BLURB
He traded my death for love. I wasn’t given a choice. His decision has caught up with us, so now I am a living, breathing catalyst to war between Heaven and Hell.
The violations he committed saved my life. Since the collision, he’s appeared everywhere. In my hospital room, my school, even my house. He shows up in my paintings, my drawings, in all of my art projects. I can’t stop thinking about him.
He says his name is Gabriel, and he doesn’t understand what’s happening to him. He doesn’t know how I can see him or why he loves me in ways that should be impossible for a Celestial.
My obsession grows. I want him to hold me, kiss me—give all of himself. For every day he protects me, the consequences loom darker and taller. Soon, they’ll crash down on us. Yes, the war is about to begin.

EXCERPT:
"Why was she so upset with you,
Gabriel?” I asked.
“I can’t read her mind.”
“Oh right, how silly of me.” I
rolled my eyes. His thoughts were somewhere else, so my sarcasm didn’t register
with him.
“I’ve never had to cloak myself
before.”
“Oh, with your other humans, you
mean?” My voice came out strange.
Gabriel turned fully and looked at
me. His eyebrows lifted. “Right…”
“How many others have you had?”
“I don’t know, thousands.”
Holy. Crap.
I leaned my forehead against the
window, trying to hide the flare of jealousy.
“Gaia.” A gentle hand reached around
and pulled me back toward him. I couldn’t meet his stare.
“They were humans that lived before
you.”
“Girls?” Why did I sound sulky? Oh,
right, because I was a terrible actress. Gabriel’s quiet laughter drizzled over
me. “Babies. Some growing into women and others into men. Many never grew up.”
“Did they see you?” Did you kiss
them?
Gabriel didn’t reply at first. Then
the back of his hand traced my cheekbone down to my mouth.
“No, I didn’t.”
My breath hitched. I must have heard
wrong. His eyes focused on my lips, and my gut clenched.
He let go of me too fast. An arm hid
his expression as he fell back into his seat. I leaned over, my palm molding to
his face. I needed him close.
When it slid down his neck, a
muffled groan slipped from him. “Please don’t touch me, Gaia.”
“You started it.”
“I know—I won’t. We have to stop
this.”
“Crap! You’re not making any
sense—you know that? This is bullshit!”
Gabriel pushed his seat up and faced
me, his irises shimmering like water. “Gaia. I don’t know why the archangels
haven’t come for me, but humans and angels—” He cut himself off, then
continued. “I screwed up. Since I’m still with you, they must have given me
another chance.”
And just like that, I transformed
into pure instinct all over again and jumped into his lap. Clearly I could not
be trusted near this—this…angel.
The steering wheel jabbed into my
back, but I barely noticed. The pain was just another reason to get closer,
much closer to him. My fingers slid into his hair, tangling with it. I tugged
him to me and pressed my mouth against his.
Gabriel reacted immediately. He
crushed me so tight that my breath wheezed out. The seat lowered underneath
him, and he pulled me with him, devouring my mouth.
“We can’t be together?” I panted.
“No, we can’t.”
“Never?” Desperate, my tongue found
his. He shook his head against my mouth. My stomach burned with need.
One at a time, I forced the words
out in clipped gasps. “I can’t ever touch you again?” Gabriel groaned. I could feel
him under me. So male, so alive.
“No.”
I want him so much it hurts!
Gabriel’s eyes opened beneath me. He
rocked me closer, and I moaned.
“Will you be visible to me?”
“Sometimes.” The tiny suckling
noises as he feasted on my lips sent fire straight to my womb.
“Please, promise me you’ll be
visible always.”
His hands moved up to my face and
held me out from him. The kiss he gave me was too light on my lips, and I
shuddered.
“No, not always. But I promise that
you will see me every day.”
I absorbed the kisses, lucid enough
to know they were the last ones I would ever receive from Gabriel.

Originally from Norway, I moved to the United States twelve years ago.
The first awesome five years I spent in the San Fernando Valley, Los Angeles, before moving to the beautiful city of Savannah, Georgia.
I'm currently on my seventh year in the South, where my husband, son, and I are enjoying the heat, the humidity, as well as our crazy menagerie of animals better known as the petting zoo. The only one not here is my daughter, who returned to Norway for college.
I hold a Master's degree in languages, and for ten years, I taught at university level, before settling in as graduate adviser at the Savannah College of Art and Design.
Writing is my passion, my joy, and my addiction. Shattering Halos is my debut novel. When I'm not writing, I read. A lot. :)
