To stop a serial killer a detective will need to explore his own vices... Nathanial Bayard wants nothing more than to find the nobleman creating snuff pornography. If he fails, his career in the recently formed nobility taskforce will be over and as the youngest son he'll be forced to obey his father and join the church. But a life of celibacy doesn't appeal. Nathanial has never even kissed another man, fearing for his soul and his reputation. Jericho Fulbright has never lived a wholesome life. After behavior unbecoming he was discharged from the army and sent home in disgrace. His inventor and nouveau riche father refused to have anything to do with him, so Jericho turned to what he knew best: opium, gambling and sex. As the owner of the Jericho Rose, a club for gentlemen who like men, he enjoys a certain notoriety. Some would say he has a golden tongue, but the truth is a succubus lives within him feeding on souls. Once he needed her help, now she is a burden that keeps him from getting close to anyone. After the unfortunate death of a young noble man in Jericho's bed, Nathanial is sent to investigate. He is scandalized and intrigued by Jericho, but soon realizes that Jericho could be exactly who he needs to help break the snuff case. Together they are drawn into a web of lies that will result in Jericho facing prison unless Nathanial can unmask the real creator of the snuff, a man with rank and privileges that reaches almost to the King.

Sheets of ice are spreading across the human world, ushering in an ice age as the magic drained from Demonside turns that world into a desert. Angus and reluctant warlock Terrance have defected from Vinland to the Mayan Empire--a land of dark and potent magic. But the Mayans aren't offering sanctuary for free. Nor is the world willing to stand back as Vinland attacks, and the backlash will affect all magic users. Mage Saka has no tribe. He is now just another refugee fleeing the dying Demonside. He knows the conflict brewing now will be worse than the first demon war. Countries are banding together--not just against Vinland, but against all magic. Where will the powerful Mayan Empire stand? Angus might have the power to fight Vinland and the Warlock College, but the cost will be terrible. Saka is torn between helping Angus and stopping him. And Terrance would do anything for Angus, but he's terrified of the man Angus is becoming, even as Saka is warming to the idea of a relationship between the three of them. No matter what choice they make, victory will be bittersweet, and when the ash settles and the snow melts, nothing will be the same.

The blood sacrifices have brought rain to Demonside, but across the void, the Warlock College of Vinland is still storing and gathering magic, heedless of the warnings of the international magical community. The underground is full of warlocks who disagree with the college, but do they care about wizards and demons or only about snatching power?With a foot in each world, Angus is no longer sure whom he can trust. The demons don't trust humans, and even though he is learning more magic, he will never be one of them. He is human and only tolerated. Some demons would be happy to slit his throat. It's only because his demon is powerful in his own right that Angus is alive.Saka only has a year to prove that Angus's people can change and that the magic taken will be rebalanced, but the demons want action. His affection for Angus is clouding his judgment and weakening his position in the tribe. Time is running out, and he must make a choice.

Angus Donohue doesn't want to be a warlock. He believes draining demons for magic is evil, but it's a dangerous opinion to have--his father is a powerful and well-connected warlock, and Angus is expected to follow the family tradition. His only way out is to fail the demon summoning class. Failure means expulsion from the Warlock College. Despite Angus's best efforts to fumble the summoning, it works. Although not the way anyone expects. Angus's demon, Saka, is a powerful mage with his own need for a warlock. Saka wants to use Angus in a ritual to rebalance the magic that is being stripped from Demonside by warlocks. If Angus survives his demon's desires and the perils of Demonside, he'll have to face the Warlock College and their demands. Angus must choose: obey the College and forget about Demonside or trust Saka and try to fix the damage before it's too late. Whatever he does, he is in the middle of a war he isn't qualified to fight.

