Synopsis
After surviving an attack from a demon that killed her friend, Maddy Page thought the worst was over.
It’s not.
Word is spreading through the supernatural world about Maddy, the mortal girl with rare gifts. Some want to use her powers; others want to destroy her. One wants to protect her—her boyfriend, an angel named MJ.
MJ knows that the demon that attacked Maddy was sent to collect her by someone very powerful. Someone he has tried and failed to stop before. MJ can’t beat him, but he will do whatever it takes to keep Maddy safe, even if it means turning his back on his own kind.

Don’t forget—you’re not just any mortal. You stopped me when I made the worst mistake of my life and tried to attack you. You fought off an abnormally skilled demon and saved your sister. As horrified as I am that you had to do that, I’m also glad you can defend yourself.

I’m done.

Excerpt
CHAPTER 2
MJMaddy’s beautiful mouth
“I–I don’t know if I can.”
“Try. That’s all I’m asking.”
“No, it’s not. You don’t know what you’re asking.
That dream
It’s
Tears line her eyes. Moisture fills the air around us, ready and waiting to fall as rain the moment that teardrop breaks free. I will not be the reason behind her pain. I pull her into me, wrapping my arms around her.
“Hey. It’s okay. You don’t have to explain. I know you were unconscious and had no control over anything that happened to you. I just wanted to understand what you saw and how you saw it. We don’t need to try it. It’s fine.
Nothing is more important to me than you.”
For several moments, she’s silent in my arms. But her emotions are so chaotic, my essence can barely keep up.
Just as swiftly, though, her emotions settle inside her and calmness fills the air around us. She’s made her decision.
We’re done for the day. I’m not disappointed or upset by this. I will never force her to do anything she doesn’t want to do. I respect her choice.
“If we do this,” she begins, “and it does work, what then?”
I arch a brow, caught off guard by her question.
Does this mean she’s considering it? I choose my next words carefully, not wanting to sway her one way or the other. “We could practice—work on strengthening this
“No. I mean, what will you do if this works and you relive that day all over again?”
My mouth opens, but nothing comes out. Her words sink in, leaving their mark on my soul. I’ve battled millions of demons and secretly fought against the leader of the Fallen. Not once did anyone worry for me. Of course she would.
Me, I hadn’t thought it through that far. If she could somehow recreate that day and make it feel just as real as her bridge does
I take an unnecessary breath to push back my thoughts before I say, “I’ve spent my
She leans back, and I’m once again lost in the deep green forest of her eyes. “Okay. I’ll try. But I can’t guarantee it will work.”
Gently, I place my hand on her cheek—my essence strengthens inside her. I search out her doubts, trying to give her the reassurance she needs.
“It’s okay,” I say. “If it works, we’ll be together. And besides, we know how this works, right? One touch sends us there. The next one sends us back. You’ll be safe. I’ll be fine. I promise.”
Her eyes narrow, searching me as she mulls it over for a moment. Then she nods. “Okay.”
I nod back. “Would it help you concentrate on sending us if I described the scene to you?”
She shudders. “No. I doubt I’ll ever forget it.
“Lifa. And what do you mean, ‘try’?”
“This is different than the bridge. The bridge is a real, physical place. This was a dream—a nightmare of a dream—that doesn’t really exist. Not anymore. Plus, getting there is only part of the problem. There was a lot going on in the village. I wouldn’t want us to land in a pile of rubble or in a fire or in front of people. I don’t even know if they can see us.”
“It was a dream, Maddy. A vision. It may have felt real, but it wasn’t. There’s nothing to fear by going back into it.
Dreams can’t hurt you.” She huffs and shakes her head in disbelief.
“Do you think I would willingly put you at risk?”
For a moment, I think she’s going to argue, then she bites her lip and turns away. I close the small gap between us, wrapping my arms around her. My essence feeds off the excitement building inside her. Within a second, it returns to me. The outside world falls away, and I’m once again lost in the dense forest of her emerald-green eyes. I lean down.
Her warm breath kisses my lips—mine
“You can do this, Maddy. I believe in you.”
Her eyes widen, and then she

Darkness descends on me—my body twists and tightens as if it were being sent through a clothes wringer.
Suddenly the feelings vanish. The darkness fades, and I open my eyes. Thick black smoke covers the sky. Screams echo on the wind, which carries the scent I’ve tried to forget.
The smell is my people burning.
“MJ!” a voice cries out. I follow the sound to
Maddy
I’m torn between rushing to her and rushing to help my people. There is nothing I can do for them, though.
They all died. This is just a recreation existing in an alternate plane, like the version of the
Maddy waves her hand, motioning for me to come to her. If I don’t, it’s just a matter of time before she comes to me. Besides, her
“We didn’t stay together,” she says.
I think back to all the times she’s taken us to the bridge. No matter what our original position was, it would be different when we arrived on the bridge. We could be standing, sitting, or lying down. The distance between
The only thing that remained consistent was that we were never touching there.
“Maybe that’s just how it works,” I reply. “Or maybe that will change once you can control it more.” A thud sounds on the other side of the cart. Maddy crawls underneath the cart, but it isn’t stable. The front end is smashed, and the left wheel is barely hanging on. It could collapse and crush her.
I take a breath, reminding myself this is a dream, and dreams can’t hurt her, then I follow her under the cart.
A woman
All at once, I’m lost in a forgotten memory.
