Trame:
1. Io voglio (Le strade del desiderio)
Caldwell, NY: Jim Heron fa il carpentiere, ha un passato avvolto nel mistero, si
diverte con gli amici nella discoteca Iron Mask e di solito non pensa
all'inferno o al paradiso. Ma un giorno, dopo un'avventura con una donna
bellissima e pericolosa, ha un incidente mortale sul lavoro, e si ritrova in uno
strano prato dove quattro uomini giocano a croquet. Sono angeli, e arruolano Jim
per la lotta millenaria in corso tra angeli e demoni, in cui la posta in palio è
la salvezza della terra. Jim potrà tornare in vita e avrà il compito di salvare
sette anime da ciascuno dei sette vizi capitali. La prima è quella del
ricchissimo Vin Di Pietro, e il suo peccato è l'avarizia. Mentre cerca di
redimerlo, Jim si rende conto che il nostro mondo è pieno di angeli caduti e
demoni che possono assumere le forme più ingannevoli, come il corpo meraviglioso
di una donna.
2. Arde la notte
Sette anime da salvare, sette peccati capitali che solo lui può condurre alla redenzione o alla condanna. La prima partita dell’eterna battaglia tra bene e male l’ha vinta Jim Heron, angelo caduto con un passato pieno di cicatrici ed eroe suo malgrado. Ma non c’è tregua per Jim perché Devina, il demone che può assumere qualsiasi sembianza e che lo sta sfi dando in una gara senza esclusione di colpi, è pronta a riprendere la lotta. E la seconda pedina del gioco è un osso veramente duro; Isaac Rothe, un ex soldato che ha militato con Jim nelle Operazioni Speciali, pericolosissima squadra top secret con una sola regola: non se ne esce se non da morti. Ma Isaac ha infranto quella regola, trasformandosi in un disertore. E ora, mentre si guadagna da vivere come pugile in un giro di combattimenti clandestini, qualcuno lo sta cercando per ucciderlo. A proteggere Isaac insieme a Jim, questa volta, c’è l’affascinante e misteriosa dottoressa Grier Childe, l’avvocato di Isaac, tormentata da un passato impossibile da dimenticare. Ma fra Grier e Isaac, due anime ribelli così diverse ma in fondo così simili, esplode da subito un’attrazione imprevedibile e incontrollata. Perché forse l’amore è l’arma letale e fa la differenza.

5. Possession
When Cait Douglass resolves to get over her broken heart, throw off her inhibitions, and start really living, she’s unprepared for the two sensual men who cross her path. Torn between them, she doesn’t know which to choose--or what kind of dire consequences could follow. Jim Heron, fallen angel and reluctant savior, is ahead in the war, but he puts everything at risk when he seeks to make a deal with the devil--literally. As yet another soul is unwittingly caught in the battle between him and the demon Devina, his fixation on an innocent trapped in Hell threatens to sidetrack him from his sacred duty... Can good still prevail if true love makes a savior weak? And will a woman’s future be the key, or the curse, for all of humanity? Only time, and hearts, will tell.
