When Death Frees the Devil
Description
Ethan is finally free. He's left the Cabal behind and embraced a civilian life with Jack, the man he loves. The only problem is that the Cabal isn't willing to let him go. A call in the middle of the night and a threat to Jack's family, and Ethan is back in the game. The only way out is to take on the organization that spent years warping his life.
Jack's boyfriend has a way of vanishing on him, but this time Ethan's disappearance is more frightening than ever. A trail of mysterious clues, a hit against his family, and the handprint of the Cabal on everything means the greatest test of love and determination Jack has ever endured.
Torn apart by forces greater than they are, Jack and Ethan must fight harrowing battles to get back to each other. The Cabal is the greatest foe either of them has had to face. Ethan is willing to throw away everything to bring an end to the Cabal's evil. And Jack is willing to do the same to make sure Ethan comes out the other side alive.

Person
L.J. Hayward has been telling stories for most of her life. Granted, a good deal of them have been of the tall variety, but who's counting? Parents and teachers notwithstanding, of course. These days, the vast majority of her story telling has been in an honest attempt to create fun and exciting ways of entertaining others (and making money).
As such, she is still a mad (always provoked!) scientist in a dungeon laboratory (it has no windows. Seriously, the zombie apocalypse could be going on outside and she'd have nary a clue) who, on the rare occasions she emerges into the light, does so under extreme protest and with the potential hazard of bursting into flames under the southeast Queensland sun.
