My Teaser from page 63 in the paperback.

“When he stalks a victim, I feel him. When he kills that victim, I feel him. I feel his hunger, his need, his desperation.”

I won the first four books in this series and if I go by this first book, I’m going to enjoy all of them!

Read on if you want to know more.

Synopsis

A detective with a secret lineage. An undercover Hunter with a bullet-proof soul. And a world made to pay for the sins of an angel…

Homicide detective Alexandra Jarvis answers to no one. Especially not to the new partner assigned to her in the middle of a gruesome serial killer case-a partner who is obstructive, irritatingly magnetic, and arrogant as hell. Aramael is a Power–a hunter of the Fallen Angels. A millennium ago, he sentenced his own brother to eternal exile for crimes against humanity. Now his brother is back and wreaking murderous havoc in the mortal realm. To find him, Aramael must play second to a human police officer who wants nothing to do with him and whose very bloodline threatens both his mission and his soul.

Now, faced with a fallen angel hell-bent on triggering the apocalypse, Alex and Aramael have no choice but to join forces, because only together can they stop the end of days.

BLURB:

Half-bloods with Thierry’s skill set are given two options. They can join the conclave’s marshal program, or they can pack their bags. Turn down the job offer, and you’ve just shredded your residency pass for the mortal realm and booked yourself a one-way ticket to Faerie.

 

Texas is the only home Thierry has ever known, and she’s not going anywhere. Even if it means following in her notorious father’s footsteps as a peacekeeper. But pinning on the badge opens her eyes to the fact sometimes fae need protection too, and that sometimes humans are the real monsters.

An Exclusive Excerpt

Once she turned her back, I indulged in a balance exercise and walked the curb. A misstep—stupid ankle—sent me stumbling into the grass. It was softer than the curb, so I sat and let my eyes go out of focus. The houses began fading, the road crumbled. The scent of fresh-cut grass in the air turned to dust in my lungs. As I sifted through the complex layers of glamour hiding this part of town from human eyes, the tidy subdivision faded from sight into a long dirt road going nowhere.

A door slammed shut behind me, snapping me from my thoughts.

“I assume we’re taking my car,” Mai called.

I blinked free of the camouflage, and the outlines of houses rushed back into clear focus. “Against my better judgment.”

“Good. No offense.” She pushed a button on her key fob, and the garage door opened. “But your mom’s car is on its last leg—wheel? She should put it out of its misery. It would be a mercy killing, seriously.”

“It’s not that bad.” Mom’s sedan was older than I was, but it had lasted this long. Parts of it anyway.

With a shake of her head, Mai slid behind the wheel of her celery-green coupe, a graduation gift of the nonreturnable kind, stomped on the gas and spun wide, almost sideswiping me in the process.

My knees were still knocking from my near-death experience when she lowered a window.

Patting the tiny bucket seat beside her, she called, “Hop in.”

I opened the door, folded myself inside and grasped the seat belt. Groping under my hip, I finally located the receptacle and rung the slot. She spun out before I took my right foot off the ground.

“Sorry,” she chimed. “You said we’re in a hurry, right?”

I nodded, compressing my lips while fighting to keep down my breakfast.

“Does it strike you as odd that two days into your OJT, Shaw found a way to whisk you away to a fancy-schmancy hotel for a night?” she mused. “In Dallas? Far away from prying conclave eyes?”

The next turn had me swallowing hard. “It was my idea,” I muttered from between tight lips.

She cut her eyes my way, which did terrible things to my blood pressure. “Nice.”

“Nothing is going to happen.”

She clicked her tongue. “Not with that attitude.”

“He’s my partner.”

She waved one of her hands. “Before that he was a friend and then he was your instructor.”

Wrong. Shaw had never been my friend. He had been the super-hot guy the conclave called in to chaperone the field trips I went on with other fae children when Mom flaked on me at the last minute.

“I don’t get the resistance,” she grumbled. “You’re a Class R fae—a freaking Rarity, babe. That means you can have any guy you want, and the conclave can’t say boo about it. Under the Bylaws of Earthen Cohabitation, any rare fae born on Earth is granted unrestricted access to the mate or—” she wiggled her eyebrows, “—mates of their choice. If you want Shaw, you can have him. No red tape.”

“The last thing I need is to be that girl.” I huffed. “Entitlement looks good on exactly no one.”

“Yeah, yeah.” Her eyes took on a dreamy quality. “But don’t you wonder what it would be like?”

Every time I look at him.
