(Let's go Pens!) Klappentext Since the beginning of time! the archangels have longed to know true love. When four female angels were created for the four archangels! Michael! Gabriel! Uriel! and Azrael! a chaos spurred by jealousy erupted! and the archesses were secreted away to Earth. The four favored archangels followed! prompting a search that has lasted millennia... As the Angel of Death! Azrael could never be like his brothers. While the others fell to Earth in human form! Azrael descended as a vampire. Today! as the lead singer of a popular rock band! he keeps his true nature hidden--a powerful darkness constantly at odds with his angelic self. Beneath his mask! Azrael holds onto the hope that he will one day find the archess who will complete him. At his brother Gabriel's wedding! Azrael set his golden eyes on Sophie Bryce! the maid of honor.

When supernatural forces emerge from the shadows! threatening Sophie! Azrael is the only one who can protect her. But to do it! he must reveal his true! savage self. Leseprobe Azrael smiled, flashing perfect white teeth that sported incisors slightly longer than the norm. Some people naturally looked like that, he knew, but on him it looked different enough that he didn’t smile often. On him, it seemed to fit too perfectly and only served to reinforce the otherworldly impressions people often had when looking at him. He was a starkly charismatic individual.

In fact, as he brushed her mind, unable to help himself from drawing nearer to her in any way possible, he was surprised to find that she found it attractive. My God , she thought. He really does look like a vampire. This was the second time she had thought such a thing. If he’d been capable of choking, he would have done so the first time her mind had muttered the impression. Hearing it now had nearly as strong an effect on Azrael. Sophie wasn’t repulsed by vampires. And the idea that he resembled one was appealing to her. Of course, Azrael was no fool. A lot of girls believed they would enjoy the company of a vampire – if vampires existed. In reality, he knew they would cower or scream or run, or most likely all three. Still… he found himself hoping. “Sophie Bryce, right? The maid of honor?” he asked, his smile utterly disarming. He’d had millennia to practice. Sophie blinked and he read her thoughts. She was desperately trying to find her head in the wake of his sudden presence. She’d been torturing herself over the last few days, and he knew it. He’d watched her every night. Listened to her. He knew damn well that she was drawn to him – and that she hated herself for it. He sensed it when a slight pain twinged up her arm and Sophie realized that her frie...
