The Archangel Michael is consumed with responsibilities, but his one smoldering desire is to return to Earth and the woman who stirs his blood and heart like no other.
Gemma Joyce.
Gemma's passion, her life's work, are foundlings. She wants these abandoned vampire children to have what she never had: security, knowledge and most importantly, acceptance. In her nearly three thousand years on the planet, no one, including the Protectorate, has bothered to help her reach that goal.
Until Michael.
Though his presence, his promise, and their steamy encounter preys often on her mind, Michael is nowhere to be found. Moreover, Gemma is furious for allowing herself to mistake her hormones for hope. When a foundling baby and her werewolf-witch guardian come to Gemma with a desperate plea for help, her only option is to turn to the Protectorate, and Michael. When the battle for the child brings Lucifer to Earth and leaves Gemma at death's grisly door, Michael will have to make vows to keep her alive, at any cost. But what he must do will irrevocably change them forever, uniting them in an unholy pact.
As an internal war wages, all the way to Heaven's door, fraught with questions only Gemma can answer -- will Michael be able to convince Gemma that his feelings for her are real?
Will she allow Michael entry to her heart? Or will she reject his gift and spend an eternity in desolation? |
