Excerpt:
Marie
furrowed her brow and softly interrupted, "André is the Walking Man?"
I
looked at Marie and asked, "You've heard of him?"
Marie
nodded. "Of course. He is a staple of the Downtown area. There are a few
groups I'm affiliated with that hand out food and clothing to those in need. He
never comes to these events so I leave them by the area where he sleeps."
She paused, thoughtfully. "I just can't believe that it is André."
Joe
cleared his throat and looked at his father. "What happened to
André?"
Alfred
sighed and after a moment said, "It really was the fault of that witch he
was married to. She and her family treated him horribly. She was a gold digger
and all she cared about was money and the prestige."
Marie
interrupted Alfred by saying, "I remember her. She was so mean to André
and all she cared about was looking
rich. Wealth is a gift—she just wanted it for a toy. She treated André so
badly... and his mother-in-law was the worst. She would put him down all the
time. In front of other people, no less."
Alfred
continued, "André was a good man and worked hard. He was working on a big
project for the city. He worked night and day on the project and told me it was
going to put Golden Lake on the map.
"He
absolutely adored his daughter, too. I remember that clearly. She was his everything."
Alfred paused, apparently lost in his thoughts. With a sigh he said,
"There was a scandal with the project, though, and André got fired. Soon
after, Dara left him, took Katherine with her and André fell apart. He started
drinking heavily and, without his daughter, his life fell apart."
Joe
looked at me and I fought to keep from throwing my hand over my mouth. There
was purple fire in his eyes and I felt his anger. I already knew the story of
André and I tried to smile at him.
I smelled burning flesh. Joe flashed
in full armor fighting demons with a golden sword.
I
gasped at the vision and brought my hand to my chest in shock feeling the key
necklace, before I could stop the physical reaction. The necklace weighed
heavily as did my heart. He would be fighting at my side soon.
Marie
asked, "Are you okay, dear?"
Joe
turned to look at his mother. He nodded and only said, "I never knew any
of this."
Alfred
continued, "I am sorry, son, but you asked for the truth. This is what I
know. André was sleeping at the office and drinking all the time. He was
supposed to give a presentation to a client and was drunk. He got into a
scuffle with his boss and rumor has it, André punched him."
I
feigned shock and said, "Oh my!"
Than is to blame. I don't know how I
know or what happened but I vow to the Lord that I will make Than pay,
thought Joe.
I
choked and almost spit out my drink. I
just heard Joe's thoughts! I had to set him straight and right away.
I
cleared my throat and said awkwardly, "Joe, I think I left something in
the car."
Joe
looked at me with eyebrows raised. "Excuse me, we'll be right back,"
I said with a smile.
I
walked outside and knew that Joe was right behind me. When I reached the car, I
whirled and said in a stern tone, "Are you trying to get yourself
killed?"
Joe
stopped mid-step and said, "What are you talking about, Mary?"
I
ran into his arms and whispered, "You cannot take on Than by yourself! I
heard your thoughts in there. Now, I don't know how you know that it was Than
who drove André to punching his boss but please promise me that you will not
get revenge."
I
paused to catch my breath and remembered what Gabriel told me. "Joe, in
order to defeat the darkness and not become dark ourselves, we need to have a
pure heart. We are filled with the Light and our motives must always be to
speak the Truth and spread the Light."
Joe
took several deep breaths while he held me. He stroked my hair and whispered,
"I'm sorry, my angel. I didn't mean to frighten you and you are right. It
was just a momentary thought."
I
lifted my head and locked eyes with Joe. Tears filled my eyes but I was
determined. I bit at my top lip and then whispered, "Promise me you won't
put yourself in harm's way." Hot tears spilled down my cheeks.
Joe
wiped at them and said in a deep, reassuring tone, "I promise, Mary. I
promise I won't be a hothead and I won't be rash." Then, he laid his
forehead on mine and whispered, "Please don't cry, darling. Please."
I
nodded and whispered, "I would die if I lost you. Than will use you to try
to get to me. You are my love, my everything." My voice cracked. "I
would die if I lost you," I repeated.
Joe
shook my shoulders a little and looked deep into my eyes. "Listen to me,
Mary, you will never lose me! Do you hear me? I am by your side now and forever."
Overcome
with emotion, Joe kissed me.

Author
Bio: N. N. Light has been creating stories ever since
she was little. Her grandfather remembers when she was two years old, she would
stand at the top of the stairs and tell him a story filled with emotion (and in
a language foreign to him) with her hands on her hips. Let's just say she was a
born storyteller.
She was born in Minnesota, lived in Southern
California only to move to chilly Ontario, Canada to marry her beloved husband
MR N. She is blissfully happy and loves all things chocolate, books, music,
movies, art, sports and baking. Her mantra is to spread the Light.
Most of the time you can find her on Twitter or
getting new ideas on how to spread the Light on Pinterest. She is a proud
member of ASMSG, Independent Author Network and Marketing for Romance Writers.
Part of the proceeds of Princess of the Light
will go directly to food banks in order to feed the hungry and help those in
need. With only 7,500 books sold, N. N. Light will be able to set up a monthly
endowment for the local food bank.
In addition to being an author, she's also a
book promoter/reviewer and social media marketer. She loves books, has ever
since she was young. Matching up books and readers is something that gives her
great pleasure.
She’d love to connect with you either via email
or via these various social media sites:
