Gabriel tore his gaze from Jean, and tried to fathom a life without Lucille. Before, he
couldn’t stand the sight of her. Now, he looked forward to their time together. She pleasured
him in ways Jean would never, ever consider.
“What hold does she have over you that you are so unwilling to let her go?” Jean’s brown
eyes flashed fire. “What does she do that leaves you so drained you cannot focus? What is it
that has you thinking of her while you make love to me?”
“That is not—”
“Don’t you lie to me,” she roared, her fingers tightening on his shoulders as she shook him.
“A woman knows. I know! I already lost my father to that whore. I’ll be damned if I lose my
husband too.”
PRAISE FOR SLAVES OF HEAVEN
“Using a historical climate as a backdrop, Slaves of Heaven takes the reader on a journey of
love, conflict, jealousy and power—who has it, who wants it, and why people give it away.
This wonderfully written story explores the intricate and complex nuances of relationships
and the sacrifices of launching a movement that elevates women in a society from that of
subservient and insignificant to leadership and power. Slaves of Heaven spans across seve-
ral time periods telling the journey of women, pulling the reader in like an undercurrent
submerging you in a world of suspense, intrigue, and mind-blowing revelations.”—Priscilla
Jackson
“This book is different from anything I have ever read before, and I am an avid reader of all
genres. This story that explores the depth of race, gender, religion, and societal expectations;
as well as those who attempt to keep an underclass of people in poverty in order to maintain
control.” –Debra Mitchell, BW/w Opinions & Attitudes