This book is the 4th of a 5-book series. I pray that these stories encourage you as you walk the dusty paths of good and evil in the world. There is good - everywhere There is evil - everywhere I pray that we discern the best paths to take and God give us mercy to get back on the right destiny path when we miss it God has been merciful to me to help me get back on the right path. Little did I know that it is the only way to have true peace and joy. I hope you all experience the high of perfect peace that passes all understanding - the peace that settles deeply inside of you in the midst of every storm. There is a place in God where hope remains and keeps you going - even when you don't understand or see it all. The Bible tells us we see in part...take the supernatural with the natural and expect miracles Miracles do happen, everyday - look for them; they are in the tiniest of details. God is with you and talking to you and through you - all the time

Paul states in the New Testament that we should rejoice in the trials for we are strengthened by them. I admit, rejoicing, for me, comes afterward, not during, I am a work in progress, Lord. The good news is that God is aware of that very thing His tender moments and unlimited compassion amaze me; He is much kinder to me than I am to myself. Thank you, Lord. I want to share a trial with you, filled with miracles and insights that I have learned. When I read of Abraham's big moment of the potential sacrifice of his son, Isaac, I stand in awe. I could not have done that. When I read Job, I am amazed at his longsuffering. I am encouraged to know that Abraham did not have to go through that "biggie" again. I am encouraged that Job had peace, with a double portion for his trouble all the days of his life. I take comfort in believing that my "biggie" is over. I have finally passed the test and I won't be traveling over this particular mountain again. Right, God? Our Lord directs us to publish His miracles and to tell His people of the wonderful things that He has done. I believe now is the acceptable time of the Lord to tell you the things that He has done. I look forward to reading some of your miracle breakthroughs also Be sure to let us, the hungry ones, know of all the wonderful things the Lord has done. Our God is no respecter of persons, so write it down, make it plain and we will rejoice with you Chapter 1 The BeginningChapter 2 The Take Away ProgramChapter 3 The MiddleChapter 4 The MiraclesChapter 5 Revelation and ScripturesLove Letter from GodThe Truth the Light and the Way

Moses wrote Exodus and it is the second book in the Bible. It is a part of the Pentateuch. The name in the Greek means "To go out." God had already planned for Moses to be raised in the house of Pharaoh. One of the benefits to that was his ability to learn to read and write. He fully understood the Egyptian customs and he fully loved his people, the Israelites. With that in mind alone, this book intrigues me. It is a story of leaving a place of sorrow and pain and being set free in some of the most amazing miraculous ways in the entire Bible. This book is referred to many times throughout the Bible. God wanted the remembrance of all He did for the Israelites to never be forgotten. To this day, there are ceremonies and feasts and Scriptural readings and remembrances of this very important time. It is a story of then and it is a story of now. Our prayer is that you will be encouraged as you leave your wilderness journey or place of pain and walk into a full Promised Land for you and your household. God is not dead and He changes not. He is the same yesterday, today and forever. What He did for them, He certainly will do for you. Our Sunday school class decided to study this book and we sought God for revelation as to how this can apply to us today in 2015. We have found some nuggets of gold that we want to share with you. We will walk through Exodus 8 chapters at a time until we complete the 40 chapters.I write love letters from God in a series called Don't Worry, God Has You Covered, so this will be sprinkled with some of the love letters God gave me as we studied this book.

I was 47 and wondered why my husband died, the money fled too, and life changed all around me in an instant. I stumbled out of the hospital that day for I had been in the room with him for a month, day and night until his last breath he took. When I stepped outside, the sun hurt my eyes, for I had not seen it for weeks at a time. Now what...The prophet saw it 13 years later, she described the house and the things that were in it. She saw me in a vision praying and praying on the floor of the little house with the books as I sought to find out why Jesus had shut up the heavens. She saw it, the prophet saw it indeed, there was a glass ceiling hanging over me. As the prophets prayed, she saw the metal come up from the floor and shatter the glass ceiling, yet there was something more. There was a piece, a jagged piece still stuck in the corner where the demons remained. The prophets prayed again and the shift was felt, it was a matter of time now, the last piece will fall.This is my story, a 13 year win, step by step - until the Chief Cornerstone came and took out the last piece. This book will give you the insights I learned along the way. It is a true story, it does have a happy ending, for victory comes.
