Description:
The
Ryan Chronicles - Book One: Saving Grace
When
CJ Ryan's girlfriend decides life is less complicated without him, CJ
travels a destructive path into despair, walking the line between
what's right and what feels good. But what feels good is a dangerous
slope to travel, especially when Lucifer wages war for his soul.
One
wrong step and CJ could fall into the devil's trap, becoming no
better than the demons he battles.
The
Ryan Chronicles - Book Two: Raven Heart
CJ
Ryan still can't remember a thing about his past, but he is
determined to have a future with Valerie. Despite his lack of memory,
he finds himself ensnared in the cutthroat world of entertainment
whether he wants it or not. The push into the spotlight shines a
harsh glare on his family and brings with it a plague of horrors that
drag him to the edge.
With
the darkness of the past threatening, CJ turns to his brother looking
for answers, but when an enemy with a psychotic history re-enters
their lives, it will take more than just his memory to save them.
The
Ryan Chronicles - Book Three: Trinity's Wrath
CJ
Ryan's life seems to have fallen into place, and while the backdrop
of his Hawaiian honeymoon provides the perfect healing elixir, the
guilt of sentencing his father to an eternity of torture at Lucifer's
hands starts to intrude on his happily-ever-after.
When
he and Valerie return from Hawaii, a note from the king of hell
greets him, outlining in sickening detail his plans for CJ and those
he holds dearest.
With
everyone he loves on Lucifer's hit list, CJ must start living up to
the bargain he made in Heaven, but every one of Hell's gates he
closes is one less portal available for his father's escape.

Excerpt
from book 1:
She
smiled and I felt a need stir inside me, and it had nothing to do
with my heart, or soul, for that matter.
“You
really let a demon tie you up?” Dimples appeared in her cheeks and
mine bloomed with heat.
I
shifted, focusing back on the darkness beyond the glass, suddenly
uncomfortable and unable to look at her. I swear my face must be the
shade of a bright red kickball. “I wasn’t exactly myself,” I
said without looking at her.
She
chuckled.
The
kind of chuckle that was meant as a turn on and I slid my gaze to
her. “You like your men tied up?” I raised an eyebrow. It was her
turn to blush and she grinned, shrugging and looking back outside.
Before I could explore more of this conversation, she took a step
back, dragging me with her.
There
must have been a dozen pale creatures slinking across the back yard.
I gave her hand that gripped my upper arm a gentle pat and she turned
her frightened gaze to me.
“They
won’t get through.” My voice held confidence, but deep inside, I
was trembling just as much as she was. Damian, Steve, and I had wiped
out more than this at the cove, but that was three of us and of
course Paradise Cove probably had a lot to do with it.
We
both focused on the approaching horde and without much thought, I
slung my arm around Valerie’s shoulder and pulled her close. It was
time to concentrate on the deadly quality of the wall I put up. I
wasn’t sure of how much sizzle to put into it.
“I
want to see them burn,” Valerie said, answering my silent
contemplation and a chill ran up my spine.
She
had every right to hate these creatures as much as demons and I
concentrated, glaring at the approaching danger. Saliva ran from
their lips and their teeth gleamed in the moonlight. My heart pounded
in my chest, sending throbbing vibrations through my skin. The harder
my heart beat, the hungrier the approaching vampires looked.
“Just
a few more feet,” I muttered, focusing on the entire perimeter of
the house because I wasn’t as much of an idiot as they thought.
This wasn’t the only line of assault. Still, when they advanced, I
took a cautious step backwards, pulling Valerie with me. The power
inside me grew and I couldn’t tell whether it was the adrenaline or
the power raking across my skin like a hundred finely manicured
nails. The sensation grew, moving from the land of pleasure into the
world of discomfort and I gritted my teeth.
They
all launched towards the glass slider and the moment they hit my
invisible barrier each vampire burst into a ball of flame. The roar
of fire drowned out their screams, but I heard them and the dark part
of my soul reveled in it.
Valerie
let out a high pitched laugh and I glanced back at her, smiling.
She
met my gaze with a measure of awe. “The only one I ever saw do
something that impressive was Michael.”
Being
compared to an archangel was humbling and I glanced outside at the
black dust spinning on the wind. “I’m not an angel.”
“Oh,
I gathered that,” she said and stepped away.
I
turned towards her. “What do you mean by that?”
“You’re
more recent activities?”
I
shoved my hands into my pockets and stared at the floor, shamed by
the fact she was privy to my more decadent actions. Instead of
apologizing, I lifted my gaze to hers, studying the memories of her
past, especially the times after the more traumatic events. Naomi was
right about one thing. The girl never freaked out. Ever.
And
therein lay the challenge.
I
let a grin slowly surface and narrowed my eyes, stepping closer. “So,
you want to try out some of those ‘activities’ with me?”
She
laughed. The kind of laugh that bruised a man’s ego and when she
went into the gale realm, I crossed my arms, my good humor turning
sourer by the second.
