Nine Months Will Tell

---a paranormal romance

From the novel… "Though the sunset was illuminating the horizon, the pathway through the tall woods behind the cottage was still dark. The tall aspens stood as if charcoal against the deep blue skies from the setting sun. The only color left was the orange pouring across the skyline to the west over the Pacific Ocean. Angel slung the Flaming Blue Sword over her shoulder and walked, not looking at the danger ahead, only at the rain-sodden path along the cliff, treacherous with slippery mud."

Continuation of the Storm Lord Trilogy in Chapter Two finds Angelica Thompson and Sheriff Kevin Connors expecting their first child. Her pregnancy comes as a surprise to her and Kevin because it is precisely nine months after their defeat of Ethan Knight in Chapter One of the Storm Lord Trilogy series.

The question now that arises for the two love-birds is whether the Storm Lord lost his life in their final battle in the first of the series or did he, somehow, survive the epic encounter.

 Angels appear in her dreams. Demons appear in her dreams. Death appears in her dreams!

It was in the last two weeks of her pregnancy she realizes her child's life is threatened by outside forces. Has the Storm Lord returned to her dreams…but, wait? Is he real? Who did she and Kevin kill in their first encounter if it wasn't the Storm Lord?

In the first book, Angel and Kevin begin their life together like a storybook fable. Kevin is the knight in shining armor who she meets, and who protects her and comes to her rescue when the Storm Lord threatens to take her life. She is beautiful with auburn hair that crowned her head to the middle of her back. What can we say about Kevin? He is the handsome and courageous divorced sheriff of Black Rock Cove. As in all fables, these two are made for each other. But, will they stay together when Kevin finds out the real truth about Angel?

Unfortunately, their lives, far from being made perfect, become complicated.

Angelica continues to be a hostage from the Evil One and his enchantments and sorcery. Kevin continues, along with the shapeshifting sea captain, the one able to wield the massive blue flaming sword, preparing for when they meet again.

Angel continues to discover more of the enchantments that hold her hostage. Why do all of the villagers in Black Rock Cove turn their backs on her when she comes to town? Why is it the FBI investigators continue to disappear overnight when in town to investigate the disappearance of so many children? Why are her nightmares getting stronger each day as she gets closer to having her first newborn? Why is her amulet beginning to glow again?

So many questions…so little time!

Angel is so, so ready to have her child. Nighttime temperatures collapse on the cliffs of Black Rock Cove…

"She stood up and peered out the window. It's not like when she lived in Denver. The window, for the most part, was her only connection to the outside world. Without it, she would feel like she was in a tomb. Already it was as quiet as a mausoleum.

A movement in the shadows had her frozen. Wait. It's no more than a rustle, but lately because of her dreams, in this failing light, her heart was on a hair-trigger.

More noise came from the front porch. Angel reached down and rubbed her pockets on her warmups, looking for her pepper spray, but both were flat!  "Jesus Christ!  Where did I leave my spray? Kevin is always getting on me for not carrying it with me!"

Freddie Krueger, move over. There's a new name in town! ETHAN KNIGHT.
