by Ninie Hammon
In the deepest, darkest midnight of her soul, Gabriella writes a book, a horror story about demons... and then one of them crawls up out of the pages and confronts her face to face. A deranged, fanatical fan who believes he is The Beast of Babylon from her novel turns up at a book signing and then comes after her to claim her as his bride. And to sacrifice her son, Ty, as an offering to their unholy union. Gabriella, Ty and Ty's grandfather, Theo—a crusty old stand-up comic—run for their lives, back to the only place in Gabriella's life where she ever felt safe. But once there, she discovers that facing the demons from her past may be harder and more dangerous than facing the one who stalks her. As Ty and Theo battle their own, personal monsters, Gabriella begins to fall for a man who carries a guilt she can't even begin to imagine.The predator who stalks Gabriella and her family manages to corner his prey as a full moon rides high in the night sky and lightning...
