Author: Cameo Renae
Genre: YA Paranormal Romance
Blurb: No one knows of Lucian’s long-held secret—a recently transformed Nephilim daughter. Unfortunately for the Gray house, Lilith believes Emma is the one responsible for killing her father, and her deep-rooted hatred has turned into an envious obsession.
Powerful, with wings as dark as night, revenge consumes Lilith’s every thought, only to be fueled by Lucifer’s lies. Her newly transformed gifts have raised the danger level. Her aim is to strip Emma from everyone she loves, and has Lucifer’s Fallen warriors to aid in her task.
Receiving help from Midway, Emma reconnects with friends of old and new, and hopes it will be enough to keep them all alive.
My family is what keeps my heart beating, and my world a happy place to be.
I was born in San Francisco, raised in Maui, Hawaii, and recently moved with my husband and children to Alaska.
I'm a daydreamer, a caffeine and peppermint addict. I love to laugh, love to read, and love to escape reality. One of my greatest joys is creating fantasy worlds filled with adventure and romance, and sharing it with others.
One day I hope to find my own magic wardrobe, and ride away on a magical unicorn. Until then...I'll keep writing!

Chapter 1
“Emma, wake up.” I blinked several times, trying to focus in the
darkness, only to find Kade’s distraught eyes hovering close by. “Another
nightmare?” he asked.
I nodded, wiping the beads of sweat from my brow and then cuddled
close to him, resting my head on his chest. The beating of his heart had a way
of calming my anxiety, soothing my every fear.
“Maybe you should talk to Alaine,” he whispered, pressing his lips
to the top of my head.
“I’ll talk to her in the morning,” I exhaled.
“You’re shaking.” His hands rubbed down my arms. “Was it about me?”
I could sense a hint of concern in his voice.
“No,” I breathed. “It was about Alaine this time.”
I tried to erase the visions of her scorched and blistered body
from my mind, but it was still there. In full color. Terrorizing me. The smell
of smoke was still lingering in my nose, and the heat of the flames still felt
warm on my skin.
I didn’t want to worry anyone with my troubles, but it was the
third time this week I’d woken Kade with these horrifying nightmares. Every
night it was a different loved one, and they were getting stronger as they
progressed.
What was most unnerving was the shadowy figure with onyx wings
present in every one. I could never make out the face but could sense its
twisted pleasure as it watched me suffer.
I’d had enough of watching my loved ones endure horrible and
painful deaths. Although they were nightmares, the pain was real and lingered
for days after. It was something I couldn’t just erase. These dreams ate at my
soul, keeping me tight in its cold, indifferent arms, holding on through my
waking hours.
I prayed they weren’t premonitions, and I prayed Kade wouldn’t be
in any future nightmares. I’d watched him suffer in real life, and it’d
shattered my entire being. Now that we were bonded, watching it happen again
would kill me.
I glanced over at the clock. It was four in the morning, but I
didn’t want to go back to sleep.
“Where are you going?” Kade asked as I slipped from the warmth of
his arms.
“To make some coffee and read the book Lia sent me.”
“You sure you don’t want to stay here with me?”
“You know I do, I just don’t want to go back to sleep.”
His hazel eyes swirled with desire. “I didn’t say we had to sleep.”
“Are you seducing me, Mr. Anders?”
A grin played on his lips as he pulled the covers down. “Maybe.”
“Well then,” I exhaled, jumping in next to him. “Coffee can wait.”
