"terrific romantic fantasy"
A Knight of the White, Des is a bit surprised with his
current assignment. He searches for an ancient tome The
Journal of Solomon that contains a map that will lead to a
treasure chest filled with the names of those whose
ancient lineage were angels; normally Des is a warrior in
direct fight against the evil of the Darkland Beasts in
their millennia old civil war for species control.
Knowing he will need help to locate the sacred journal Des
turns to the Dallas World Museum curator Jessica
Montgomery for help in finding the treasure before the
enemy obtains it. Her mother ignored her and her family in a futile lifetime
quest to find the ancient journal. She wants to tell him
to forget it as it is not worth the time, but Jessica is
attracted to the enigmatic Des so decides to assist him on
his quest to learn why he is interested in this tome and
how he knew she was the right staff person to enlist. As
they fall in love, he knows he is just a beast with a soul
that could turn dark at any moment and thus unworthy of
the angelic daughter of a senator. The latest Knights of White tale (see THE BEAST WITHIN) is
a terrific romantic fantasy starring two courageous heroes
falling in love while on a dangerous quest with their
enemies in hot pursuit as both studies understand what The
Journal of Solomon means. The story line is fast-paced
and filled with non-stop action as the danger mounts so
does the attraction. Readers will appreciate Lisa Renee
Jones' latest thriller. Harriet Klausner
