True Angel: a Fallen Angel romance (Curse of the Othersiders Book 1)
Page 22
“Netzach,” he murmured, whispering the name of his Fallen. “He believes it’s a mark of his curse. Both of them.”
“And that is precisely why I said it was up to you if you want to tell him, Robert.”
Robert sniffed. “I don’t know if I should thank you or run you off the mountain.”
Dina knew he didn’t mean it. Still, she prepared a portal at her side in case she needed to make a hasty exit, then admitted, “I’ve seen her, you know.”
Robert’s wide blue eyes went huge. “Her? His female?”
“It has to be. I sensed the amar mark, same as Camiel’s female, and I could sense your Fallen. It has to be her.”
A rumble deep in Robert’s chest, too agitated to be a purr. “Netzach acts as if their chance meeting was just another punishment. A tease. A temptation. After he sent her away, he’s never looked for her again.”
“But you have,” Dina guessed.
“He’s my Fallen.”
“You’re only supposed to tally his points, Robert.”
“And you were supposed to do the same,” he snapped back at Dina. “But that didn’t stop you from coming to ask me about amar marks before, did it?”
He wasn’t wrong about that. And his help when it came to Camiel was the main reason why Dina was returning the favor right now. “She’s in Spring Valley. The mortal female.”
“So close? How? She was living in Louisiana the last I knew.” A soft twang added to his slow drawl when he said Louisiana. Unlike Dina’s clip of an accent, Robert sounded like he was straight out of the Southern United States. “I wonder what brought her back to the east coast.”
“You really did keep tabs on her.”
“I did. I thought… it doesn’t matter. Not now. But, Dina… you’re sure?” When she nodded, he let out a huff. “This is… I’ll have to think about this. Spring Valley, yeah? I need to look into this further before I bring it to my Fallen.”
Dina expected no less. When in doubt, auditors always researched, looking for something concrete. It was part of the auditor’s code: Add. Subtract. Learn.
She’d passed along as much knowledge as she had. Now, it was Robert’s turn.
“Good luck, my friend.”
Because, Dina thought as she leaped into another portal after his reluctant ‘thanks’, Robert was going to need it.
Thank you for reading Cam and Avery’s story! If you want to learn more about Zach, his curse, and his past (and future) with Donna, Night Angel will be coming out on June 15, 2021. Keep turning for a peek at the cover, plus the blurb for the next book in the series!

Night Angel (Curse of the Othersiders #2)
Halo or horns?
Or… fangs?
Netzach is an outsider among outsiders. An Othersider attacked by vampires, he’s a rare breed: A Fallen angel that hides in the darkness, hunts at night, and survives on blood.
Figuring he’s already a monster, Zach has resigned himself to his inevitable fate: turning into a demon and spending eternity in the down below. Nothing can change that. Not the devotion of his auditor. Not the promise of a halo and salvation.
And especially not the mortal soulmate that he gave up more than a decade ago…
Donna Rescalo has never forgotten the angel that saved her life when she was a teenager. From the moment she looked in his eyes, she was lost, and when he promised he’d return for her, she believed him.
That was eleven years ago this June. And, apart from the strange tattoo that appeared on her skin after their first meeting, she’d never heard from him again. Tired of waiting, she eventually put him behind her and started her life anew across the country.
But she never forgot him.
When a family emergency has Donna returning to Spring Valley for the first time in a decade, she’s forced to confront her past in more ways than one. First, her stalker of an ex who doesn’t understand that she didn’t come back for him. And then, when her father gets lost during a hunting trip on the mountain where she nearly died, and Donna leads the search.
Except it isn’t just her father she finds on the mountain…
**Night Angel is the second in a new series by the author of the Claws Clause. Think The Good Place meets Beauty and the Beast. The monster in the mountains will do anything to claim the beauty he lost years ago, even if he has to use her loyalty to her father against her. What he doesn’t expect? Is that more than ten years later, she still has some loyalty to him.

Wonder what Azrael was up to? Check out his appearance in Ghost of Jealousy!
I exist—
Dodge McCoy is dead.
Died more than a century ago, one of countless who never made it out of his New York City slum. And while a bullet might've ended his life, his afterlife was only just beginning.
He's a ghost. A phantom. A spirit.
And he’s just about gone.
Without his fated mate—without his “key”—Dodge will experience his second (and final) death. For years, he put off searching, mainly because he still harbors scars over the betrayal that led to his first death. In his eyes, it would be better to fade away than let another woman tear his heart to shreds.
Too bad it isn’t as easy as that. Turns out there’s a catch that no one’s ever mentioned to him before: when he dies again, so does his key.
Which would be fine—if Dodge didn’t know who his key was. Since he does, and he’s been avoiding her for more than a decade, it doesn’t seem right to take the talented beauty with him when he goes.
So, using the last of his energy, he leaves the Bumptown behind in search of the one woman who could save him…
I escape—
Laurel Kane is a star.
America’s sweetheart since she was a teen, she stepped away from the limelight a few years ago. Rumors swirled, gossip bloggers coming up with the most outrageous reasons why she walked away from her high-profile career. Laurel heard it all and said nothing.
What could she say?
That she saw dead people?
She always knew that Paras were out there. In Hollywood, nearly everyone had some kind of power—there just wasn’t anyone like her.
Afraid she was losing her mind, she sought help and treatment, whatever it would take to stop the visions. But, just when she thought she had, right on the cusp of her comeback, he shows up.
Brash. Cocky. Arrogant. A relic from the past, the century-old ghost bumps into her and, to her surprise, she actually feels it.
And that’s when she realizes her new sitcom might just have to be put on hold…
With time running out and the angel of death literally at their back, these two will have to get along long enough to break the curse tying them together—or else Dodge won’t be the only ghost.
* Ghost of Jealousy is the fourth full-length novel in the Claws Clause series. It’s the story of a ghostly hero from another time and the secretive starlet who holds his life—and his heart—in her hands.
