Cait Douglass decides to abandon her safe life and embrace passion after her heart gets broken. Two compelling men enter her world, but she cannot determine which one to trust or what dangers her choice might bring. Jim Heron fights as a fallen angel in an cosmic war between good and evil, with humanity's fate hanging in the balance. He risks everything when he attempts to negotiate directly with Devina, a powerful demon who serves as his primary adversary. Another innocent soul becomes trapped in their supernatural conflict, and Jim's obsession with freeing someone imprisoned in Hell threatens to derract him from his divine mission. Cait finds herself pulled into forces beyond her understanding while Jim struggles with whether love makes him stronger or fatally compromises his purpose. The outcome will determine not just their personal futures but the destiny of all human souls.
