Counselor of the Damned
by Angela Daniels
Tegonni Ellis, a counselor working for angelic beings, saves troubled souls for a living. Accustomed to dealing with clients who have a choice to save or damn their souls, she is at loss as to how to help her newest referral, Fernando Amaral. A devout Catholic, the vampire shuns the violent tendencies of his race, embracing kindness and decency. However, none of that changes the fact that his soul is imprisoned and belongs to Hell. Heaven agrees that he is damned. Unwilling to live such existence, he desires to die by taking a holy sacrament. Her vampire-phobic boss refuses to let her take on the case, but Tegonni is on a mission. She deplores the unfairness of Fernando’s situation and wants him to feel worthy of Heaven. But as they continue meeting together she’s inspired by the man rather than her cause, and Fernando seems to care more about being worthy of her than Heaven. Becoming emotionally involved with a vampire is a good way to ruin her career, and possibly her life. Boundaries are crossed and her loyalties challenged. With her boss close to discovering what she’s been up to, can Tegonni save the vampire…and herself?
