The year is 1850. The Revolutionary War has long since come to an
end and the industrial revolution is beginning to build steam,
overturning the old ways of home and hearth as it gains momentum.
In a desperate hour, in the back alleys of Boston, a group of
twelve castoff children come together to care for each other.
Plagued by the unanswered questions surrounding their past and
grief for loved ones lost, the children attempt to come to terms
with the bitter truths that have defined their life thus far.
Feeling forsaken, faced with prejudice, hostile gangs and in the
hardest winter on record, the children find themselves on the
ragged edge. Until a series of mysterious events begin taking
place, making them feel that they are not as alone and helpless as
they might have thought. Separated from his friends during a week
of successive blizzards, Joseph-the fourteen-year-old boy at the
head of this family of outcasts-becomes snowbound in a condemned
building while searching for one missing among their number. It is
during his days beset in the basement of this building that
Joseph-starved and feverish-experiences a vision of another life
lived upon a rolling green land, spurring him to do something he
has not done in a long time: believe that life can be more than
mere survival. These surreal events culminating in the arrival of a
good-hearted stranger who, while wounded himself by injustice and
loss, brings renewed hope to these children who have dreamed of
being loved.

When an angel and a demon fall for the same mortal man there is
only one solution...share him. Halloween night at the Inferno club
always draws a crowd. When Tristan spots a stunningly gorgeous man
dressed as a demon across the dance floor he sets out to draw his
attention, little realizing he has already gained the notice of
another. The demon disappears into the throng of revelers, but with
the heavenly handsome Machidiel in his arms, Tristan doesn't mind.
Even though Mac warns him they can never have more than a one-night
stand, Tristan longs to see the man who gave him the best sexual
experience of his life again. One year later, Tristan opens his
door to find Alastor, the demon from the Inferno, who claims they
have a date tonight. Alastor may be the one man who can make
Tristan forget Mac. Little does he realize Mac isn't as far from
his reach as he believes. When Mac reappears he has a proposition
for Tristan and Alastor, one that means breaking rules and
potentially getting him stripped of his wings. A menage formed
between an angel, a demon, and a human means the sex is hotter than
hell itself, but only time will tell if the relationship they have
forged together is made in Heaven or Hell."
With one of his lovers imprisoned in the Underworld, Mac has no
choice except to go where most angels fear to tread. With Tristan
imprisoned in the Underworld, the menage is broken. Angels are
forbidden to enter the demonic domain and while Mac has been
breaking rules in recent months, he doesn't have the power to enter
the Underworld. Alastor is still unsure about his position in the
relationship following recent revelations, but he cannot walk away
when he is the only real link between his two lovers. Splitting his
time between Mac and Tristan, he hopes they can soon find a way to
reunite the two men in his life. As time moves on, Alastor realizes
he is struggling to satisfy Tristan's thirst for sex. His lover
needs more than he can give him and craves Mac in his bed. Mac
still believes he can complete his mission to save his two lovers,
but with one of them out of his reach, it is going to be far from
easy. During their time together they have made plenty of enemies,
including one who would seek to separate them forever, even if it
means biding his time until Alastor and Tristan are at their most
vulnerable, when even the love of an angel can't save them."
