Blurb/Synopsis: Fallen - the first book in the bestselling Guardian Trilogy...
Maggie is unaware of the terrifying fate that awaits her. It isn't until she lands in New Orleans for a full year at a private high school and her unknown enemies find her does she realize that her life is in danger.
As a mystifying stranger repeatedly intervenes and blocks the attempts on her life, she begins to learn that there is more to him than his need to protect her and that he may be the key to understanding why her enemies have just now arrived.
“I apologize for the delay, Abaddon.”
I turned my head to find Eran standing beside me, no more
than a few inches away.
Excitement swelled inside me, so powerful I couldn’t have
contained it if I’d wanted to. The nervousness now displayed on Abaddon’s face
gave me even stronger encouragement.
I wanted so desperately to reach out and wrap my arms around
Eran, wanted it more than anything in the world. My desperate yearning was only
being held back because I still couldn’t move.
I’m not sure Eran would have allowed it anyways. He was a
warrior, and he was now engaged in battle. Besides, I was nothing more to him
than someone to save.
Eran didn’t look my way but kept his focus on Abaddon, who
stepped back a few paces, his confidence faltering.
It was Sarai who strolled forward, self-assured, placing
herself in the middle.
As she strolled by Abaddon, she mused, “Don’t worry, I
believe I can handle this one.” Her face curled up into a hideous grin as she
continued her approach.
I knew then what she planned…but it was too late.
“Eran, so good to see you again…” she whispered in a low
drawl.
“No!” I screamed
enraged, waiting for Eran to fall to the ground, whimpering with desperation as
Rufus had done.
Eran remained standing.
A moment passed and Sarai’s face contorted, confusion
setting in. Her state of shock became more defined, deepening further when he
finally replied.
“You don’t work on me, Sarai…” I watched in disbelief as his
gorgeous smirk, the one I missed so deeply, rose up. Eran turned and his
stunning eyes settled on me, concentrating so intently I could not have
mistaken his message. “I’m already in love.”
The world changed for me at that moment. As Eran’s
confession hung in the air, I felt the passion and the power in me swell.
Nothing was impossible now.
Sarai’s mouth fell open, a shaken sigh escaping. She then
looked at me, her eyes narrowing in fury as Eran’s words sunk in.
Eran flippantly disregarded her, turning to address Abaddon.
“You are outnumbered. You are overpowered. You have allowed yourself to be
cornered. Shoddy work, Abaddon.”
As I watched their interaction, it dawned on me that Eran
was enjoying this moment and that it appeared to have been long overdue. I felt
a smile on my lips, nearly causing me to giggle.
It was then Abaddon released me. I fell to the ground, hitting
it hard but overwhelmed with relief. I glanced up, wondering what power Eran
had over Abaddon to give up his hold on me.
In an instant, I realized what had happened.
Abaddon had let me go willingly. He needed his energy – all
of it – for another reason…
Leaning forward, Abaddon’s arms extended, his feet sweeping
up from the ground, as he lunged for Eran.
Places to find Laury
Happy Ranting and Raving !!!
