Book Description:
“Angels aren’t supposed to fall in love, especially
with each other. But for the record, you were worth it.”
Grace Tate is a
Protection Angel and Vampire Hunter, and she has always followed the rules. But
some rules are made to be broken…
Until now the fight
against evil has been simple, and falling in love was never part of the plan.
So what happens when it’s beyond Grace’s control, and when she least expects it
she falls for the wrong person?
All hell breaks
loose, that’s what.
At Hopetown Valley
High, not everything is as it seems, and the one person Grace thought was her
enemy becomes her most important ally.
Blood will be shed,
lives will be lost and friendships will be tested. It all comes down to one
decision, and when Grace tries to save all those dear to her, she realises not
everyone can be—or wants to be—saved.
Excerpt:
The
stars twinkled above them as they raced through the castle. They were not
permitted to stay long, only until their task was complete.
On earth everything was tangible and unique, but back home
the realm was an endless white void where everyone existed in unison. They both
loved their home, but once the magnificence of this world had been experienced,
it was hard to go back.
Over the years they’d been sent on many missions, and it
saddened him as he knew this would be their last. Coming to earth was the only
way he could spend time with her, because back in their world falling in love
was forbidden.
The sound of her giggle as she ran ahead brought a smile to
his face. It was like a beautiful melodic bell chiming inside his head. He
followed close behind, taking note of the way her dark hair flicked out behind
her and caressed the nape of her neck. He imprinted in his memory every line
and every curve of her body; because after that night he wasn’t sure if he’d
ever see her again. She turned to glance over her shoulder and he caught a
glimpse of her radiant face, her sparkling blue sapphire eyes and perfect
porcelain skin. She was beautiful, and heavenly, and he loved her.
Keeping his feelings from her was the hardest thing he’d
ever had to do, but making the decision to leave was harder still. She couldn’t
know his intentions as he knew she’d want to go with him. He wouldn’t allow it;
he couldn’t let her make that sacrifice. They were best friends and he was
closer to her than any angel he’d known. Where he was going there was no
turning back and she didn’t deserve that life. It would be better to live
without her than to stay and live with her just beyond reach. He couldn’t do it
anymore. He couldn’t risk her existence to satisfy his own, and he couldn’t let
himself love her.
She grabbed his hand and pulled him into a small stone
alcove. Her touch was warm and spread happiness through him, consuming him like
a burning fire. Touching her always made him feel like he was home.
“We have to go back now,” she whispered.
He knew it was true, but he didn’t want to leave. Not yet.
This would be the last time he saw her this way, possibly the last time he
would see her at all, and he wanted the moment to stretch on forever.
“Just a few more minutes,” he said. “I’m sure they won’t
mind.”
“They see everything, we should be back already.”
She was right, she was always right. For a moment they stood
gazing into each other’s eyes, and he wanted what he couldn’t have, wanted it
so much it hurt. He almost told her there and then exactly how he felt, but
instead he hardened his heart.
“Fly with me first?” he asked.
She hesitated, then smiled and nodded.
He slid his hands around her waist and she rested her head
on his chest. He closed his eyes and sent his orbs of light around them. The
tiny glowing spheres swirled until they joined together as one and they left
earth, bound for the outer realm. There they could fly freely, without the risk
of being seen. He thought it was the most amazing feeling in the world.
They flew side by side, twisting and turning in unison, so
in tune with each other no words were needed. He knew exactly what she would do
before she did it. A gentle breeze made by the flutter of her wings caressed
his arm and sent a shiver through him. She was magnificent, and even more so
with wings spread wide. Beautiful and silvery white, she shimmered in the night
sky and it took all his strength not to reach out and touch her. He longed to
feel the silky smoothness of her feathers beneath his fingertips, to hold her,
and it broke his heart knowing that when she arrived home he would not be with
her.
They danced and twirled. Her giggle floated among the stars
which twinkled brighter as she neared. He wished they could stay like that for
eternity, happy and free, but he’d made his decision and the time had come to
let her go.
He knew they should have been back already, so he reached
for her and took her into his arms. For a moment he savoured her touch, drew
in the fresh scent of her hair which smelt like summer rain, and made sure he’d
remember the way her body seemed to fit perfectly with his.
Together for the last time, she lifted her head and he
looked deep into her eyes. She pulled back and he could tell she was about to
ask what was wrong, she always knew when something wasn’t quite right.
Struggling to hold it in, struggling to hide his emotion, he lost the battle
and a tear trickled down his cheek. She reached up and caught it in the palm of
her hand where it sat glistening, then solidified into a diamond. Before she
could speak, he said the words he’d been waiting a long time to say.
“I renounce you and all your ways.”
The expression she held was one that would haunt him for the
rest of his life, and he hated that he made her look that way. She shook her
head and tried to grab for him, but he was already slipping away. He had no way
of telling what was in store for him, or what his fall would be like. Her
angelic face was fading into the distance, she was becoming a blur at the end
of a long black tunnel, and he could see her calling his name but he couldn’t
hear her. Before long she was a distant memory, and he was surrounded by a
cold, heavy blanket of darkness.
