Raven Black is no martyr, but she has a secret she deems worth protecting. Placed into the care of Zadkiel, the Archangel of Mercy, Raven Black tries with all her might and main to hide her deadly secret. It’s difficult to know who to trust or who to confide in, but Raven knows she’s unwilling to be exploited to get the Archangels’ greatest enemy.

When he discovers her secret, Zadkiel must choose between all of mankind and the woman he has come to love. Can he save her in time, or will his failure bring forth the end of days? He would awaken a desire that would burn through hell.

EXCERPT

As Raven faded away, I turn to look at Chax. Although Chax was our leader, his short temper always seemed to doom a situation. His green eyes pierced mine as he regained his footing and pulled out his sword. “There are more ways to deal with something than just force, Chax.” I smirked at him. “Agreed, but not in Raven’s case.” Chax brought his sword in front of him, determined to get the weapon he needed to bring down Lucifer. “She is still a fallen, and in my care. I will not let her be harmed in any way.” I stepped a little to the left, bringing my body to a perfect counter position. “So, you choose her side rather than our cause?” Chax accused me. “Please, I am not one of your little fallen apprentices. I chose the right path, the one without hurting an innocent girl.” I steadied the weight of my body on the balls of my feet, and secured my position. “I migh-“ Chax was cut off by something crashing through my office wall. “Where is she? Where is that hellhound?” an even more intoxicated Camael yelled while trying to stay upright. “You have got to be kidding me!” At the sound of Chax’s pained words, my eyes flew in his direction, and I lifted my eyebrows at his statement. He blushed a little. “Too much time with my mate,” he replied. “I see,” I replied and caught Camael before his face ended up in my chair. “What the hell are you doing, Camael?!” Chax replaced his sword and grabbed Camael on the other side. “That hellhound needs a lesson in respect.” Camael’s words slurred with his heavy tongue. “He needs to be healed, Chax. Is there no one who can help?” I was worried for my old friend; he was not doing well at all. “No, not even the visits in heaven seem to be helping, although I might have an idea we can test.” Chax grabbed Camael on the shoulder and forced him to sit down. His head hung backwards as his dark eyes looked up and tried to focus on us. “If it might work, we need to try it. He is unable to fulfill his duties in this state.” A bitter taste was left in my mouth. I didn’t like what I was seeing at all. “What about Raven?” Chax asked. “I will find her, and I will let her take me to him. The moment I have him in sight, I will notify all of you.” My eyes drifted to Chax. “And you think that you will be able to persuade her to help us trap him?” Chax frowned. “Yes, but she will not know that she is doing it. I will steer her the way we need her to go.” Chax nodded and grabbed hold of Camael. “Do that then, but if you fail, it will be my way, Zadkiel.” He shifted out, taking Camael with him.

Review: I loved this book! It left me wanting more and having to wait stinks. Good versus evil is always a great story line and when you throw in some love it goes thru the roof. The author does a great job of sucking you in and making you feel like your right in the story with the characters.
