ARCHANGEL

BLURB
Archangel. A musical angel hiding in the
dusty, smoke-filled London clubs, she performs with reckless abandon. Few know the woman behind the mask she
adorns.
Mary Tudor, twin sister to Amadeus Tudor - a well-known rock star- has
all but given up her up and coming photography business to become the personal
photographer, and fiancé to Daniel Kennedy. Daniel, a world renowned violinist,
is one of the few who knows Mary's secret. Together they scheme to devise a way
for her to fulfill a secret dream.
Postponing their wedding until after Daniel's much anticipated
European tour, Mary juggles many jobs. One however alludes her every month.
Motherhood.
Making unannounced, surprise appearances during Daniel's tour, the
mysterious Archangel rules the concert stage. Suddenly everyone wants to know
who this masked woman is. Fans clamor for more, the press want to know every
detail about her, and a few others are sure Daniel Kennedy is quite aware at
who this phenomenon is. And if that
weren't enough drama, a sinister enigma from her brother's past threatens both
her future and her life.
Will Archangel's identity be revealed as planned, or will the chaos of
Amadeus' past catch up to them?

EXCERPT
Proudly I stood at the back of the hall, and watched as the
show continued. By the look on his face I could tell he was in absolute heaven.
Daniel was a perfectionist, and tonight it was evident by the audience's
reactions.
But tonight...tonight there was going to be a huge surprise
for the crowd that had come to see this phenomenon known as Daniel Kennedy.
Tonight Archangel's going to make a special appearance...though her entrance
would be nothing like Danny and I planned.
In retrospect I probably should have made my entrance
according to plan. Tucked up on stage and appearing through a cloud of smoke.
To be honest? That made it look pre-arranged and not spur of the moment like my
walking through the audience did. This was Archangel's debut, and it was going
to be in typical Archangel fashion. Unscripted.
At just the exact moment, I began heading towards the stage.
Down the aisle between the people. It was an old trick the late Italian
composer, Niccolo Paganini, one of Danny's classical idols had used in his day.
Daniel himself used it, and now I was. It worked. It got the audience's
attention.
By now Danny and his stage people had picked up on my change
of plans and had a spot directed on me as I strutted towards him. He was now
watching me as he played. I detected a smirk on his face. He knew me well
enough to know when it came to Archangel that I was in charge.
As I reached the front of the stage, I turned towards one of
the two sets of stairs located at either side. Staying focused on the stairs, I
pranced past him. I knew not to look at him, fearing I'd trip and ruin
everything. The man affected me in just that way. Made me crazy, but then I was
crazy in love with him.
We'd picked a lively pop tune which had been one of the
favorites on Danny's previous tour and CD. Keeping everything upbeat, a
Paganini favorite was the second choice for the evening.
Walking across the stage toward him, I sucked in a breath as
I seductively smiled at him. As we ended the first piece, Danny took my free
hand to introduce me to the audience. He squeezed my hand and leaned toward me.
"Having fun? You're doing awesome, sweet. And by the
way, you look ravishing."
