mental institution if Angel doesn't turn tricks on 42nd Street, the sex trade epicenter. Taking place between 1972 and 1977 on the war-torn, crime-infested streets of New York, Angel, whose real name is Ron, maintains his normal-kid status to his family, classmates, and football buddies in Brooklyn while surviving life-threatening situations hustling. Told in the dual consciousness of Ron as both a growing teenage boy and our first-person narrator looking back at his life, Angel Finally Found His Wings is emotionally wrenching and disarmingly direct. We live life on the razor's edge with Angel who, unlike most street kids, is honest and kind with his clients while rooting for Ron to escape Charlie's control, protect his mother, and recapture his life. Ron Hunter was chosen to take part in the 2010 Oprah episode "200 Men" that dealt with male childhood sexual abuse. This story unpacks the label "victim" while reframing a boy's struggle with his sexual identity and deconstructing the harrowing and gritty story behind extreme trauma. Angel Finally Found His Wings is a story of resiliency and finding self-love; it's a journey of faith paving the way for perseverance. Ron always follows his heart and, in doing so, claims ownership over his past and redefines himself on terms self-created. Ron Hunter is a lover of life, a survivor of sexual abuse, and a person of profound faith in the miraculous. He is a former US Army sergeant and a career flight attendant.

Following the bestselling novels The Left Hand of God and The Last Four Things comes the final installment of Paul Hoffman’s stark, epic trilogy. Thomas Cale has been running from the truth…. Since discovering that his brutal military training has been for one purpose—to destroy God’s greatest mistake, mankind itself—Cale has been hunted by the very man who made him into the Angel of Death: Pope Redeemer Bosco.

But Thomas Cale’s soul is dying. As his body is racked with convulsions, he knows that the final judgment will not wait. As the day of reckoning draws close, Cale’s sense of vengeance leads him back to the heart of darkness—the Sanctuary—and to confront the person he hates most in the world….

Book Description
HIS NAME IS DANTE. Dark. Talented. Beautiful. Star of the rock band Inferno. Rumored owner of the hot New Orleans nightspot Club Hell. Born of the Blood, then broken by an evil beyond imagination. HIS PAST IS A MYSTERY. F.B.I. Special Agent Heather Wallace has been tracking a sadistic serial murderer known as the Cross Country Killer, and the trail has led her to New Orleans, Club Hell, and Dante. But the dangerously attractive musician not only resists her investigation, he claims to be "nightkind": in other words, a vampire. Digging into his past for answers reveals little. A juvenile record a mile long. No social security number. No known birth date. In and out of foster homes for most of his life before being taken in by a man named Lucien DeNoir, who appears to guard mysteries of his own. HIS FUTURE IS CHAOS. What Heather does know about Dante is that something links him to the killer -- and she's pretty sure that link makes him the CCK's next target. Heather must unravel the truth about this sensual, complicated, vulnerable young man -- who, she begins to believe, may indeed be a vampire -- in order to finally bring a killer to justice. But Dante's past holds a shocking, dangerous secret, and once it is revealed not even Heather will be able to protect him from his destiny....

He once ruled as an angel of death in heaven, but he fell in a fiery descent that burned away his precious wings. Now he’s determined to regain his grace and the way to do that?

Jade Pierce is being stalked by a very dangerous ex—a panther shifter who has made her life a living hell. Wherever she goes, he leaves a trail of blood and death as he hunts her. But a new protector has emerged for Jade. A Fallen who is more powerful than any being she’s ever met. He swears that he can protect her. That he can handle any challenge thrown his way. But what happens when desire blooms between them? Az has no experience with lust. But when he’s with Jade, a savage hunger grows within him. Suddenly, he wants to see why humans fight so much for their physical pleasure. He wants…Jade. He agrees to be her protector, and she vows to help him in the mortal realm. Thrown together, they must stay intimately close. But the closer Az is to his little human, the more his control begins to crack. Dark and dangerous needs and hungers fill him.
