Azrael descended to earth along with three other archangels in order to search for the four female angels that were created for them. As they fell, Azrael was transformed into a vampire. Today he is the lead singer of a popular rock band and hides his true identity. He constantly searches for the angel that was meant for him. When he sees Sophie Bryce at archangel Gabriel's wedding, he knows she's the one. Only she doesn't know it. Unaware of her real angelic self, she begins to be the target of dark supernatural forces, leaving Azrael as the only one who can save her. In order to do this, he must sacrifice his cover and reveal who he truly is.

The third book in the Lost Angels series, DEATH'S ANGEL gives us Azrael's story. As he searches for his soul mate, he finds her at archangel Gabriel's wedding. Sophie is beautiful but the twist is she has no idea that she was made for Azreal. This sets the stage for an emotionally packed tale filled with steamy sex and passion.

Book Summary

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. He is certain she is his destined mate, and will do anything to make her his. But Sophie is unaware of her archess identity, and is haunted by unspeakable demons of her own.

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.
