When he discovers an ancient ritual called Ascension, which might give him a shot at freedom, he can’t resist his lifelong dream. He only needs to find one last Renegade angel and take him down…using a certain woman to flush the angel out of hiding. She's not what he's expecting... moreHe's not that kind of angel.

For that kind of information, she's willing to risk everything... They can't be together -- but can't keep apart... Blindsided by Ionie's beauty and tenacity, Jarrid finds the millennia-old glacier around his heart melting.

From novelist Tricia Skinner comes a story that will have fans of action-packed love stories applauding. Seamlessly combining elements of paranormal romance and gritty urban fantasy, the Angel Assassins series is a heart-pounding spin on angel mythology. less
