If love triangles are real, can they also last forever? Only if the triangle is equilateral and the love is true.

Meredith Sinclair must grow up fast. Her silly, childlike fantasies are destroyed when she learns that the people she trusts have only used her for her money. Her blind allegiance to her friends and the Order of the Rose gave her a false sense of security. Although she is old enough to know better, she always found it easier to let someone else make her decisions. She only grasps her dangerous predicament when she realizes she is in love with Mark. She must set things right. She must help him get away from Valentino and everyone else who is out to kill him.

Sir Ramsay finds himself in a no-win situation when he remembers bits and pieces about who he is. By the time significant portions of his memory start to return, he is in no condition to make life and death decisions. His original mission is a disaster. His quarry is dead, he is a captive, and his Order wants him back, alive, or dead.

In his oblivious state, brought on by temporary memory loss, he turned his life’s work into a mangled wreck. He’s in love with Meredith Sinclair, though only God knows why. And she is in love with him. His situation is a unique mix of confusion, indecision, and suspicion. He cannot remember everything he needs to know. He cannot decide whether to stay or go. And he does not know who to trust. Everyone he meets wants to kill him. Everyone except Meredith. His attraction to her is irrational but irresistible. He cannot stay with her; she cannot go with him. His vocation and occupation, his history, and his vows require his full attention and there is no room for romantic entanglements.

Time is running out. Death follows him at every turn. His love for Meredith is growing, but hope is dying. If these troubles are not enough, his life-long frenemy, Lucio Dambretti does not wish to lose his Brother to a woman. In the past, he always saved Ramsay from romantic liaisons by seducing the lady in question. Before Lucio realizes what is happening, he finds himself fatally attracted to the same woman. By the time he learns who Mark is risking his life for, it is too late.

Ultimately, both retrieval missions fail. The Grand Master of the Order of the Red Cross of Gold is forced to remediate the situation in person. When he agrees to meet with Sir Ramsay’s original kidnappers, he is missing five members of the immortal Council of Twelve. He is also missing vital information. He is prepared for the worst. The use of a little divine magick might be in order to set everything in order. To show them the Power of God. He has no idea that his indomitable Knights have defeated themselves. There is no group of professional kidnappers. No gang of hardened criminals holding them. No formidable ancient Order. Just one deluded woman and her rather inept security guard.

Even though the entire incident is a wake-up call for the Order of the Red Cross of Gold, they still have a long way to go before Armageddon. The things set in motion in the middle of Texas one hot week in 1999 will reach far into the future. All the way to the Apocalypse.
