About this book

When a Sentinel angel tasked with hunting the Fallen meets a fierce human woman hungry for vengeance, the forbidden attraction between them threatens to unravel everything—his centuries-old discipline, the mission that defines him, and the celestial rules he's sworn to uphold. She wants to infiltrate the corrupt underworld of Detroit to take down a crime ring, and he's dangerously willing to help her, consequences be damned. What unfolds is a darkly intoxicating romance where two people from opposite worlds discover that sometimes breaking the rules is the only way to survive the darkness closing in around them. If you crave paranormal romance with serious edge, morally gray characters, and the kind of tension that sizzles off the page, this is your next obsession.

AI-generated synopsis

seductivedarkforbiddenintensecorrupted

Dark, sultry, and dangerously intoxicating—industrial beats meet sensual R&B and moody alternative rock. Think Massive Attack, The Weeknd, and Halestorm. Forbidden desire, celestial corruption, and raw magnetic tension. Scorching chemistry wrapped in shadows and sin.
