Book 3 of When an Angel and Human Collide series, however can be read as a standalone. Ajax has never been a warrior. His fear is constant and born from trauma dismissed, truths questioned, and years of learning that speaking up only made things worse. The anxiety he carries is constant and consuming, a reminder of battles he fought alone and was told didn't exist. Then Ares walks onto his bus. Brilliantly alive, unapologetically loud, and seemingly made of fire, Ares should be everything Ajax fears. He is the God of War-born of battle, drawn to chaos, thriving where Ajax doesn't. Yet beneath the bravado lies an unexpected patience. Ares sees things others overlook: the quiet strength in restraint and the courage it takes to keep going when every instinct says to run. As their worlds collide, Ajax is pulled into a storm of emotion, healing, and desire he never believed he was strong enough to face. Loving a god of war forces him to confront his past and redefine what battle truly means.
