  When a priest in the Vatican's Office of Exorcisms in New York noticed the upheaval that was occurring in American cities after perpetrators of particularly heinous and insidious crimes had been acquitted after trial, something struck him about the dates of those crimes. His research revealed that the crimes all preceded satanic exorcisms he had either witnessed or performed and struck at the very fabric of society. 
  After additional research revealed eerily similar instances had occurred around the world, being an exorcist with a thorough knowledge of the Devil and his works, the priest concluded that Satan was directly responsible for the crimes and the chaos. 
  In America, the Devil had been winning because crimes like those studied by the priest, resulting in criminal trials, were being lost by the prosecution. The reasons for the losses varied from Jurisdiction to jurisdiction. But a closer examination revealed that the Devil had used his wiles to effect both the investigations and trials thus insuring the outcome he desired would be achieved. 
  Once Brooklyn became ground zero for the Evil One, a local prosecutor with the skill, personality, strength and tenacity to take on Satan, to withstand his counter attacks and beat him, was recruited. Michael Gioca, Chief of the Rackets Division in the Brooklyn District Attorney's Office, was handpicked by a secret government agency to be that warrior. 
  With crimes that had actually taken place in Brooklyn and investigated and prosecuted by the author, as the backdrop, Fallen Angel, A True Crime Fantasy, is the story of Gioca's war with Satan.

  Their secret romance ended badly— with bitter words neither can take back. 
  She’s disappeared to start over where scandal can’t touch her. 
  He’s found her anyway, and this time he’s not walking away—no matter what she's hiding. 
   
  KICK 
  When Isabel Van Orr disappears after our family’s wine auction instead of flying to Italy, I volunteer to track her down. What I don’t tell anyone is that Isabel and I had a secret relationship that ended badly, and I’m the reason she’s running. When I find her working at a small vineyard under a fake name, she begs me to leave. But the fear in her eyes tells me she’s hiding something bigger than embarrassment. So I make her a deal: let me stay and prove I’m not the man she thinks I am, and after she tells me the truth, I’ll walk away if that’s what she wants. The problem? The longer I stay, the more I realize leaving her is the last thing I’ll ever do. 
   
  ISABEL 
  I’ve spent years being “that pathetic woman” who publicly chased Snapper Avila, so when I fell into a secret relationship with his younger brother, Kick, I thought I’d finally found someone who saw the real me. Then I nearly sabotaged his family’s wine project out of jealousy, proved him right about my worst qualities, and we ended things badly. Weeks later, everything changed. Rather than face the humiliation and judgment waiting for me at home, I disappeared to a small town where no one knows my name. But Kick tracks me down, sees through my lies, and refuses to leave. Now I’m faced with an impossible choice: keep running and protect myself from the scandal that will destroy what’s left of my reputation, or trust the man I love with the secret that could bind us together forever—or tear us apart when his family learns the truth.
