Bittersweet Chocolate
Emily Wade-Reid

Revenge is awesome.

In the mid-nineteen sixties, the gang structure of Philadelphia is similar to the feudal systems of old.  Marissa Wells, a young black catholic, is caught up in that structure. Her allegiance to the gang forges enemies and perpetuates deep-rooted hatreds that culminate in her brutal rape, and she’s left to die. However, Marissa is a survivor and she retaliates.  Regrettably, her vengeance goes awry, leaving her enemy alive but wounded, setting into motion an unrelenting resolve for revenge.  Years later, thinking her violent adolescence is history, Marissa soon realizes her past is being revisited when one of three men begins to stalk her.  Is it the man she tried to kill, the man she threatened to have killed, or the man she shamelessly humiliated?  Not content to destroy only Marissa, her nemesis goes after her family. Marissa realizes she has lost her edge, and to save her family, she reverts to her old ways.  She sets herself up as bait, knowing it will mean the forfeiture of her life, but what choice does she have.  After all, it’s now clear to her, revenge never ends until all the players are dead.

Clandestine Impasse
Emily Wade-Reid

 

 

Christopher Corbett, a thirty-eight-year-old senior partner in his father's law firm, seldom practices law on an attorney-client basis. His interaction comes as a cold-blooded methodical killer trained by, and working for the government.  Abandoned as a child, at thirty-six, Villia Candia Leon is cynical and pragmatic.  Mentally kicking and screaming, unforeseen circumstances draw these two together in a relationship desperate for commitment that neither will concede.  Neither believes they possess the ability to love; both believe the emotion doesn't exist.  Yet, despite their skepticism, they spend passionate days and nights together until Christopher returns to his assignment, unaware Vi is pregnant.  However, when Vi becomes an unwitting pawn in Christopher's operation, it leads to the discovery of her parents -- knowledge that puts hers and her child's lives in jeopardy.  To save their lives, Vi and Christopher come to realize the true meaning of love.
