Charissa, a 200-year-old vampire, lives and works in present-day, Old Town Chicago, only blocks away from the parish of Father Christopher, a dutiful Catholic priest whose only real concern is the spiritual welfare of his community. That is, until the two meet – and are never the same again.
A ‘chance’ meeting brings the Man of God and the Mistress of the Night into a strangely symbiotic relationship – once she feeds upon him – something she initially tried hard to resist. Soon, they are sensing one another’s patterns in odd daydream interludes, building towards a newfound connection neither of them can deny.
Charissa’s cannibalistic vampire origins come into the picture when her maker, a cannibal shaman of the Caribbean, throws out his own tangled web in an attempt to re-connect with her after over a century of silence between them.
Christopher and Charissa find themselves, plus her friend Ariyah and her beau Joe, in the middle of a cross-continental nightmare leading them into the still cannibal-infested islands of the West Indies…
Scarlett is the story of Charlotte and Liam, a long-distance couple spanning the North American continent from Sedona, Arizona to St. Johns Newfoundland, Canada. When the two meet for the first time, they waste little time getting physical. Upon their consummation, Charlotte feels as though she's conceived. Shortly after sharing the notion with Liam, she has a chance ghost encounter, upon which she comes to conclude that her 'baby seed' has been taken by the ghost; later learning to have implanted it into her living self, in the past, before she died. This child, to become the girl called Scarlett.
Liam and Charlotte's lives navigating this insane circumstance become a lot more than they'd bargained for as a new couple. Charlotte's special abilities to affect time (slightly projecting into the past/future), lead her to seek out the past where the daughter she never birthed, went.
Initially, the methodology to try and reach Scarlett's time is Dream-walking. Though adequate for a while, as the girl ages, she outgrows the 'imaginary friends' of childhood dreamland. Later, a mirror (with a 'thin spot') from a St. Johns watering hole is discovered; whereby past travel is possible. With the aid of another ghost from the bar, plus the help of a server named Chloe, the foursome begin to navigate 'the way-back machine' with a certain effectiveness.
Will Charlotte & Liam ever successfully rescue and retrieve Scarlett to the present?
