ANGEL 1: When Angels Cry: 18-year-old Angel’s sudden arrival at the Phoenix throws Dane’s heart into a frenzy. But after losing out so recently with Caleb, he is in no hurry to feel the heartache again and resists his own rapidly growing feelings for the young man, unaware that what Angel needs most right now is someone he can trust and feel safe with. Caught up in an abusive situation at home from which there seems no escape, Angel’s prime objective is to protect his little brother from the same hellish existence he himself has been thrust into at the hands of their sick minded stepbrothers.

ANGEL 2: When Angels Fall: Cast away and forsaken by the one man he loves, Angel’s life spirals deeper into the hell that is his life. As the threats and dangers creep ever closer to consuming Maddy, Angel clings to the hope of escaping with his little brother. But when that hope is ripped from his hands and Maddy is forced to witness the brutal consequences of betraying their stepbrothers – he begs Angel to take him to heaven and out of this hell. Angel resists the boy’s request, until a horrific new reality thrusts him to the edge of the abyss that separates life from death.

ANGEL 3: Angels and Demons: Desperate to save Maddy from the growing dangers, Angel must defy Wade’s threats and risk everything to escape with his younger brother. But when hope betrays him yet again, and Maddy disappears into the night – Angel is left alone to face his abusers and struggle to determine truth from lie.
