Wisconsin - Present Day

Gray God Axiom wants to be part of the Divine Council, becoming the first Gray to do so. The Divine Council resides in the Light Realm, and its mission is to protect the human realm from the evil Umbrae. The Council is currently comprised of only Light Gods who are leery of the Gray Gods that possess both Light and Dark elements, and are the Balancers that have helped contain the Umbrae. The time has come for the Earth Balancer to be conceived, and a majority of the Council believes that a Balancer god must be the one to bring to life this new Balancer. With a promise not to fail, Axiom confidently heads to the Earth realm in order to impregnate Laurell Pittman with the child that will save humanity.

After losing her grandmother and mother within weeks of each other, Laurell is preparing to leave the family home when she is given a book that was overlooked in the legal confusion following the deaths of her last remaining family. The book holds an important key to her heritage that will help guide her in the days to come when her life is turned on end after she is kidnapped by Axiom. Confused and angry, Laurell is sure that she has been drugged when she feels a deep sexual attraction, but no fear, for her kidnapper. However, it is the yearning, a strong magic created to ensure the conception that must occur, not drugging, that overtakes her. Can Laurell accept her role as mother to the Earth Balancer and her natural gifts as witch? While she tries to convince herself that the yearning is responsible for the emotions she feels, Laurell can’t explain the hope that begins to grow in her heart.

Providing a place of safety for Laurell and Axiom are the Hidden Circle Coven members: Fiona, High Priestess; Wayne, Reese, Dawna, Lynn; Hillary, and Thumper. Each has special gifts that help Laurell on her path.

BETWEEN LIGHT AND DARK adds an original twist to the classic battle of good versus evil. The pull of the darkness in the earthly Axiom is intense, and the human emotions he encounters for the first time are added burdens on the God. New perspectives on her destiny and life nearly overwhelm Laurell as she strives to fulfill her new role. The romance is steamy and sweet, but the paranormal elements hold the reader’s attention and move the plot forward in this well written tale. BETWEEN LIGHT AND DARK is a winning and creative story that fans of the magical will not want to miss.
