Book Description
THE FACE of HEAVEN The second book in the Devour Family 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, haunted Tate Mansion. This is the second book in the saga. Tangled Souls is the final chapter in the series.
Vibrant beauty, 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!
Main Character
- Sabrina Marie Devour Ayers a Ghost Huntress is not your typical heroine: she’s a woman whose intelligence and sharp tongue tend to get her into trouble. She’s turbulent, headstrong, and passionate and her angelic beauty is distinctly at odds with her tenacious personality. She has a great passion for life, but it's her vain and moody personality that keeps her from truly being happy. Is she worthy to combat the forces of darkness or is she just another Devour destined to befall the family curse?
