WOUNDED ANGEL

BLURB:
A descendant of the
Angel of Vengeance, Nate da Luca was gifted with an uncanny ability to find
things. It made his job as a detective a breeze—until he learned the hard way
that some things should remain hidden. After that, his powers vanished, along
with his belief in himself. Which is going to make tracking down Gabriella
Littlefield for his latest client a challenge.
Personal trainer Ella
Little paid a hefty price for her life—now all she wants is to live it in
peace. Then a sexy hulk of a man turns up in her gym, reigniting desires she
thought she'd left behind along with her real name and hair color.
Desires she can't deny
even after she discovers Nate's no stranger to her dark past.
Before he can convince
her the attraction is mutual, Nate's going to have to earn Ella's trust. But a
demon is playing for keeps in the world of humans, using Ella as bait, and the
last thing they have is time…

“Last chance to be smart and back out.” He pulled her close,
and the fierce tenderness in the arms that held her warmed her more than their
shared body heat. “I can’t tell you to hide out until it’s all over, because I
know you won’t. I’ve finally figured out that hiding from a fight is something
you won’t do.”
And she’d thought he would never learn. “Damn straight.”
“So I’m not telling. I’m asking.” As if he found the feel of
her body irresistible when she was so close, he rubbed his hands over her back
then, with a quick glance around the sparsely populated area of the pier, slid
them lower to cup her bum. He massaged the rounded flesh until she could no
longer feel the cold. “I’m asking you to stay out of this. Protect yourself
like the irreplaceable treasure you are. Value yourself like I do, and let me
do this on my own.”
“Nate.” Her throat clenched on a knot of turbulent emotion
too chaotic and sweet to adequately label. He thought she was valuable.
Irreplaceable. With just a few words this man turned her inside out.

Author
Bio: A competitive figure skater from the age of eight, Stacy Gail began
writing stories in between events to pass the time. By the age of fourteen, she
told her parents she was either going to be a figure skating coach who was also
a published romance writer, or a romance writer who was also a skating pro. Now
with a day job of playing on the ice with her students, and writing everything
from steampunk to cyberpunk, contemporary to paranormal at night, both dreams
have come true.
