Romance

Half incubus and half angel, Cam precariously treads a thin line between good and evil. Haunted by a past that can never be absolved, he hopes to tip the scale in favor of good and devotes his life to the Angel Warriors. As civil war rages amongst Justice Angels in Heaven, Cam and fellow earthly exiled Angel Warriors scramble to survive to continue their eternal battle against Lucifer and his demons. Only one thing from Heaven calls to Cam. Amadeaha. Innocent niece to the leader of the Justice Angels. The one female he yearns to claim and mark as his mate for eternity. The one female he has vowed never to touch. But when her life is placed in danger and she rushes to his side, Cam must decide which is the greater threat, the evil hunting her, or his love that will damn her for all eternity.

With the powers of Heaven divided, things have never been more perilous for Cam and the angel warriors. As leader of the empaths not only does he have to protect his family and followers from the justice angels, but now the Powers, demons, and possibly the fairies have entered the war. Only one thing gives him hope and keeps his demon half calm, the love for his mate, Amadeaha. That is even put to the test as the angel warriors are attacked and everything he holds dear is threatened. Then Cam faces a loss so devastating that he may succumb to the darkness. Forever.
