Synopsis

A fallen angel seeking redemption A lowly human fleeing her cult A fated mate bond that will be their deliverance…or downfall Trapped in a cult bound by lies and control, all Eve wants is her freedom. Desperate to escape the religious cult she was raised in, Eve takes a job as a housekeeper for a mythical, secretive creature. She expects to find a monster at the isolated manor, but instead finds a beautiful, otherworldly angel. If she wants to escape, she must offer Gabriel up to her church in exchange for her freedom. Fifty years ago the sky tore open, and Gabriel and his warriors Fell into the human world. They search for a way home, but to no avail. And then, in his darkness—hope appears in the form of a mysterious woman. Gabriel can’t be distracted from his helping his fellow Fallen angels return home. But he’s enchanted by her smiles and determination, even if she’s hiding secrets. As Eve falls for this mighty, winged being, she realizes she can’t betray him, leaving him to a life in a gilded cage. She also can’t face her church’s punishment for failure. As danger grows around them, can Eve find a way to save them both? After angels fall, can love take flight? A romance about a Fallen alpha angel, his human fated mate, and a gothic manor on windswept moors.
