Seven deadly sins. Seven souls that must be saved. One more no-holds- barred battle between a fallen angel with a hardened heart and a demon with everything to lose.
Isaac Rothe is a black ops soldier with a dark past and a grim future. The target of an assassin, he finds himself behind bars, his fate in the hands of his gorgeous public defender Grier Childe. His hot attraction to her can only lead to trouble-and that's before Jim Heron tells him his soul is in danger. Caught up in a wicked game with the demon who shadows Jim, Isaac must decide whether the soldier in him can believe that true love is the ultimate weapon against evil.
From Booklist
Fallen angel Jim Heron must help a former fellow special ops soldier in his second outing, following Covet (2009). Since going AWOL from XOps, Isaac Rothe has been a marked man. He earns his money as an underground fighter, until he nearly kills a man in the ring and is arrested by the police. The arrest draws the attention of his former commander, the sinister Matthias, as well as Heron, who is determined to save Isaac from both Matthias and a deadly demon who wants Isaacβs soul. Isaacβs court-appointed attorney, the beautiful Grier Childe, is equally resolute in her efforts to help Isaac, even going so far as to post his bail. Sparks fly between the unlikely duo, resulting in a night of passion that shakes Isaacβs determination to flee the charges. After Grier has a frightening encounter with Matthias, Isaac realizes he must protect her, even as Heron urges him to run. The newest in Wardβs Fallen Angels series offers a sumptuous mix of danger and romance. --Kristine Huntley
