Demon of Vengeance: Chronicles of the Fallen, Book 4 (28 page)

Epilogue

Maggie tore down the stairs. She couldn’t catch her breath. Her mind raced.

“Oh, no. No, no, no,” she whispered furiously as she threw the door to the newly remodeled study open and burst inside.

Gideon was around the desk and grabbing hold of her before she made it halfway across the room. “What’s wrong? What happened?”

Maggie clutched the front of his shirt. Her wild-eyed gaze swept the room, touching briefly on the three couples gathered round the fireplace.

“I just checked on Mikhail—”

“Damn it, Maggie! I told you not to—”

“Gideon, listen to me!” She fisted her hands in his shirt and tugged. “He’s gone. Mikhail’s gone!”

A demon with nothing left to lose. A Halfling who will prove him wrong.

Chronicles of the Fallen
, Book 3

With the destruction of the Amulet of the Gods, Gideon’s last hope of Divine forgiveness is lost. Cursed to never know the touch of another, he spirals closer to losing control. But, for the sake of his brethren, he takes on one last mission.

His simple task, to guard a very special Halfling, quickly becomes a complicated mess. The feisty woman sets fire to his blackened soul. Curse or no curse, he will stay by her side—even though he is more of a threat to her than the demon prince plotting to take over the world.

Despite the dubious “blessing” of her birthright, Maggie is happy with a career she loves, a place of her own and a circle of good friends. But Gideon—The Demon of Temptation—seduces her out of her comfort zone and plunges her into a world she’s never known.

Entangled in the blurred lines between good and evil, desire and destruction, Maggie’s only chance for survival is to trust her very life to the one man who doesn’t even trust himself.

Warning: Contains an unpredictable demon surviving on the edge, and a desperate Halfling determined to live life on her own terms. And so continues the journey of six fallen demons and the women who capture their hearts.

The darker side of his nature just can’t let her go.

Chronicles of the Fallen
, Book 1

Born of heaven, forged in hellfire and damnation, Xander roams the earth as an unlikely protector of the innocent. Grudgingly embroiled in a demon uprising, Xander must help his brothers-in-arms recover four Sacred Relics rumored to be Lucifer’s downfall.

The stakes are simple. If he fails, a new regime will assume control of the underworld and the boundaries between hell and earth will crumble. If he succeeds, long-awaited salvation could be his. But when a beautiful innocent is caught in the crossfire, the price of redemption could be too steep.

Kyanna Hughes is a hereditary Guardian, sworn to protect a sacred Relic at all costs. From the cradle, she was taught to hate all things demon, but her unwanted attraction to Xander turns everything she’s been taught upside down.

The danger she faces involves more than her heart. For Kyanna is not only a Guardian, but a keeper of secrets so dangerous, that to keep them out of demon hands even the angels in heaven would see her dead…

Warning: Contains a demon with a notoriously single-minded determination to save the world, and a sworn enemy for whom he will risk eternal damnation. And so begins the journey of six fallen demons and the women who capture their hearts…

Not even the fires of Hell will keep this demon from his mate.
