An epic supernatural tale of forbidden love, conspiracy and sacrifice

In her debut novel, Mel Hopkins weaves an epic supernatural tale of forbidden love, conspiracy and sacrifice. In the beginning...Extremely tall, muscular and handsome "Sons of God" searched for "Daughters of Men" to make wives of all they chose. They wanted Semite women of royal blood to prevent the birth of the Son of Man. The "Sons of God" promised riches, supernatural powers and all the 'apples' a woman could eat. But that was then-- Or is it? Fast forward to today, where beautiful, but naive Nicole Jettison believes she's found her Mr. Right in the handsome Drew Michaels. Drew is perfect in almost every way, except for a family secret and two ex-lovers, both determined to win him back. Nicole just lost her father to murder and she's unwilling to have love snatched away again. But Nicole may be preparing for the wrong battle--for her enemy is not of this world.
