Book Description:
Jagger Sintallon, a half-demon warrior, has dedicated his
existence to fighting demons who enter the world through Hell gates. A loner of
conflicting ideals, he offers shelter to a troubled woman but knows he is too
rough, too dangerous, and too cocky for her delicate nature.
Dedicated to Divine Will, Sonya Camael, a Seraph, is determined to discover why she is drawn to Jagger's doorstep and the reason behind her mission. She needs the demon's help but fears he may get himself killed before she can figure it out and the world slips into Hell's dominion.
Sonya faces grave danger with evil stalking her every move, and
Jagger shouldn't care but realizes he cares more than he'd likely admit. Sonya
knows Jagger cannot win this war alone, but will her divine intervention mean
his imminent end? Or will just the right combination of Heaven and Hell set the
world right once again?
Short Excerpt:
Jagger hung
his head, looking very much out of patience. With an exasperated huff, he
turned in place, his boots clomping. Cocky stance, head back, and eyes daring
her to say something. But these things she only partially registered because
when he turned to face her, his entire upper body—chest, face, arms—glowed with
the marks of past insult and injury. And that sickle shape burned into the skin
over his heart—
She
whimpered, heart-sick to see him in this way. Her mother's blood cried out at
the thought of what agony he must have endured to stand here now, so marred and
wounded. Covering her eyes, she dispelled the Seraph sight and fought the
tears.
"Hey."
He was in front of her within moments, pulling her hands down and leaning to
peer at her downturned face. "Hey, what's wrong?"
"You.
You've been through so much. Just look at you."
"I'd
rather not. I'm not a pretty guy."
"Jagger.
These scars. You have countless hurts. I can't see a part of you that isn't
injured." She raised her eyes, tears brimming on her lower lashes.
"Let me help you."
"What,
you're a plastic surgeon?"
She
swallowed and regained part of her composure. "Better."
He looked
alarmed and rocked back on his heels. "You don't mean—"
"Yes,
I do." She held onto his hands and kept him from backing away. This felt
right, this decision.
His eyes
shifted. "Ah, I don't think it's a good idea, doll. Our kinds don't mix
well."
