My guardian angels are dead set on making me whole again. When I'm taken by him, the criminal in charge of Mathieson Enterprises, my illusion of safety shatters. He has a Midas touch that is more destructive than it is beautiful. Now, I'm broken beyond repair. But they’re there to pull me back every time I retreat into myself. Jay—my best friend—who hasn’t left my side in years. Griffin—an undercover cop—who loves me before he knows my name. Sage—a mothering doctor—who stitches me back together. Cy and Ember—the detached mercenaries—who take me in despite themselves. To them, my survival is a threat. This is a dangerous game they're playing. Trying to keep me safe is playing with fire. Sometimes the only way to find your way in the dark is to light a match.

A fire rages, and I'll let it burn. They are my guardians, the people who strengthen me and make me feel whole. Their touches set me aflame, and I’ll give them everything. In return, they’ll worship me. I can depend upon them to help me unseat him—the incarnation of evil. Arrick Mathieson is the demon in my head. He lost control after I escaped. His wrath tried to destroy everything I care about: my safety, my club, my family. He ignited an anger I didn’t know I possessed. He doesn’t get to hurt me anymore. I won’t let him. I would rather watch the world burn first. I may look like a good girl, but that doesn’t mean I won’t do things that hurt. Some might call this sin, but if I go up in flames, I’ll go down to hell with a smile. Besides, didn’t they tell you? Even the Devil was an Angel first.
