A Parliament for Owls — Mary Reeves Bell

Money, sex, political power . . . and redemption.

Ronald Lorten, CEO of Christian media giant WOWL, Inc., believes that conservatives can and must win the ‘culture wars' and save the nation from a corrupt administration and its liberal agenda. Ready to use his celebrity and evangelical base to achieve political power, Lorten is stopped by a beautiful blackmailer who has a secret, that if exposed, could destroy his political ambitions and lead investigators to also find financial malfeasance. Desperate to hide the blackmail payments and corrupt business practices of his company, Lorten creates a humanitarian fundraising campaign for victims of human trafficking in Eastern Europe as a way to cover-up the blackmail payments and continue his bid for power. Even as the walls of his ‘empire' come tumbling down, one genuine act of mercy sows the seeds of redemption for Lorten, if not salvation for his company.
