A Demon's Promise


Book Description

I'm the future leader of the angels' army on earth. He was created by the demons we fight. Our love could save the world—or end it. All I’ve ever wanted was a normal life, but two days before I’m supposed to leave for college, Mom wakes me up at the butt-crack of dawn so we can hit the road early. She acts like we can’t escape this city fast enough, but won’t explain. I know we have family secrets. She’s been guarding them from me all my life, supposedly with good reason. But after a bizarre attack by creatures that can’t possibly be real, I think it’s time for me to know the truth, with or without her help. I’ve barely started my covert investigation, though, when I meet Tristan Knight. He’s gorgeous, smart, and talented, and he seems to enjoy hanging out with me. I suddenly forget all about our enigmatic family and retreat behind my façade of normalcy. At least, until one fateful night when I discover he’s not normal either. The secrets begin to unravel. Supposedly, we’re fated mates, and our union brings hope to my family’s secret society, a/k/a the Angels’ army on earth. Our love could save the world. Or end it. Because the Angels aren’t the only ones who want us on their side. The Demons will stop at nothing to claim the ultimate power couple. After all, we’re a match made in Heaven—and in Hell. * * * * * Over 4,000 Five-Star Reviews (Goodreads/Retailers) Recommended Read by Midwest Book Review, RT Book Reviews, and USAToday “An exciting and fascinating fantasy of demons and angels, highly recommended.” - Midwest Book Review “Keeps the reader spellbound to the end, eager to discover what comes next.” - The Charlotte Sun “A fantastic epic love story.
