A SECRET MUSE

The blood-tingling first novel in Mandy Jackson-Beverly',s The Creatives Series! UCLA art professor Coco Rhodes knows little about her family&rsquo,s association with the ancient clandestine organization The Allegiance and wants to keep it that way. She dislikes secrets&mdash,they&rsquo,re a painful reminder of her childhood experiences that were erased as a result of her parents&rsquo, tragic deaths when she was four years old. After a brutal attempt on her life and the arrival of a birthday letter from her dead mother, Coco demands explanations from her brother, Christopher, a high-powered D.C. lawyer and member of the Allegiance. Christopher guides Coco to her birthplace, Italy, insisting she&rsquo,ll find her answers there. Enter the enigmatic Gabriel, a powerful warlock with a vampire father, and the ethereal Prudence, keeper of the Allegiance. When a close friend is murdered, Coco&rsquo,s life takes a dark turn. With only a faded portrait torn from a lost sketchbook and one of her mother&rsquo,s unfinished paintings, Coco unravels clues from her past, in the hope of saving those she loves.  ,_,
