They are known as The Guardians. Jack Bennett comes from a long line of Guardians, a fact that has been drummed into him since he was a kid. When he and a select group of elite Guardians are called upon by Michael the Archangel to complete a special assignment, Jack gladly accepts. Seven years later, a failing mission and personal losses have left him jaded, bitter and without room for love or relationships in his life. The past that Addison Monroe is so desperately trying to escape is one she can’t outrun. The darkness inside that causes her to act unpredictably has gone unexplained until now. A woman claiming to be an angel appears with a revelation that will shake Addison to her core. Her dark nature is explained as Addison discovers that she is one of the Nephilim—a child born of a human mother and demon father. Despite the dark nature she was born with, Addison has been chosen by Heaven for a special purpose. Ten scrolls spelled to open up portals between Hell and Earth … ten demons who are using them to come and go from Earth at will, a violation of the terms set by heaven in the battle for souls … one demon known as the Great Duke of Hell who will stop at nothing to defeat her. Fighting alongside two Guardians, Addison must uncover the legendary Seal of Solomon—a ring that is said to possess the power to destroy demons, and wield it against the enemies of Heaven. As his task to protect her develops into something more, Jack will find separating his job from his personal life nearly impossible. Ignoring the dangers of becoming too attached, Jack will find that a woman whose very nature should repulse him, might just be his saving grace. less

With one of Hell’s most notorious demons—Lilith, mother of legions—after her, she can’t afford to let her personal life become a distraction. As the war with Hell continues, Jack Bennett fights to get himself back in the game. Little does he know that returning home will only complicate matters, as nothing can ever be the same between him and the two people he cares for most in the world: his best friend, and the love of his life. Micah Boudreaux never thought he would get stuck babysitting ‘the chosen one’ all by himself, but without his partner, Jack, in the picture, he isn’t left with much of a choice. The fact that she’s a demon half-breed only reminds him of all he’s lost to the side of Evil. Yet, hating her becomes difficult as he’s forced to work alongside her on a mission he’s spent seven years trying to complete. He never counted on Addison stoking feelings in him that have lain dormant for so long. It’s wrong to want her. She’s his best friend’s girl, and has the blood of demons running through her veins. Yet, despite all of it, the demon-hunter with a complicated past will dare to hope for more. Even though life has never given him much, he will dare to hope for love … even in the midst of a dark world and a conflict he sees as unwinnable. less

However, none of what she’s been through in the past could have prepared her to descend into the darkest place of all … Hell. Aside from her current assignment of using the Seal of Solomon to destroy ten of the most powerful demons in existence, she also finds herself facing all-out war between her father, the demon Eligos, and Lucifer himself. A war between two dark lords of the underworld shouldn’t concern her, but the balance of the entire spiritual world could be at stake. Her mission is clear: recruit her Nephilim siblings to help her fight on the side of good against evil. But with demons out for her blood and tensions running high between the half-demon Nephilim and the Guardians, Addison will find herself straddling two different sides of the spirit world—dark and light. With war on the horizon and the fate of the world resting on her shoulders, Addison shouldn’t have time to think about her love life. But, with best friends Jack and Micah both after her heart, she will face an impossible choice—choose one, and risk hurting the other while destroying a brotherhood. Even when she makes her decision, Addison will be met with a startling truth; whomever she chooses will be in constant danger because of her involvement in Hell’s war. Can she save the world and still follow her heart, making a life with the man she loves? less
