Mark was the handsome, arrogant, spoiled little rich kid who grew up getting everything he wanted. Until Jeanie arrived, Jeanie, the new girl, a beautiful redhead whose emerald-green eyes held secrets, showed intelligence, compassion, and maybe just a hint of danger sparkled with magic that entranced all who could see it.

Mark could, but he was used to having everything he wanted, so the effects of her hypnotic beauty would not last long. Or so he thought. But the more aggressively he pursued her, the cooler her response. Mark could not easily impress her with his wealth, as he had done with so many others, because Jeanie’s family also had money.

Mark was not deterred, he had already decided that Jeanie was to be his, a worthy addition to his privileged life, and nothing would stand in his way, not even Jeanie herself. But Mark found that Jeanie could not only match him but soon even had him on his guard. None of his tricks were working. Then caught in the heat of passion,

Jeanie let her guard down and unintentionally revealed herself in a way that made her vulnerable. Bad mistake for a woman who thought she was immune to the love of a man she knew would exploit her every weakness.

Jeanie could forgive for that; It wasn’t Mark's fault, that was not the man she loved. He was raised to be the epitome of “corporationalism," the conqueror, and by any means necessary. In the modern world, that was done with money. But there was more to life than money.

Jeanie would save him.

But who would save her? Mark didn’t know that other parties were equally interested in Jeanie, for their own reasons, just as selfish but not as benign. Jeanie’s parents were employed by a government division, but nobody knew specifically what branch. These people were ancient and evil. Jeanie's parents were only employed there because of their bloodlines.

It was a very dangerous government sect that dealt with the paranormal, alien hybrids, cloning, and advanced technology. The powers were very aware of Jeanie’s supernatural abilities because that was what she had been bred for. In a numerical combination, Jeanie’s first, last and middle name were each composed of six digits. This 6-6-6, combination identified a specific family lineage.

Jeanie.

Genealogy.

Blood-lines.

Jeanie was chosen because of her heritage. And membership was exclusive. This was the reason why Jeanie was so valuable to the Government. Even her own parents were expendable if Jeanie could be acquired instead.

But Jeanie was not a girl who would allow her life to be defined by something as arbitrary as a bloodline, nor would she permit herself to be used as an instrument of evil by a secret society, no matter what they promised, no matter what they threatened.

If Jeanie, would not come willingly, they would take her by force and initiate her into their circle with a hellish ritual that would take control of her mind, body, and soul. Could Mark’s substantial wealth, power, and penchant for brilliant alternatives in hopeless situations aid in saving Jeanie? Or would Jeanie’s powers in the supernatural be strong enough to protect her and the ones she loved from all those who threatened to destroy her?
