Pope Leo's daughter, Kitty, is a witch who is always engaging herself in some form of adventure -- telling stories entwined within stories. All, of course, told from behind the scenes of the Vatican.
"I looked at him with glassy eyes, regretting deeply all the time I had invested in coming to know him.  Day after day – whenever I had the urge, that is – I’d ventured forth dreamily in the outskirts of the Vatican, privately, away from my father.  Sometimes he’d even set aside special time for me to visit him, even if he was busy with “pack business.”
"But still.  Nothing.  Nothing more than the cradle of my black, dismal silence.  Screams from a primal spirit.  My Emanuel.
I knew him all too well.  He was just so out of this world.  The passion that I felt..."
Will Kitty's relationship with her father cause her to detach from her beloved Emanuel? Or will she fight for what she believes?

Vatican Nights

	“Now then, where were we?  Didn’t you say something to me about your poetry?”  Nodding adamantly, I pulled out my portfolio, which I kept hidden deep in my purse.  “I’ve brought a few samples, if you care to take a peek.”


	Smiling delightedly, Isabelle leaned forward.  “Oh, I’d absolutely love that!  May I?”


	Tenderly, daintily, Isabelle reached a gloved hand over to grab the portfolio from me.  “I’ll take a look at it later, but I do thank you for your utmost generosity.  You really didn’t have to do that.”  And with a faint smile, Isabelle pulled out her handbag from where it lay beside her on the bench.  Attempting for several moments to fit the portfolio inside her purse, she finally gave up trying.  “Sorry, but I suppose it just won’t fit inside my little pocketbook!  Hope you won’t mind if I carry it around with me till I can find a safe place for it later on tonight?”
