'Dru is a blood-bound assassin, tied to Hell and her master for eternity — okay, not ‘eternity’, but it sure as Hell feels like it. She’s got a slight attitude problem, a strict no-touching rule and she has claws and knows how to use them. She’s also willing to earn her freedom at any cost, even if that means stealing from an angel. Azrael was once a member of an elite unit in Heaven’s army, but after a priceless artifact was stolen on his watch, he was thrown out of Heaven. Now the fallen angel is on a mission: find Heaven’s Heart, save his missing comrades, and get even with the angel who took his wings. The first time Azrael and Dru meet, she leaves him for dead. The second time, they’re tasked with the same mission — retrieve Odin’s Orb. Will their sparking passion derail their best-laid plans? Or will they play for keeps?'

'Gabriel Black is the scoundrel of his family. Born without magic into a town full of power, he runs a special kind of supply store filled with rare and magical artifacts. But Gabe isn’t interested in helping people, and when Verity crashes into his life, he’s in for a world of trouble.

'Can they learn to work together, before Verity’s magic spins out of control and she plunges the whole town into chaos?'
