And Love Was Born… Death Followed

The story takes place in Guatemala and New Orleans at the close of the 1960’s. Nathalie Ordonez, a beautiful, wealthy, blond woman in her late twenties, sees her golden cocoon shattered when her parents die in a fiery car crash and bandits take over the family’s highly profitable coffee plantation in the Guatemalan highlands. She turns to Matt Logan’s New Orleans law firm for help. She meets Alfredo Milla in the firm’s reception area. He is handsome, wealthy and in his early thirties. More than that, he is a polished man possessing impeccable manners and good taste. There is electricity between them, and they begin their courtship. Over time, Nathalie finds Alfredo to be loving, honest, respectful and giving; all the qualities she has been seeking in a husband. They become engaged, begin planning a gala wedding and look forward to a long journey of true love. Their dreams are shattered by the intrusion of Sal Cardinale into their lives. He is a man who finds his greatest pleasure in murder and believes the law of nature is kill or be killed. Cardinale is determined to parlay his Louisiana brothel into a human sacrifice cult based at what was the Ordonez hospital and coffee plantation in Guatemala. It becomes a contest of survival between the two lovers and the depraved killer. Will the master of destruction prevail, or will love conquer all?
