Synopsis:
Madeline Noel fled war-torn Heaven to hide within the mortal world, but the blessing that could protect her from evil is the holy realm’s forbidden power.
As a talented soprano for the Eden Theatre Company, Madeline hides among prima donnas and tone-deaf flutists. Her perfect voice may entertain audiences, but a careless laugh may shatter glass, and her greatest scream can kill. To control her unrestrained voice, the angels forbid Madeline from embracing the emotions that strengthen her song. Anger. Fear.
Love.
The demon-hunter Damascus vows to defend Madeline from Hell’s relentless evil, but he cannot protect her from her own feelings. Though they deny their dangerous attraction, her guardian becomes her greatest temptation.
Surrendering to desire may awaken the gift suppressed within Madeline’s soul, and neither Heaven nor Hell will allow such absolute power to exist.

Excerpt:
Madeline hoped her voice didn’t reflect her
desperation. The pain crushed her from the inside out.
“I have been hiding for a year. Most of my
sisters were murdered, and I am next. I can’t sleep. I can’t eat. I’m terrified
of the dark, of loud noises, of letting my guard down…” Her honesty was as dangerous as an
uncontrolled voice. “I’m afraid of losing you. The only peace I’ve found is
within the theater, where I can sing and act and forget all of these horrible,
frightening secrets.”
“I understand—”
“You’ll stay with me in the theater. I’ll
never be alone. No demon is stupid enough to attack in a crowd. We’ll be
prepared.”
The glow surrounding Damascus faded into the
dim light cast from the only surviving bulb in the room. His pause threaded her
with victory.
“It’s foolish,” he said.
“It’s what I want.”
Her voice cracked. A tear stained her cheek.
She wiped it away. Another followed. She dried them, stifled the suffocating
threat of sorrow, and wished to escape every dangerous thought fleeting through
her mind. But what worked for eons tickled her cheek with more tears. It damned
her more than any scream.
“Stay calm, Magdala.”
“It’s not fair.” Her composure wavered as he
approached. “We are the Chosen. We were given free will. Why am I not permitted
to experience it? Why can’t we be together?”
“It’s too dangerous. Your voice would be
uncontrolled if we surrendered to an emotion as powerful as desire. The Realm
forbids it. I won’t let you get hurt because you lose control.”
“Let me try!” She covered her mouth, but her
words trembled her body. “The Realm would have me die without knowing how it
feels to be with you—”
Damascus captured her before she fought him
away. His lips lowered onto hers.
Madeline faded into light. She stood still,
uncertain and timid, as he guided her against him. Her groaned surprised them
both, the burst of emotion unguarded and pure as he kissed her, nibbled her
parted lips. Everything suppressed and hidden, forbidden and wonderful throbbed
within her.
Safety. Surprise. Relief.
Desire.
But it was her broken sob which startled
her, her voice cracking as she pushed him away.
“I’m sorry.” He released her with a curse.
“I didn’t, I shouldn’t have—”
“You can’t be here, Damascus.”
“It will not happen again.”
“I can’t do this.”
“I know. It was a mistake.”
Madeline shook her head. “Please go.”
Damascus repeated her name. She fought the
call, rubbing her temples as the frustration and pain and bursting excitement
twisted within a barely contained cry.
“I never meant to hurt you,” Damascus said.
“Tell me what I can do.”
“Let Corinth kill me.”
“Never!”
His fingers gently brushed the tears from
her cheek. Madeline took his hand only to push it away.
She swore it would be the last time she ever
touched him.
“Why should I live if I will spend all of
eternity heartbroken?”
