Synopsis:
Anissa Toma fled war-torn Syria after narrowly escaping
the massacre of her Christian family by Islamists. Fortunate enough to rebuild
her shattered life in New York City, the young refugee gained admission to an
elite college, where she excelled. Her beauty, brains, and purity soon captured
the interest of two powerful men: Michael, an activist working to establish
Antioch, the first Mideast Christian state, and Julien, her professor and one
of the city’s wealthiest bachelors.
As Anissa's saga continues, the refugee-turned-rising-star
must navigate between Michael and Julien, while trying to help her surviving
relatives and other vulnerable Christians in Syria. As she gets closer to both
men in a complex and evolving love triangle, can she unlock Julien's traumatic childhood
to open up his heart? Or will Julien find greater solace from his nightmares
and other demons in the sessions with his intriguing therapist? What will
Michael do for Antioch and for Anissa, and what will Julien's role be? How far
will each person go to help Anissa's remaining family and other persecuted
Christians at risk in Syria? Find out in this stunning sequel to "The
Syrian Virgin”.
Excerpt:
“It’s OK, Anissa. We don’t need to rehash that
incident now. I’m just reminding us both that – even though you are the most
angelic woman I’ve ever met – you’re still human,” he added with a gentle
smile, as he lightly put his hand on mine. “So I’m still taking a risk by
sharing this with you.”
“I understand that,” I conceded.
“Good. So before I take that risk, I need your most
solemn oath that – whatever happens between us – you will never repeat what I’m
about to uncover for the first time ever... ” His stare seemed to penetrate my
eyes, probing deep into my interior. With so much solemnity surrounding his
revelation, whatever it was, I almost didn’t want him to tell me anymore.
“Because once I tell you this, there’s no going back.”
I took a hard swallow and braced myself to receive
something that I could never share with anyone. “I swear to you, Julien,
on the memory of my blessed parents, and on the future of my people, that I
will never tell a soul.”
He nodded slightly, as if to acknowledge my vow, and took
his hand back. He let out a deep breath, and his hands began to fidget a
little, as if he was trying to decide where and how to begin. I put my glass
down on the coffee table, wanting to concentrate as much as possible on
whatever he was about to say. After a few moments of silence, he finally
spoke.

About
The Author:
Zack Love graduated from Harvard College, where he
studied mostly literature, psychology, philosophy, and film. After college, he
moved to New York City and took a corporate consulting job that had absolutely
nothing to do with his studies. The attacks of September 11, 2001 inspired him
to write a novelette titled “The Doorman”
and heightened his interest in the Middle East. A decade later, that interest
extended to the Syrian Civil War, which provided the backdrop for his latest
work. In late 2013, Zack began releasing his unpublished works of fiction and
became a full-time author. He has published comedy, psychological and
philosophical fiction, and romance. Zack enjoys confining himself to one genre
about as much as he likes trying to sum up his existence in one paragraph.
