==Characters==

'''Ayers Family'''

* '''Sabrina Marie Ayers:''' a spunky teenager that has great passion for life, but it is her stubborn, vain, and moody personality that keeps her from truly being happy. She feels anger or resentment when people don't believe her, or agree with her beliefs. She has a quick temper and a sharp tongue when she feels trapped or scared. Sabrina feels things differently. She sees things differently. It is something she can't quite explain or understand, like a rising darkness whenever she is in or near the Tate Mansion . She is motivated by revenge and love, (and the constant need for both) but has to learn that forgiveness is more powerful than hate. She has to learn to forgive others, but most of all, she must learn to forgive herself...
* '''Jack Ayers (Sabrina's father):''' Jack is a kind-hearted man who tends to be swept up in Sabrina’s drama, creating more tension in his already troubled marriage. As a good Christian man, he does not believe in the supernatural, his optimistic personality cannot not grasp the darker side of existence. Yet what lurks beneath that smiling façade? Does Jack like the others, have a dark past? Will he eventually gain the courage to tell his daughter the truth?
* '''Trisha Devour Ayers (Sabrina's mother):''' an incredibly beautiful yet cryptic woman…and Sabrina often wonders—is she an ally or enemy? Trisha can be sarcastic and cruel, but not to those who she believes to be on her side. She has only one agenda—respect, money, power. She’ll use anything or anyone to get them…even her own flesh and blood.
* '''Velma Devour:''' as Sabrina's aunt and Trisha's sister, Velma has a sweet, trusting nature. Yet inside she feels condemned to keep the family secrets under lock and key. But what can she say when Sabrina starts asking questions about the Devour family’s past?

'''Tate Family'''
* '''Richard Alan Tate:''' owner of the great Tate Mansion. The strong attraction Sabrina and Richard feel only fuels their lustful passion for one another…even though Sabrina knew about the many women who this superbly handsome, incredibly gifted surgeon numbered among his conquests. She knew about his affluent family…his queer obsession with his mother…his world of dazzling wealth and sophistication…his passionate dedication to his career. But she also knew—or thought she knew—Richard, her Richard, the Richard she adored and trusted.Yet for this womanizer, he finds Sabrina's willful determination a challenge. And he loves the chase...but what will happen when he finally catches her?
* '''Madeline Tate:''' Dim-witted, Madeline Tate was indeed beautiful, but under that childlike pretense, there is much more than meets the eye. Overly protective of her family—especially her brother, she can be wary of strangers. But is she really as slow as she’d have the others believe? Or is there a disturbing, jealous side to this mysterious creature?
* '''Catherine Tate:''' Beautiful and innocent, she married a man she barely knew. She received the mansion as a wedding present…but what a deadly gift it turns out to be. For soon, a strong compulsion to build and build on the house consumes her and a sinister presentiment of evil tightens around her heart, until it takes her life. Catherine lives on only in memory or does she?

'''Other Characters'''
* '''Anne Griffins:''' Sabrina's best friend, she's also a troubled soul. Orphaned and destitute after her family was killed in an accident, she is ridiculed by her classmates. As her friendship with Sabrina grows, she learns that they share a yearning for fulfillment and romance. She tries to understand what Sabrina is going through, even though she has her own secrets to hide. And in the end, is she willing to jeopardize their friendship over a lover?
* '''Barbie Fenton and Olivia Franklin:''' Sabrina's arch-enemies, and part of the popular clique at her school.

==Book Description==
'''THE FACE of HEAVEN'''
The second book in the ''Angelic Warrior'' series is filled with mystery, intrigue, romance, ghosts and secrets galore.

This is the story of the Devour Family given to poverty and greed, to revenge and passion, to murder and lust—a family that through the generations is haunted by a powerful curse and the seductive Tate Mansion…

''I am a demon hunter. I am an angelic warrior. I am a paranormal investigator.''

Vibrant beauty, Angelic Warrior, Sabrina Ayers has found the kind of love she has longed
for all her life in the arms of Dylan McGuire; her dream lover yet she is still
haunted by her past. Then her father suddenly dies and her entire world begins to
crumble. Even with a fresh start, Sabrina is once more ensnared in a frightening
labyrinth of dark secrets and hidden passions that threaten to shatter the only real
happiness she has ever known.

Then the arrogant, playboy Richard Tate comes back into her life and tries
desperately to regain her confidence and her love …but can she trust him? Yet in
his hypnotic presence, Sabrina’s fiery temperament melts the aristocrat’s icy
exterior and rekindles a passion that threatens to spiral out of control, leaving her
with a very difficult choice to make…

After a terrible new shock, the mystery of her family’s past deepens, for she
is again thrust into the Tate Mansion’s nightmare world…There, in a house of
deceit, evil, and murder, Sabrina clings to her tormenting love of two very different
men.

But only one of them will be able to save her!

Rumors abound after he was accused of murder. Is he really a heartless killer or is there more to this man? Does Sabrina have valid reasons to be suspicious of his real motives?
* '''Dylan McGuire:''' Handsome and mysterious, he moves to the small town and quickly befriends Sabrina, winning over her heart. And Sabrina finds the kind of love she has always longed for in his arms, and finally finds a refuge from her troubled past.
