…an adult, Dark Romance, with suspense, and horses, and a knife (named Jocelyn)

THE BITTERSWEET SANCTUARY STORY (PART 1 OF 3)
Putting her black ops past in the rear view mirror, Terese hit the road like a modern day gypsy, pounding along the ribbon of asphalt, staying nowhere long enough to be found. The death, the blood, the dirty deeds, locked in the corner of her mind she never visited. But there was one life she didn’t save and that one never went into that dark corner. That one was constantly there, day and night, that small face looking up at her, asking, “Why?”

And then there was Alex. The man who wanted her, loved her, struggled to understand her, but above all, offered her something she’d never had…a normal life. How could she allow an innocent like Alex into the mortal peril of her world? He’d be eaten alive…

She’d only failed the one mission. But it had been the most important one. Can she forgive herself for the evil of others? Only second chances will tell…

THE BITTERSWEET SERIES
The Bittersweet Saga is a 3-part character arc about the last, remaining members of a govt. endorsed, pseudo-syndicate style family, not of blood, but of bond. At the hub is a misogynistic, torture loving tyrant (The Godfather’s Devil) killed in a suspicious car accident along with his daughter. Part 1 in the series is about Terese, the dead man’s widow and her guilt from not saving the girl. Part 2 in the series is about Malice, the dead man’s brother, and his revenge for the death of his brother. Not that he cared about his brother, not even a little, but because the hit taken out on his brother also killed the little girl, an innocent, that’s something he cannot forgive. Part 3 is a bit of a twisted mess for both characters…Their progression from victims of survivor’s guilt, to saviors of the innocent, is the story of every wounded warrior who pulls himself up by the bootstraps and rights the wrongs of the past.

THE BITTERSWEET CHARACTERS
Terese is not a typical heroine. Though, you might be quite unnerved if you met the real Terese, she’s actually only a well-trained martial arts expert with a minor in edged weapons, an aversion to heights and a penchant for solitude. A dark, conflicted, wounded warrior, a protector of innocence that, through her one misjudgment, failed to save a small child from a terrible situation. Who wouldn’t be screwed up by that? Unable to believe their own worthiness to have a normal life?

Malice/Malin and Terese are connected through their survival of that terrible household, and even though they don’t necessarily trust each other, they respect each other. Malice is an ex-con, brother to the Devil’s Godfather himself, chasing revenge and ready to take down anything in his way to get it.

Marcus is the Devil’s Godfather. A soulless man capable of all manner of evil including torturing—mentally and physically—his own daughter. He uses the girl’s institutionalized mother as collateral for the good behavior of his new wife and daughter.

Alex is a sunny, golden man who thinks the best of everyone. His brother Nick thinks he’s an idiot, but only fondly as brothers are want to do. He’s a good man. The man you would want your daughter to marry. Unfortunately, he has his work cut out trying to convince Terese of that.

Bestio is an Andalusian stallion owned by Terese. His name means Beast in Spanish and since he is from Spain, and is an utterly rude horse, it is appropriate. And, yet, he’s Terese’s rock, her stability, and the only thing holding her to ground. Until she meets Alex. And then all bets are off.
“Tam D’Lyte uses sardonic humor, psychological insight, suspense and action to great effect. The book operates on several levels of perception. As a reader you feel as if the writer is constantly giving you a nudge or a poke – hey don’t miss this… Then you go back and say to yourself – oh now I get it. *****Diana, Goodreads Reviewer
