I want him. I need him. Too bad having him probably means I’m going to Hell… Melanie When I was young, I almost died. Gabriel saved my life. Ever since we’ve been inseparable. He’s more than my best friend; he’s my protector, my soul mate. There is an undeniable heat between us, but something is holding him back from allowing that burning desire in his eyes to consume me. Then one fateful night changes everything. Turns out, Gabriel is my guardian angel, but by the way he touches me, he’s no saint. There’s just one problem. It’s forbidden for a guardian to bed his ward. If we’re caught, we’ll both be damned forever. Gabriel I love Melanie, just as every guardian should love their ward. I want her in ways I shouldn’t. I would have my wings taken from me if the guys upstairs knew about all the things I imagine doing to her. Maybe I’m not such a holy being after all. But even if I fall prey to my lust, I’ll protect her with my last breath. Even if it means fighting every supernatural male in town, including the devil himself. Gabriel’s Oath is the prequel to the adult paranormal romance series, The Devil Owns Downtown. Contains steamy scenes and explicit language suitable for mature readers only.
