Angelica… I’ve always been the preacher’s daughter, their perfect little angel. But I won’t be their angel anymore. It’s time for me to live my own life. Little did I know I was stepping straight out of my safe dream…into a nightmare. The only one who can save me now is a man my daddy calls a devil—a criminal with a leather jacket and tattoos. But he makes my heart beat…makes me feel alive. No matter how strong he is, though, hell will claim me again. Torq… She’s too good to be true—too good for a man like me. But I knew the first time I saw her, I needed to claim her and make her my own. There are men evil enough to hurt the innocent, defile the sacred, like my Angel. Those men must die. I’ve already saved her once. I’ll gladly go to hell and back to do it again.

Amy The life I once knew has changed, and now I’m stuck in a world of endless darkness, where people I care about are getting hurt. I feel helpless, vulnerable…afraid that one day the shadows from my nightmares will swallow me whole. Then there’s him. He’s a sliver of light in my dark world, giving me the courage to face my fears. But he’s scarred, broken by a past that left him hardened, cold, and bitter. Chances are my heart will end up being his next victim. Ice-Man I’ve vowed never to let a woman get close to me again. I’ve avoided risking my soul and never put my heart on the line. Until her. There’s something about Amy I can’t resist. She’s sassy, funny, and vivacious—everything a cold-hearted bastard like me needs in this cruel world. She thaws the ice in my veins, giving new life to my blackened heart. All that matters now is protecting her. If I have to pave my own way to hell to keep her safe…then so be it.
