Excerpt:
CHAPTER 1
Scalding hot water
traced the scars along my back as I placed my hands against the stone shower
wall. As a warrior angel, I have survived several years of battle, but not
unscathed. I have many battle wounds—most of which reside on my back and arms.
Wounds from human weapons we tend to heal without a problem; wounds by the
weapons of angels and demons are not so forgiving.
After weeks of searching
for him, last night I finally caught up with the demon I had been hunting. He
put up a ferocious fight and my muscles were still aching despite the heat of
the shower but I would be getting briefed on my next case soon so reluctantly I
reached out and turned off the faucet.
Just before I stepped
out of the shower, I froze. The air changed, and I knew that I was no longer
alone. Don’t ask me how I knew because I couldn’t tell you. Not really. There
was no pop, or bells; no flash of light, breezes, or anything like that. It was
as if there was just the slightest shift in the air. I braced for attack,
reached my right hand behind my back, and unsheathed a sword that wasn’t there a
moment before. My heavenly relics—my weapons—are always there when I need them
and never when I don’t. Where they go when I am unarmed, I have no idea. All
that matters to me is that they are there when I reach for them.
With my left foot, I
kicked open the glass door and stepped out into the empty bathroom, dripping
wet. Utterly naked but for my sword. I peeked around the door and slowly
entered my bedroom.
“What do you want?” I
said to the empty room, making my voice as calm as possible.
“Relax, Beauty, I’m
completely unarmed,” said a humored voice without a face. “You’re looking just
as scrumptious as the last time we faced each other.”
A dark-haired figure
walked in, full of ease, and leaned against my bedroom door, crossing his feet.
He had an apple from my dining-room table in his hand. I spun my sword, placing
the tip of it into his throat the moment he walked through the door. He brought
the apple to his mouth, rubbed it against his shirt, and took a big bite,
looking as though he didn’t have a care in the world.
It was Colton. My heart
leapt in my chest. It had been a few years since I’d last seen him.
Just as beautiful as he was the day he walked away . . .
Except that now he was a demon, of course.
