As Nathan's body responds to the performance enhancers, he collapses during a basketball game. A gentle wind caresses his face while visions of another time dance beneath his eyelids. The prevailing wind will either carry Haley to Nathan's arms or rip the lovers apart. This is the second volume to A Time of Fortune's Favor.

Tig 's heart is encased in stone. He is a self declared freak, but he envisions a fresh start and a new life with his lady, Venus. For her, he will be Alexander. Venus waits for love. No one chooses to love all of her, but will Alexander prove to be her Prince Charming? Very mature, sex, violence, and tragedy. Weak of heart or the easily offended read at your own risk.

Always and Forever resonates through time. Nathan and Haley's kiss outside her home is not their first one. Each lifetime, different, but the love remains the same. They have lived many times, but always seem to find solace in one another's arms no matter how difficult their circumstances. A first kiss blazes in reflection of the past. *Previously Embers on the Wind (same content)
