Description:
Saved by the angel sent to kill them, four
half-angel boys are trained and employed as Heaven’s assassins. Jarrid and his
nephilim brothers are raised as members of The Eternal Order, and must enforce
Heaven’s laws by hunting down those who defy the Directorate.
His only
shot at freedom is Ascension, but his employers won’t permit the ancient ritual.
Then Jarrid learns a Renegade angel is in Detroit. Such a high-level takedown
is the answer to his prayers—all the leverage he needs to Ascend.
For
freedom, Jarrid is willing to do anything to lure his elusive enemy out of
hiding.
Even use an innocent woman as bait.
News reporter Ionie
Gifford has no clue an angel outlaw wants her dead. She agrees to help Jarrid,
the enigmatic nephilim with penetrating silver eyes and a worship-worthy body,
but only because he accepts her terms. He’s her all-access pass into the city’s
supernatural underworld where she hopes to locate her mother’s
killer.
Blindsided by Ionie's beauty and tenacity, Jarrid soon finds
the eternity-old glacier around his heart thawing. With duty and desire at war
within him, he’s forced to make a choice—either save Ionie from the trap he
snared and stay chained to Heaven, or allow her to become collateral
damage.
