When Francesca opens her mind to an entire world invisible to the human eyes, not only does she start seeing angels, but the terrifying demons that roam the earth as well. Now trapped in this new reality, Francesca and her Guardian Angel, Eli, struggle to keep up the charade that everything is normal, but as the war between Good and Evil rages on, one wrong move could be the end, but the right move could be the beginning."I'm sorry," he whispers as he releases his hand from my hair."Why?" I glance at him with a furrowed brow as he moves farther away. My heart aches at the sudden distance."Why? Because if I can influence your feelings with my own, who can say your feelings are real? Besides, we can't be together. I shouldn't be doing anything to make you think otherwise."I let out a breath for a laugh, "You obviously don't understand human emotions at all. You're the one who saves my life. You're the one who forced his way into my dreams every night for as long as I can remember. Yet you can sit here, right now, thinking what just happened could happen only because of one-sided feelings? I can promise you one thing, Eli; love is not such an easily manipulated emotion.""Francesca..."I stand up at his disagreeable tone and take quick, but sure, steps to approach where he is now sitting to stand in front of him."No You can't go around telling me one thing and then act the opposite. If we can't be together, don't get jealous when a guy touches me, stop making time stop when you gaze into my eyes, don't touch me like I am the most precious thing in the world, and don't keep talking like I am the one you want to be with. It isn't fair ""Fine." He lets out a whisper that might as well be a shout, as he stands up to confront me.I hesitate because of his intimidating stance for a moment, but I can't back down. I am already in too deep.He backs me up against the dryers, with his hands trapping me in place. He leans over and whispers into my ear, "This is what you want, right?""Yes," I breathe as my heart races in anticipation, my entire body heating at the sudden change in atmosphere."Then, forget the rules." Trigger Warning- Some scenes in this book depict Violence.

When extreme circumstances push Elly and Gerard together, their lives are turned upside-down. Their instant, but in Elly's case, unwanted, attraction to each other only causes more trouble as Elly finds herself the target of a serial killer, and Gerard finds himself risking his life to save her. "Just trust me." The desperation in his voice makes me realize the severity of his request, and despite my better judgment, I go along with his wish. We turn the corner and walk faster. "Okay, just making sure... At the next block, we are going to turn right again." "We are getting farther away from Clara's." "I realize that; we are not going to Clara's now." I stop walking. "Gerard, stop playing games. May is at Clara's. I need to go to Clara's." My forceful tone just bounces off him. Gerard subtly glances behind us. "Please, keep walking Elly, I will explain soon enough. We need to turn right down this next block, and I will give you instructions. "Instructions? Who does he think he is? The confusion, and slight anger, shows all over my face, but he urges me forward, with his hand on my back, so that I keep going. We take the next turn, and Gerard closes the gap between us. "Elly, I don't want you to freak out, okay? The minute I say this, your first instinct will be to turn around. Do not give into that instinct. You need to act as if everything is normal. Got it?" "Gerard, you are freaking me out more by not telling me, what is it?" I ask through gritted teeth. "Don't turn around, but I think we are being followed..."
