A tale of remembrance and learning to keep what is good about the past while embracing the future and learning to accept new challenges. Also a lesson in that healing is not a destination, but a never-ending journey.
Are you ready for a story about a dashing, charming, handsome CIA operative who foils the diabolical plans for world domination by a nefarious villain? Sorry... wrong story! You will have to settle for this one! But it does involve someone associated with the CIA. The REAL CIA that is.
Trying to recover from a double tragedy in his own life, retired Marine John opens his home to down-on-their-luck girls. Some are homeless, some are runaways and some have had to flee for their lives. John tries to offer a safe place for the young ladies to recover and try to rebuild their lives. But is John's latest "rescue" going to be too much for him? And just who is the one who will really be rescued?
Crushed by the death of his wife, former Marine military policeman and current Alabama Sheriff "Big Jake" Lewis never thought he would be able to love anyone again, but was love waiting a lot closer than he expected? And will he ever be able to put aside the grief he still feels and start really living - and loving - again?
Matt wakes up, believing he is dead, and slowly learns not only is he still alive, but people are calling him a hero. And what does a most unusual bandage (put on his head to stop bleeding), or more specifically, where that bandage came from, have to do with it?
A little different take than most of my stories. Anyone who has ever served in the military has probably met someone like Master Gunnery Sergeant Samuel Obediah Lewis, Sr., USMC Retired, and his thoughts on names for his children. And even if you never served you may still know someone who obsesses over naming their children after entertainers or athletes. Hope you enjoy it.
Marine veteran Ray had been shipwrecked, all alone, on a tropical island for six months until another typhoon also shipwrecked a beautiful young woman. Every woman in Ray's life had, at one point or another, betrayed him. Will Sleeping Beauty (as he nicknamed the unconscious woman) continue that curse once she regains consciousness? Will he once again be screwed (and not the good kind of screwed)? Will he ever reach the mountaintop, or be stuck forever in the valley.
"Freeze, Asshole. I've got a.357 aimed at your head." And with those words 17 year old Deena realized the supposedly empty house she had broken into wasn't empty at all. And worse, it belonged to a cop! Lying on the floor, hands cuffed behind her, Deena made an offer. Unfortunately, he insisted she up the offer to "anything" including anal. "Your choice" he said. Jail or anything. A choice that wasn't a choice at all. An offer she couldn't refuse.
