WOUNDED ANGEL

BLURB:Book three in The Earth Angels
A descendant of the
Angel of Vengeance, Nate da Luca was gifted with an uncanny ability to find
things. It made his job as a detective a breeze—until he learned the hard way
that some things should remain hidden. After that, his powers vanished, along
with his belief in himself. Which is going to make tracking down Gabriella
Littlefield for his latest client a challenge.
Personal trainer Ella
Little paid a hefty price for her life—now all she wants is to live it in
peace. Then a sexy hulk of a man turns up in her gym, reigniting desires she
thought she'd left behind along with her real name and hair color.
Desires she can't deny
even after she discovers Nate's no stranger to her dark past.
Before he can convince
her the attraction is mutual, Nate's going to have to earn Ella's trust. But a
demon is playing for keeps in the world of humans, using Ella as bait, and the
last thing they have is time…

Excerpt:
No sooner had she plopped down on the side of the bed, a
light flared in the other section of the suite.“Oh no, you don’t. You don’t get to turn the lights out just when things are getting good.” Nate appeared, leaning against the partial wall separating the sleeping and living sections of the suite. Though it was just about the last thing she wanted to do, Ella glanced over her shoulder as he crossed his arms over that chest she ached to taste. She could have sworn the bastard had the gall to flex his pecs. “Eye candy?”
“Yeah. As in, all sugar and no substance.” There. Let him chew on that for a while.
He shrugged. The pecs danced again. “I’m cool with that. I like candy.”
“Good for you.” Still aflame with humiliation, embarrassment and a growing desire that wouldn’t shut up, Ella ignored the stifling bedclothes and instead lay down on top of the scratchy blanket with her back to him. “Good night.”
“What about that spectacular male glory you mentioned? I’m interested in hearing just how spectacular you think my male glory is.”
Oh, please. “Since you’ve made it abundantly clear the feeling isn’t mutual, you can speculate on that all by your lonesome and leave me the hell out of it. Now go to bed.”
“Bed, huh? Well, normally I’m not into pushy women, but for you I suppose I can make an exception.”
If she hadn’t been lying down already, she would have fallen over in shock when the rickety bed groaned in protest as he stretched out beside her. “What the hell are you—”
“Don’t blame me, you started this. I’d have to hand in my official Red-Blooded Guy membership card if I didn’t at least try to find a way to persuade you to finish it.”

Author
Bio: A competitive figure skater from the age of eight, Stacy Gail began
writing stories in between events to pass the time. By the age of fourteen, she
told her parents she was either going to be a figure skating coach who was also
a published romance writer, or a romance writer who was also a skating pro. Now
with a day job of playing on the ice with her students, and writing everything
from steampunk to cyberpunk, contemporary to paranormal at night, both dreams
have come true.
