Chamuel Conner, an archangel who'd rather drink whiskey than attend council meetings is ordered to San Gabriel to find the fae who escaped a virtual prison. Tara Sunder, scarred by a carnival of human lust and hiding as a fragile sanctuary owner refuses every attempt to drag her back into the Winter Court until a macabre warning and a string of assassins prove her life is already forfeit.Thrown together by treaty and deception, Chamuel and Tara form a brittle alliance: he must keep her breathing; she must decide whether this golden-winged savior is the mate her soul remembers or another weapon in Sabrina's game. As trolls, sorcery, and a Jade‑heart prophecy close in, the pair must outwit a necromancer who can bind minds and a Holly King who promises an eternal winter if Tara doesn't return.This is a high‑stakes, darkly sensual urban fantasy about a hunted queen, an archangel with a past he can't outrun, and a love that may be the only thing left to stop a world from freezing. Read it for the courtroom politics of fae, the pulse of mortal danger, and a scorched‑earth, destined romance. Across the five books series, we follow our odd, furious crew—bakers, ravens, archangels, and a few thieves—through motel rooms, Valhalla trials, and underworld bargains. We steal books back from necromancers, retrieve jasper from frozen ice caves, and sleep beside each other while gods decide our fate. Love here is not a tidy prize; it's the only leverage against true death.
