Book Description: 
 
Twilight meets Lucifer in this exciting new paranormal romance.
 
Everything changed the moment sixteen-year-old Harlow Parker met the mysterious and captivating, Declan Quinn.
 
Always feeling as though she were destined to live a life of solitude, she never expected to meet someone so–magical. After the tragic death of her parents, she moved in with her godmother, Lorie, in the small, southern Kentucky town of Willow Falls. Nothing exciting ever happened here– until Declan arrived.
 
And, once she meets the mysterious and swoon-worthy Declan, everything begins to spiral out of control. The magnetic pull she feels toward him is undeniable, and a gorgeous boy who would ultimately break her heart, was the last thing Harlow needed.
 
Declan Quinn has spent centuries looking for the one who can unlock his mortality. Despite his attempts to remain hidden in the shadows of the small town, he finds himself drawn to the quiet new girl. Curiosity gets the best of Declan and he soon realizes she may just be the one he has been looking for all along. As sparks begin to flare between the pair, Harlow quickly discovers there is something dangerous and supernatural about the boy she has fallen for. Declan is withholding a dark secret that could destroy Harlow and their relationship.
 
Desire inevitably overpowers both Harlow and Declan as they find themselves in the middle of a suspenseful supernatural war between good and evil. When both of their pasts come back to haunt them, they must find a way to fight together before they are destroyed forever.
 

Excerpt:

I stop on the
corner, ready to step onto crosswalk when I hear the rumble of a car heading my
way. It is then that I decide to look up and away from the scattering of yellow
and reds broken at my feet.  

A pearl white
sedan whips past me, stirring the leaves and air so that I feel as though I’m
suddenly lost inside a tornado of fall.  

The passengers
turn to look out their window, probably confused by the strange girl who almost
walked out in front of them. Their faces strike me and I forget how to breathe.
It’s not because they are unfamiliar—Willow Falls is a small town. When you
live here, you know everyone. No, their faces strike me as odd because they are
the most beautiful and God-like creatures I have ever seen in my life.  

A pair of ocean blue eyes locks on me and I
still, my heart racing like a wild race horse.  They belong to a guy
around my age, but his striking features render me helpless. Raven black hair
highlights his features as he stares me down. A blonde-haired guy, who is just
as handsome, turns from the driver’s seat and smiles a wicked smile that causes
goose bumps to appear on my arms.
