A Love Supreme-A Brothers of the Dark Veil Novel - Book 4

On a rainy starless night, not unlike tonight, two hearts became one. Their passion became a Love Supreme....

Joie rounded the third floor landing in shoes far better suited for a cocktail party than for trudging down dusty hospital stairs. She made the turn on to the next landing only to barrel into the broad muscular chest of the man she’d been ducking for the past three weeks. She nearly had a h Read more of this blog post »
