String of Tears — Dale Mayer

Jewel wakes up in the hospital, with no memory of what happened to her or no reason why she was

found on the highway -- dead. As reawakening goes, this one is brutal, but even more confusing is her

instinctive grasping for a missing necklace around her neck. Had she been robbed, beaten, and dumped?

If so, why? She has few friends and even fewer family members left to care, but, unlike his name,

Hurricane walks into her hospital room and becomes a safe harbor for a world gone nuts.


Hurricane had been asked by Stefan to help Jewel and to take possession of a necklace, if it was deemed

dangerous. Hurricane has seen a lot of dangerous and crazy things in his life, but Jewel's current state is

As the dangerous storm heightens around them, Hurricane's task -- keeping Jewel safe, as she tries to

regain her memories and her sanity -- slips even further away …
