Four heart-stopping journeys to uncover and claim their fated mates . . . if fate doesn’t have other plans for them first. Fall in love with volume one of this paranormal romance boxed set full of shifting fallen angels, sassy heroines, sweet seduction, and sizable wingspans. Angel’s Target His job is to vanquish the demon threat. But when a mortal woman gets stuck in the crossfire, can he protect her from the new target on her back? Titan is second-in-command of the fallen sentinel angels, a fearsome group of earthbound angels who are tasked with protecting heaven from the demon charmers. But when a mortal woman becomes a target of his enemy, he saves her—only to discover she looks just like the woman he lost months ago. Not a day goes by that Rose Meyer doesn’t spend looking for her twin sister. What she finds, however, is a frightening magic user intent on killing her—and a hulking angel of gleaming metallic titanium who shuttles her out of the kill zone. As Titan’s power grows, so does the mysterious bond between him and the woman occupying his every thought. When they learn that Rose unknowingly possesses what the demons are searching for, their deep connection is tested as tensions run high. Because this elemental angel refuses to put her in harm’s way. Even if it means shattering his heart in the process. Angel’s Duty Her touch rekindled his dormant power, yet she wants nothing to do with him. Can he convince her he’s more than the stuff of her nightmares? Tungsten, leader of the fallen sentinel angels, has one job: restore heaven’s light to its celestial throne and cut down any demon charmers who get in his way. A task made difficult when the very light he’s sworn to protect manifests in the one mortal woman who refuses to even look at him. Any day now, Tammy Meyer hopes her life will return to normal. But normal is a pipe dream when, for her protection, a fallen angel is assigned as her bodyguard. An angel who claims she’s something more, just like the demons had. But Tammy refuses to be managed. Especially not by a dangerously strong angel whose constant nearness threatens to break through her indestructible resolve. When a great enemy resumes the hunt for Tammy and threatens to annihilate the sentinels, Tungsten must convince her to let him in before heaven’s guard, and his heart, is destroyed for good. Reader advisory: Angel’s Duty contains themes of abduction and post-traumatic stress Angel’s Devotion A quiet beauty risks it all to save a stranger, except the man she rescues is no man at all, but a fallen angel . . . one who has been admiring her in secret for years. The last thing Bridget Olsen needs is an unconscious man, bloodied and scarred, draped across her back deck. But the sight of two solid steel wings jutting from the stranger’s chiseled back gives her pause. A dangerous curiosity and long-denied temptation outweigh her good sense, and she misguidedly helps him. For four years, Steel has silently watched over shy Bridget. His secret reason eats at him every day, but it’s one he’ll never share. When the battle against the demon charmers intensifies, one unseen strike blasts him out of the sky and lands him at Bridget’s doorstep—the one place he’d sworn to never go. An unspoken pull flares bright between them, and undeniable passion ignites their soul bond. When Steel’s enemies return to finish the job they started, he and Bridget must summon the courage to come together and face their pasts before the demons destroy their futures. Angel’s Light He never forgot that one night of searing passion. Now, he’s finally found her, but she doesn’t remember him—and she’s working for his enemy. Drea Arnold is no stranger to the weird and unusual and thought herself immune to surprises. That is, until a brawny military-style man with the looks and attitude to match follows her home from work one night, spouting nonsense about fallen angels and immortal mages. The wickedly handsome man insists he knows her, but he’s crazy—as crazy as the strange feelings he stirs inside her. It's been eons since Chrome laid eyes on Drea, and he’s never forgotten her. Drea’s memory loss offers an opportunity for a second chance, but with her being as good as human and unknowingly working in the demon stronghold, would his revelations only bring peril upon her? Renewed passion for an undeniable hunger grows between them, even as the demons’ latest weapon against the sentinel angels comes to light. It’s only a matter of time before the truth shatters the mists of the past, and the demons come hunting for them both.

Now, at long last, Aodhan is healing, but his new-found strength and independence may come at a devastating cost—his relationship with Illium.

Illium and Aodhan must either walk away from the relationship that has defined them—or step forward into a future that promises a bond infinitely precious in the life of an immortal…but that demands a terrifying vulnerability from two badly bruised hearts.

Pursued ferociously, relentlessly by an ancient enemy in the deepest darkness, now she will have to learn how to fight for her life. And all because of who she is, because of her lineage.

How will Airel manage now that everything's changed? She thinks she might be falling in love, though Michael Alexander isn't her type. But those eyes. Why does she want what she can't have?

The chase for truth will take them from Oregon to Africa, on a journey fraught with peril at every step. There's something about Airel's friend Kim, too; something's not right with her.

URIEL: The Inheritance (Book 5) All Uriel wanted was to be loved... When heroes start to tell lies, even to themselves: Uriel. She's spent thousands of years fighting against her destiny, fighting against her bereaved father, against El Himself. "It's just one letter, but it's my letter, father..."
