WINNER! 2021 AUTHORS ON THE AIR ROMANCE NOVEL OF THE YEAR
Shy, introverted Lucy Dennings lives a quiet little life in New York City, working for a nonprofit and keeping to herself. Every afternoon, she goes home to her empty apartment and Edgar, her houseplant, and every night, she loses herself in the pages of her beloved romance novels. Her lonely heart seeks solace in tales of passionate, enduring, all-consuming love, but more and more, Lucy feels she’s not just reading for pleasure but searching for a lost piece of herself in the pages. As if she once touched something beautiful but it’s been ripped away.
Until one day Lucy discovers a dead body in the alley behind her apartment. Even if it’s too late, her first instinct is to help.
Her second is to run.
Because the dead body isn’t so very dead, and suddenly, her little world isn’t so little but one in which dreams feel like memories, “inner demons” actually lurk in dark alleys, and a beautiful creature of darkness with amber eyes and wings like night might hold the key to what her heart has been aching for…if she doesn’t fall down the path of eternal damnation first.
From USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author, Emma Scott, comes an emotional paranormal love story of passion, sacrifice, and the soul-deep love of a lifetime…more than one.
Casziel sure knows how to make a girl swoon…

My dearest Lucy,
It’s been three years—give or take a hundred lifetimes—since we’ve built this life together, and I’m falling more in love with you with every passing day. In all those centuries of watching you live your lives, I took as much happiness as I could from the mere fact of seeing you, being near you now and then, almost touching you… But being together again, as we were in our first lifetime in Sumer, is like nothing I could have known. Even in that first life, we were ripped apart so quickly as to only have a small taste of our love, unable to live and indulge in it.
But now, the days feels saturated with you. With us. With the richness of being together after so many long, long years of watching you from afar and dreaming of what this life might feel like.
I love you, my fierce woman, with all my soul—a soul that had been lost to darkness until you brought it into the light of redemption and forgiveness. I will never be able to repay you for that, except to love you just as fiercely in this lifetime and every life to come, until we return to stardust and eternity.
All my love,
Casziel
