BLURB:
Jade Ashley has a
past she’d like to forget and a destiny she isn’t aware of. A stranger, Clyde,
saves her from an attack and demonstrates extraordinary abilities she believed
only she possessed. She soon realizes he’s her guardian angel sent to reunite
her with her long lost sisters, who like her are part of a new breed of
immortals, Elementals, prophesied to determine the outcome of the upcoming war.
Clyde, an angel,
battles the one thing he believes will lead to his fall from heaven—his new
found emotions, forbidden among his kind. Nonetheless, the Angel Lords promise
to promote him to warrior when he completes his last assignment—to find Jade.
When he does, emotions he never knew possible arise. For the first time in two
thousand years, he curses his existence, knowing she can never be his. Will he
sacrifice his wings for a woman he loves but can't keep?

EXCERPT:
“There’s
nothing to worry about.”
She was still
in his grasp, her body pressed against his. It took him too long to answer
because he could barely think. She’d kissed him. She’d initiated it. She wanted
him. He loved it, her initiation, her kiss, her.
Closing his
eyes, he forced himself to concentrate.
“Yes, there
is. It’s dangerous.”
“I meant
there’s nothing to worry about with Jake. He’s just my friend.”
What the hell
would it take to convince her?
Demons were
unpredictable and dangerous. She could get hurt in the crossfire, and he wasn’t
willing to risk her.
“You can’t
watch him turn, Ash. It’s dangerous.”
“But you
said—”
“I know what
I said, but this is different.” Because it’s you, he thought, but left the
words unspoken.
She shook her
head. “No, it’s not. Jenna is around them all the time. They’ve never hurt
her.”
“Jenna is
Jenna. You are not Jenna.”
She pulled
away from his embrace, her eyes narrowing. “What’s that supposed to mean? I’m
not strong like Jenna?”
“It’s not
about being strong. It’s about you being you, and it’s about me being me. I’m
not willing to risk you because I can’t live without you in this world.”
She placed
her hand over her heart as if his words caused it to ache.
He grabbed
her wrist and pulled her toward him until their bodies touched, then he snaked
his other arm around her waist. “I can’t let it happen. I can’t risk it. I have
to protect you, and I will. With every breath in me, I will.”
