***Maybe I wanted him to hate me. Maybe that’s why he did. Hate is a powerful idea, and if he hated me than at least I knew he felt something – that he was capable of human emotion, or any kind of emotion for that matter. I wanted that for him; to be as human and as real as possible, because that meant I was making the right choice. It meant that my decision to go against everything I’d ever known was justified.***
Astrid has amnesia, which is why she doesn’t realize she’s been kidnapped. It’s why she doesn’t know the Devinro’s are actually demonic children – Lawless’ – that took her away from her real home to use her powers of truth seeking. Its why she trusts them in spite of being their mortal enemy, and it’s the reason she choose to fight for them. But when her memories return will Astrid feel the same way?
Will her friendship with the wild yet reasonable Tess survive? Will the inexplicable hold Lain has over her disappear? Astrid once believed that blood decides our fate – that Demons were Demons, and Anglecians were Anglecians; that there was a definitive line between good and evil. But now that she’s seen both sides it’s hard to tell what’s right and what’s wrong. Maybe – just maybe – there’s a little Demon in all of us. Likewise, there’s a little Angel in us all, too.

The Burning Desire Within

Reborn: The Allies of Old (Book One)
Nineteen year old Anna Preston appears to lead a life typical for a young woman in modern-day America. But she has a secret. For the past three years she's been seeing shadowy figures mingling with the populace. Made of smoke and vapor with a vaguely human form, they are not overtly threatening, but in the recesses of her mind there are whispers of nightmares long buried and forgotten. Jared is of a race created solely for the purpose of protecting humankind from demons, and for the first two centuries of life he was fully devoted to the service. Until the very ones he protected repaid him by destroying everything he ever loved. For decades Jared's hatred of humans was a living thing, but time has a way of dulling strong emotion and centuries later he is mostly indifferent. But when he learns a vial of his blood is being used in depraved activities, a long forgotten past comes hurdling back. ** Humans, Vampires, Faerians, and Shifters once banded together to fight their common enemy, but it has been many centuries since the demons presented a real threat to the world- and in these modern times most are oblivious to the danger lurking just beyond their perception and mankind has reduced both allies and enemies to fairy tales and boogie men. Signs are beginning to appear that allude to this threat rising in power once more, but with the alliances largely broken and those still continuing the fight few and far between, the human race is on the precipice of a grave danger that could threaten their very existence. And so it is of dire need for the allies to gather together once more. Ancient prophesies will soon begin to surface, one in particular that speaks of a unifying force initiated by the unlikeliest of beings...Complete

Guardian of Dreams: The War for Vita's Soul
Daemon has lived for thousands of years, experiencing countless lives, but as time passes, the loneliness grows. He knows it's part of God's plan, yet the isolation persists. Cut off from his family and his heavenly home, Daemon was sent to Earth with a mission: to protect dreams. The Devil, however, has been corrupting dreams, stealing half-angel children after they turn 16 and recruiting them to the dark side. Daemon is the younger brother of Michael, and though few know it, God tasked him with saving these children from falling to darkness in this Holy War. When Daemon first sees Vita at 16, she is already broken, and he wonders if he can save her. But Vita is different. She cannot see or hear him as other children do. Daemon can only reach her in her dreams, causing her to wake in a paralyzed state, terrified. Neither Daemon nor the other angels understand why she is like this. Unbeknownst to them, from the moment she was adopted at 16, Daemon has been watching over Vita. She can feel his presence but doesn't understand who he is or why he's there. Vita's tragic past is the key to it all: her mother, Lilliana, had fallen in love with an angel, which altered the fate of the world. Lilliana died giving birth to Vita, and the angel, heartbroken, returned to Heaven. Left alone, Vita grew up in a hospital, abandoned, with no one to care for her. Most half-angels are the offspring of fallen angels, which is why the Devil seeks to claim their souls. But Vita is different-she is holy through and through. Still, the Devil wants her as his prized possession, an angel to fight against her own family, her own father. Vita and Daemon's relationship begins with fear. She sees him in her dreams and believes him to be a sleep paralysis demon. Paralyzed with fear, she is terrified each time she wakes. Daemon, however, is determined to reach her, but she struggles to see him for who he truly is: her savior from the darkness.
