You're at a diner and you overhear the following snatch of conversation.
"Well despite the fact that you're not of this world, it appears you eat like the rest of us."eyebrow at "Who says I'm not of this world?"
"Well, you're not exactly human."
"I am an Empyrean. My kind have been on this earth long enough to call this home now."
This is Raphael's first disclosure to Penny as to who he is in my YA Novel, "BLACK WING." and Penny's hopes to escape from her dull and claustrophobic world might just be possible with his help, for Raphael is more commonly known as an angel. With one exception: He's an angel who's come out of retirement with unfinished business. Very dangerous business.
Under Raphael's watchful eye, Penny enters a world full of demons, dark creatures, and corrupted humans in league with a fearful race known as, "The Cattivi." Their objective is to bring about the end of days. Why do they see Penny as a threat to their plans? Who is this "Black Wing," they speak of, and how does Raphael fit into this? The answers will have more bearing on Penny's future than she could ever imagine. She'll have to fight for her friends, her loved ones, while struggling to maintain her sanity and a somewhat normal life. Most importantly, she'll have to fight to discover who she really is.

The Order
For thousands of years The Order has been protecting creation from Evil, the paranormal, and sometimes themselves without the world knowing.

Each save brings them closer to their rightful power and closer to getting out. But a higher power has other plans for the disgraced Angels. Plans that keep them Earth-bound for longer than any of them anticipated. Plans that include Harper McCarthy, who has no idea what truly exists in the world. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- All Harper McCarthy wants out of life is to raise her six year old son, Cameron the best she can.

Song of the Seraph - A Dark Fallen Angel Paranormal Romance
I never asked for this. I never asked to be drawn to him, a man with the weight of centuries on his shoulders and the darkness of the world in his eyes. But now that I've found him... I can't let go. Lily's life has been nothing short of a struggle-until the night she stumbles onto Seraphiel's doorstep, drawn by a force she can't understand. He's a stranger, but something about him feels like home, like a missing piece of her soul. The more time she spends with him, the more she realizes he's no ordinary man. He's an angel-battle-worn and broken-and she's the reincarnation of someone he once loved. A love bound to a prophecy that threatens both their lives. As the connection between them deepens, so does the tension-an attraction that pulls them closer with every stolen touch, every lingering glance. The sparks between them could ignite something far darker than either of them imagined, something that may cost them their lives-or their hearts. "I don't know if I'm strong enough for this," Lily whispers, her breath hot against his skin. "But I'm willing to find out." As forces from Heaven and Hell close in, Lily must decide: Is the love she feels for him a gift... or a curse that will destroy them both? Can their love survive the darkness? Or will the prophecy tear them apart before they can claim each other completely?Complete
