    "I was eaten, plain and simple. It felt like being burned alive, like every cell in my body was exploding. Then everything stopped—my breathing, my heart, my pain."Eighteen-year-old, college Freshman Alexa Wyndaham is changing in ways she can’t imagine. A kiss from a stranger on nearly ends her life. He’s after her energy as are all his fellow creatures in New York City, and they are willing to do anything to get it. Alexa’s only hope of survival is Cristien La Roche, an incubus, a medieval knight, and a man tormented by his cursed past. Alexa is everything he desires, but she is becoming a succubus, everything he hates. Even if Cristien can somehow resurrect the hero he used to be and save Alexa from those who seek her power, he still won’t be able to protect her from his own deadly past. In the end, one will come face to face with the white light and the other their darkest nightmare. Together, Alexa and Cristien will have to answer the question, “Which is stronger Love or Death?”The Innocent/i> is a story about the love, the love of friends and family and the love of one for another. It is a spiritual journey that is heartbreaking as it is humorous, thought-provoking as it is uplifting. It masterfully retells the myth of Cupid and Psyche as a coming-of-age tale that teaches the wisdom of forgiveness, the nature of suffering, the illusion of evil, the power of true love and following your own heart. It will take star-crossed lovers Alexa and Cristien from suffering to heroism, from hatred to forgiveness, from Death to Life. It will teach them to see beyond the skin to the beauty within us all.
