A Sexy, Scottish Vampire
Connor is a handsome, 499-year-old vampire with a Scottish brogue and a penchant for wearing kilts. He's also sick of watching his friends fall in love. Life is starting to lose its meaning, and a dark past constantly haunts him. Connor and his fellow vampires have spent centuries chasing Casimir, the leader of the Malcontents, and the chase is practically the only thing driving Connor.
After arriving on the scene of a brutal slaughter by Casimir and his cohorts, Connor overhears an argument. Believing it to be two lingering Malcontents, Connor inches closer. It sounds like a woman has refused to kill humans! Connor rushes to her aid, only to find the beautiful woman seriously injured.
An Angel Banished from Heaven
Marielle was an Angel of Death with a rebellious streak. After one too many strikes, she finds herself stripped of her wings and banished from Heaven. She wakes up in a strange place in a human body. Thankfully, it seems that a man has been sent to protect her. After countless centuries among the heavenly host, Marielle finds herself alone in the world with nobody to trust but Connor.
Despite being as old as existence itself, everything is new to Marielle. She's never felt hunger or pain or pleasure the way she does as a human. Connor and his friends have to teach her the basics of eating and dressing, then they show her the joys of chocolate and manicures. But Marielle is developing strange feelings for Connor. She's falling in love with a vampire.
Demons and Hungry Vampires
Soon Marielle finds herself thrust into a world she never imagined. The Malcontents are killing like never before, and Marielle might be the only one who can stop them! With her powers slowly fading and a demon trying to drag her to Hell, Marielle is convinced that helping the vampires find Casimir is her only way back to Heaven.
Her situation only grows more complicated as her feelings for Connor get stronger. Marielle senses a great darkness and regret in his heart and hopes she can heal him before she goes home. But the more she tries to see into his past, the more she falls in love. As her chance to return to Heaven gets closer, Marielle is forced to wonder: Can she leave the man she loves?
Redemption for a Vampire
Connor believes that he is beyond redemption. He can't forgive himself for his past mistakes and can't bear to tell Marielle what he has done. To his surprise, he's falling in love with her. Connor knows that she'll leave him to go back to Heaven but doesn't want to ruin the time they have by telling her the truth.
As Connor and his friends ready for the final showdown against Casimir, Connor's only regret is that Marielle will go back to heaven. But he loves her so deeply that he's willing to give up anything for her happiness. Even his soul.
