SERIES OUTLINE
Part
I: CarpeDiem1 and CarpeDiem Blue1 spans
9 months and introduces Elizabeth Wakefield and Prescott Hamilton to the
readers, and to each other, as well as, the strange occurrences that seem to be
random but after awhile can’t be and are not. The portraits of these two
strong individuals: Liz, the deceptively ageless Investment Consultant VP for
BarnesBlake and Prescott, the mesmerizing Chrm./Pres. & CEO of Global
Communications, and their development
into a couple despite their differences, defines the price they pay for
that commitment when it becomes known.
They will be pressured to separate by displeased family members;
compelled to choose between love and business by corporate management for
appearances of impropriety; drugged and raped by a disgruntled ex-fiancée; besieged
by suitors and seducers; reduced to be a pawn of revenge; and attacked by hired
criminals to be murdered as retribution. Yet Part I is the enheartening story
of true love: the recognition, courage, passion, and rewards of being the One,
even when not sanctioned by society.
Prescott comes out of the shadows, becomes more compassionate, abandons
his womanizing persona and achieves longtime desires as a result of knowing Liz
but has reason to fear that he will lose her; an unaccustomed experience with
any other woman. Meanwhile Liz has to
resume her own dark personality traits in order to protect herself from the
onslaught of men desiring to dominate her in addition to issues of separation
from her children and deaths of significant people that substantially change
her life.
Part
II: CarpeDiem2 and CarpeDiem Blue2 The story shifts to Florence, Italy and
follows the couple on their 10 day vacation in Italy, the day after Liz’s Gala
rescue. After 3 weeks separation, Liz is not completely in sync with
Sonny and must resolve the problem as well as prepare for the bombardment of
attention from Italian men. Despite the refuge of their Villa estate, a
surprise Wedding gift to Liz, they are besieged by issues of her past when it is
evident that her return has been
discovered, exposing the need for her confession of an unspoken deep dark
secret involving her rape and the product of it; the ex from her past wanting
to be her present and future; the response by Sonny to abort it which lands him
in prison and a concussion for Liz; and the temporary derailment of his secret
plans to marry Liz in their Villa chapel in the presence of their family and
close friends. They share their honeymoon with family, friends and the
reader to be a travel log tour of the art treasures of Florence and Rome. But
unknown leaks of their marriage is plastered in all news sources, and negative
reports in social media favor the jilted Allison over the usurper Liz. It
initiates a frenzy of attacks against Liz, escalating upon their return to NY
with actual shootings and the serial targeted killing of women with similar
appearances and in places frequented by Liz, to send the message that she is
next. Regardless of the costs and his
Bride’s pleads; Prescott goes into protective custody with his Wife to do the
same for and with her. The unforeseen benefits of his selfless act of the
forced segregation, is their continued close proximity and intensified behavior
of the lovers. The joyous news of their
deliverance from the murderous intentions of the vengeful assailants as result
of a police sweep is short lived, as a sleeper minion betrays them, kidnaps
Liz, and the near fatal car crash jeopardizes their future.
Part
III: CarpeDiem3 and CarpeDiem Blue3 is the resolution and explanation of the
story’s past and of new beginnings. Still recovering from her injuries
and meningitis infection, out of love for her Husband, Liz considers family
creation for Sonny until a misunderstanding almost drives them apart. Sonny
meets and falls in love with Liz’s granddaughter Anna, and comes on board with
the plan to create a family.
Subsequently, the mystery of who and why the occurrences were conceived
and executed are revealed, and the repercussions. As a result of the sudden loss of weight due
to and because of her extensive
injuries, an as yet unknown internal physical consequence comes to be, but externally Liz looks even younger, is more attractive than
before and is constantly questioned why she married such an old man!
Sonny is not amused. As a survival celebration Sonny surprises Liz
with a romantic trip which culminates with a destination birthday/wedding
reception in a Scottish castle surrounded by over 200 friends, family and
business associates demonstrating for all time his deep devoted love and their
passion, as testified by their Surge to the amazement of their
guests. The refinement of their marriage denotes the physical
and emotional deaths of those who wished to negatively impact the couple; but
when compassionately handled by Liz, turns many into committed friends and
others to receding memories. Two months later,
as a birthday gift for all that
he generously has done, Sonny’s family status is changed by the Kids to Pops
while Liz’s is to Papa, a difficult achievement but one which will save them
all when a horrific tragedy shatters them.
