Ms. Bella does an outstanding job capturing the essence of darkness.” ~ InD'Tale Magazine How far would you go for the man you love? Would you go even farther to escape the man you thought you could love? Mason. A crazed GI who never truly left the war in Iraq behind. His obsession with one woman sparks the predatory nature engrained in his soul. Where his loyalty lies will shock you. Shiloh. Introverted, insecure and divorced. Terrified to break it off with new boyfriend Mason, she finds herself “it” in a pitch-black nightmare of hide-and-seek. Her involvement with the delusional soldier finds her captured by a dangerous street gang. Unexpectedly, she falls for their leader…then the leader's brother. Trapped between Ricochet, Mason and a group of corrupt cops where murder, lies and secrets spiral into a bloody war, she emerges from her cocoon to fight. Shadows from her past come back to haunt her in a vicious way and she discovers that it's not so hard to kill as she once thought. Never underestimate a woman's fury. Rebar. Streetwise, fearless and a man with many exes -- ex-wife, ex-marine and an ex-convict for killing his mother's husband. As leader of New York City's most revered street gang, he's not about to let a dirty cop walk after brutally murdering their youngest gang member. When he agrees to take Mason's girlfriend prisoner, he never expected their hostage would turn his world upside down. The last thing he needs is emotional entanglement with another woman. When a man with a score to settle and a soldier determined to get his girl back go head-to-head, war erupts on city streets and lives are lost on both sides. Does anyone really win in war? Their emotional story will take you captive from page one to the very end. Forever in Darkness is raw and powerfully sensual, written in contemporary style. The element of darkness resonates the harsh reality of real-life situations. This story is chock full of love and hate, revenge and justice, rejection and acceptance, and most of all...passion.
