Sharing a summer house with a hot-as-hell roommate should be a dream come true, right?
Not when it's Justin Banks, Amelia's former best friend and the only man she's ever loved…who now hates her.
When Amelia's grandmother died and left her half of her beach house on Aquidneck Island, there was a catch: the other half would go to the boy she helped raise. The same boy who turned into the teenager whose heart Amelia broke years ago. The same teenager who's now a man with a hard body and a hard-ass personality to match.
Amelia hasn't seen Justin in years, but neither one is willing to give up the house―which means they're living together, at least for the summer.
The worst part? Justin didn't come alone.
But there's a very thin line between love and hate. And beneath Justin's sharp edges, the boy she knew is still there, and so is their connection.
The problem is, now that Amelia can't have Justin, she's never wanted him more.
Brielle Atwater isn't sure of much, but she knows a few things:
Having black wings is not normal.
Selling her soul to the demons was a mistake.
Lincoln Grey is the biggest jerk she's ever met…but not falling in love with him might prove impossible.
When angels fell from the sky to war with the demons that ravaged Earth, their combined powers infected humanity. Now, the humans are assigned one of two fates, being either demon gifted or angel blessed.
After wings sprout from Brielle's back at her awakening ceremony, she's sure she's an angel blessed celestial. It's not until she sees black wings that she realizes something is terribly wrong.
Having sold her contract at a young age to save her father's life means she should be bound for Tainted Academy. That is, until a fallen angel unexpectedly fights for her to be accepted into Fallen Academy, the elite school for those that inhabit Angel City.
She's immediately matched with her impossibly handsome celestial teacher, Lincoln Grey. Laying eyes on him, her first thought is that her time at the academy might actually be fun, but this theory quickly fades when she and Lincoln clash on day one. To further prove her admission into Fallen Academy is cursed, the entire school is thrown into chaos when an Abrus demon reveals that he knows Brielle's secret. Now, above all else, Lincoln must fight to protect her.
