THE BRIDE OF THE FALLING

Ashley Dean has always sensed she didn't belong entirely to this world.
Dreams of golden fields, a voice calling her little star, and a warmth in her chest that flares like living light-
signs she never understood, warnings she never learned to read.

But the truth is simple and terrifying:

Ashley isn't just human.
She is pure.
She is celestial blood wrapped in mortal skin.
And purity attracts darkness the way light draws shadows.

Nothing proves that more than Damien Axford,
the cold, magnetic billionaire who buys her company overnight
and chooses her as his Personal Assistant the moment their eyes meet.

Ashley's spirit recoils from him violently.
Her chest burns.
Her instincts scream run.
Something inside her recognizes him instantly-

Because Damien is not a man.
Not fully.

He is an Incubus, ancient and deadly, a creature who feeds on desire.
Every touch he steals leaves his victims hollow forever-
a curse known as The Allo Effect.

Damien has broken countless souls without remorse.
He has never hesitated.
Never cared.
Never wavered.

Until Ashley.

Her purity burns him.
Her presence unsettles him.
Her resistance awakens something he thought long dead.

Humanity.
Guilt.
And the terrifying possibility of redemption.

She becomes the one woman whose essence he cannot take-
not without destroying everything she is
and everything he might become.

As their worlds collide-
Ashley's hidden celestial heritage begins to awaken,
and Damien's hunger spirals out of control.

He should run from her.
He should stay far away.
He should never touch her.

But purity draws darkness.
And darkness bends toward purity.

Ashley is destined to be his ruin-
or his salvation.
And Damien, the creature who hollowed others,
may find himself becoming whole only in her light.

A forbidden bond.
A dangerous hunger.
A purity that could save a monster-
or shatter them both.

Because in the end...

Light does not redeem darkness gently.
It burns it clean.
