Resigned to going the rest of his life with an unfeeling, frozen heart, Billy is in for quite the pleasant surprise when he meets Carolyn, the Whitcombs’ four-year-old daughter, who encourages him to thaw out his heart and live again; however, a series of strange incidents soon convinces Billy that Carolyn is quite the “unnatural” being, and when a rogue military organization learns of her special abilities and attempts to use her for their own purposes, Billy is ultimately forced to put his renewed life on the line to save the little girl without whom he never would have regained it...</p> <p align="left">With a rich cast of characters and taut, compelling plotlines, </p><strong><font face="Garamond-Bold">Painless </font></strong><font face="Garamond-Light">is a veritable page turner. Skillfully crafted by author Derek Ciccone, </font><strong><font face="Garamond-Bold">Painless </font></strong><font face="Garamond-Light">chronicles the personal transformation of a man wounded by life who ultimately learns to trust, hope, and love again – only to be faced with having everything he fought so hard to regain be taken away from him. The damning prospect of repeating the cycle of painful loss is the last thing Billy wants to experience, and Ciccone draws the reader into the gripping internal struggle with which he contends to prevent lightning from striking twice in the same place. </font><p align="left">With superb character development and riveting, escalating action, </p><strong><font face="Garamond-Bold">Painless </font></strong><font face="Garamond-Light">is an all-engrossing read offering invaluable life lessons about the virtues of never giving up – no matter how difficult the roads we travel. An enjoyable literary treat.</font><font face="TimesNewRoman"></font>
