He is known as Dark Angel. Dona is a consensual slave, wife to a Dominant who has turned deadly. Rescue is within reach, but time is running out.   Excerpt from Dark Angel: "We have to move fast, Gabe," Aphrodite’s voice was filled with urgency. "My contacts say Adonis has found out she plans to leave him. He’sat Sylvester’s right now and we both know how he’ll come out of that meeting, flying high as a kite and pumped for action." "I’m on my way, Aph. My plane should land within the hour." "You have the doctor on board, right? I think this one is going to be touch and go. Dammit! I thought we had more time. I don’t know how Adonis got wind of what was coming down." Gabriel, normally cool and controlled, was now pacing like a caged panther. To come this close...failure was not an option. They simply had to get to her in time.     Reviews for The Abyss: 4 Stars!...This is an anthology of strongly written, dark romantic short stories--romances without the usual hero and heroine...This varied group of 18 paranormal-themed stories is well worth your time... --Page, Romantic Times BOOKclub Magazine   4 Hearts!...The Abyss is an anthology of writers who take romance to another level.

THE ABYSS isn't for everyone, but it also isn't all gloom and doom. There are moments of humor, clever twists, and human insights. Dark doesn't have to mean depressing and, while there were definitely some downbeat endings, the overall sense of the book is positive rather than negative... --BooksForABuck   The Abyss Dark Romance Anthology on Amazon.
