It began with tragedy....
Continued with rebirth....
Intensified with an uncovered past....
It all ends May 1, 2013
Stay tuned for the cover reveal, but in the meantime, enjoy this excerpt....
“Stop looking at me like
that.” Angeline hissed. Dan didn’t even try to avert his eyes. She fixed her face in a glare despite the
pain it caused.
“Let me heal you all the way,
Ang. You need to be stronger if you are
going to insist on helping.” Dan
frowned, the lines creasing his otherwise perfect skin. Perfect.
Yes, Dan was perfect in every way, caring, thoughtful, loyal. All of the things a woman would want and a
Seraph to boot. It suddenly occurred to
Angeline that the entire reason she could not be with Dan was now a moot
point. Now that Olivia elevated to her
role as a White Priestess, Angeline could fall in love without fear of
repercussions for her sister. That
explained Dan’s over-eagerness to be at her side. She didn’t have time for love or
relationships at the moment and frankly neither did Dan. The realization only served to make Angeline
more angry and frustrated than she had been.
Shifting sent a jolt of pain down her leg and through her gut.
“Stop being stubborn, fairy.” Shane sauntered up, smirking. “Just let us heal you so my brother will stop
fawning over you and focus on the task at hand.
Besides, what good are you with all those busted bones and bruises?”
Angeline growled. Well, it sounded like a growl at least. Arguing was taking its toll. “Fair enough.
You can heal my bones but leave the bruises, I can function just fine
with them.”
“Deal.” Shane knelt beside her and
went to work on her leg while Dan ran his glowing hands along her rib cage,
arm, and shoulder. He started to touch
her face but Angeline withdrew.
“I said, leave the bruises.” It came out a touch harsher than she intended
but Dan withdrew. She regretted her tone
almost as much as his injured withdrawal.
No, she could not think about the possibility of him now, not with so
much left to do. Angeline shoved the
fluttering in her gut aside, ignored it and shifted her gaze to Shane
instead. “So, what do we do now?”
“We wait.” Shane responded grimly. He nodded toward Dan and backed away. Angeline pursed her lips and shook her head
but he crossed his arms and stared her down.
Angeline sat up, adjusted herself
on the chaise and folded her own arms across her chest. She looked around the study to avoid making
eye contact with Dan. She didn’t care
what Shane thought, now was not the time to contemplate her feelings for Dan or
his injured pride.
