About this eBook
Forbidden love wonāt stop a young couple from marrying but evil forces might in this paranormal romance from a New York Timesābestselling author.
Bethany, an angel sent to Earth, and her mortal boyfriend, Xavier, have been to Hell and back. But now their love will be put to its highest test yet, as they defy Heavenly law and marry. They donāt tell Bethās archangel siblings, Gabriel and Ivy, but the angels know soon enough, and punishment comes in a terrifying form: the Sevens, who are rogue angels bent on keeping Beth and Xavier apart, destroying Gabriel and Ivy, and darkening angelic power in the heavens.
The only way Bethany and Xavier can elude the Sevens is to hide in the open, and blend in with other mortals their own age. Gabriel and Ivy set them up at college, where they canāt reveal their relationship, and where there is still danger around each corner. Will Bethany be called back to Heavenāforeverāand face leaving the love of her life?
