Will
he sacrifice his wings for a woman he loves but can never keep?
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 cursed his existence. Knowing she can never be
his, will he sacrifice his wings for a woman he loves but can't keep?
Excerpt
He
bent toward her, wrapped one arm around her waist, the other around
her back, then buried his face in the crook of her neck and inhaled.
Relishing
the feel of her body melded against his, he forgot the worries
consuming him. She soothed his ache with a mere touch, with a mere
embrace.
Exactly
what he’d wanted, exactly what he needed.
She
then pressed her full lips against his cheek, kissing him lightly.
An
innocent kiss. There was no passion behind it, but an unconscious
consuming need, one he’d never felt, swelled inside him—desire.
It was exciting, overwhelming and terrifying, blocking logic and
reason.
All
he wanted now was a single kiss. All he could think about was how her
soft lips would feel pressed against his.
Marvelous,
he concluded.
It
was absurd to want what he did and feel what he felt, for he was an
angel. Carnal desires even as insignificant as kisses were for
others, for all others except his breed, and yet he felt it so deeply
it seared him.
The
desire that gripped him didn’t release him even after she unhooked
her arms from around his neck, and the warmth of her body melted
away.
There
he stood, immobile, battling the desire she’d sparked. He didn’t
want to leave yet knew he had to before he’d acted out his longing.
He
willed his body to move. Finally, he placed one foot behind the
other, stepped back and strode away praying the yearning he had no
right to feel for a woman who would never be his would soon subside.
