title: The Secrets of the Hollows
author: Morgan, Nicole
description: Lucifer once said about Andras, "His power is great, and should be feared." Xavier Currington has spent his entire life hiding the secret of his family. Being the last male to survive the devastation which nearly wiped their kind off of the face of the planet, he lurks in the shadows of the crime riddled Los Angeles streets. Finally free of her abusive stepfather and drug addict mother, Elizabeth Hawthorn is faced with new fears. While working two jobs in order to get herself out of the flea bag motel she's been forced to call home, she is offered a chance to make nearly triple her wages to waitress in one of the top gentlemen's clubs in the area. When Xavier first sets his eyes on Elizabeth he can't help but pull himself out of the shadows. Her beauty calls to him, but her innocence is what brings him closer. As she falls in deeper with danger, Xavier is faced with the choice of continuing to hide or saving her before it's too late.
