The Impact of a boxer's fist, the suspicion of a false identity
& the grace of timeless love Julio Navarro is secretly regarded
as the quintessential killer for hire when he is given the sanction
on an equally dangerous female assassin. Killing was never personal
for Julio, until now when he can't resist falling in love with the
intended victim, Ziv Yadin, Mossad's top assassin. Julio rejects
the Mossad mandate, and both Julio and Ziv are sanctioned with a
death warrant, which would be a chilling undertaking for any killer
since Julio and Ziv are the two most dangerous assassins on the
planet. Their love affair is soon tested when Julio's former lover,
Claudia Bazan, sends Julio a message "if you ever loved me, prove
it now." Claudia faces immanent death in Culiacan at the hands of
her boyfriend, Pedro Valdez, Mexico's most fearsome drug lord.
Julio travels to Culiacan, the most dangerous city in Mexico, to
save a woman he no longer cares for. Soon Ziv follows to rescue the
man she can no longer live without. The idea for the novel
originated from the 1995 film, Desperado, written, produced and
directed by Robert Rodriguez with film stars Antonio Banderas and
Salma Hayek. Setting: New York City, Madrid, La Coruna, U.S. -
Mexico Border, Culiacan, and Mazatlan.
This exceptionally written fictional romance weaves the themes of
predestination, palmistry, reincarnation, dream travel, and
destiny. Narrated from the perspective of the main character,
Rafael Valverde, this unique story grips the reader's attention as
he lives through relationships with his manipulative father, his
deceased mother, love connections, and friendships. His
authoritative father always demanded that Rafael become a
financier, and assume power of his elaborate estate. But Rafael
protests by following the genetically-rooted artistic talents he
has inherited from his maternal side, and he chooses to study art
at Penn. To further complicate their strained relationship, the
father and son become estranged after Rafael's nearly fatal car
crash. When the pendulum of time again swings, it becomes evident
to both of them that they are each a unique blend of genetics,
worldly influences, and desires and, at times and under certain
circumstances, they are one and the same. Rafael's sketches and
paintings often reflect the beautiful women of his life, including
his beloved mother, Spain's most popular actress named Gisele, and
an Egyptian beauty who touched his heart by rescuing him from the
rain. At an art show in Madrid, all of his paintings are sold with
the exception of the portrait of Gisele, which is declared
priceless. As a result, his art reputation becomes renowned and
celebrated via the inclusion of Gisele on publications worldwide.
The lives of Rafael's love interests are many. Alison, whose early
death is predicted by a palmist, and the attraction of Pilar to
Rafael years ago as teenagers, add depth and passion to this story
of romantic relationships, and how they envelop people as destiny
takes its course. Predictions and forecasts of the characters'
destinies abound with compelling accuracy. The characters truly
care for one another in very diverse ways. The human spirit
triumphs in finding romance and pleasure, despite the often rigid
and dangerous powers of destiny. The nebulous images depicted in
dreams and the predictions of the chiromancy by a Spiritualist
provide an intriguing paranormal element that threads its way
throughout Signs of Destiny. The story blends trails of life and
love, death and destiny in a dramatic, serious and sometimes,
sorrowful way, but always touched by the humor that life often
presents. The love experienced by the unforgettable characters in
this dramatic novel authored by C. Michael Bennis is one of
extremes-restrained and uncontrolled, revengeful and with
abandonment, hurtful and comforting, lustful, and innocent. Follow
the life, relationships, and emotions of the characters of the
Signs of Destiny, especially Rafael, which parallel our lives and
the lives of those who we can only imagine.
Unrestrained passions and exotic locales are key elements of Rules
of Engagement, a savvy debut by C. Michael Bennis. With a pitch
perfect prose and unforgettably naughty characters, new romance
author Bennis offers a winning combination that tells of the
underbelly of the advertising world and the softest sides of true
love. In the summer of 1964, two college graduates meet in a London
club. While their attraction is palpable, Nicole is engaged to the
premier's son and is Parisian aristocracy; dutiful to a fault she
can't help but fall headfirst for Alec, a Colorado native who is a
little rough around the edges. As they decide the course of their
affair, Nicole comes up with the Rules of Engagement. Over the next
nine days they agree not to fall in love and not to reveal their
identities. Reunited by chance over two decades later, the magic is
still there. One is married, one is not-both will begin to
understand that love and passion endures despite time,
circumstance, and reason.
