Experiencing these stories will induce a terror that will stay with you long after the final page is turned…

A human mate? No thanks.
Centurion watched his colleagues, one by one, drop out of the dating pool, choosing committed relationships with humans vs. bachelorhood.

When an artist’s exhibition lands him in front of a wide-eyed goddess named April, she captivates him in all the right ways. Fascinated and curious, he can’t get enough of her. There’s just one little problem:
She’s human.
April is drawn to the hunky angel but he’s a lot to handle. Not that it deters her. He’s unpredictable, incorrigible, and can’t promise forever. Only sporadic, limitless fun. Unfortunately for him, she’s after more than just his body – she also wants his heart, and if he’ll let her, she just might be the woman to steal it away.
