Book Cover & Preview Text
When the impressively tall figure turned around to face her, K was stunned. She was completely taken aback by the incomparable, colossal greatness of the young man in front of her. He stood about ten inches above her head. The shine of his golden blond hair looked like sun’s rays had actually been stolen to make each of the long strands that cascaded down to rest just above his shoulders. The fierce blue of his eyes was intense against the full set of silky black eyelashes, which served to complement the impeccable symmetry of his face. The illusion was one of pure perfection. As if this were not overwhelming enough, K’s eyes were drawn to the sinfully attractive curve of his lips as he spoke to her with the softest, most addictive voice she had ever heard. “Aren’t you too young for suicide?” he asked.
A swirling sensation in her head reminded her to breathe again. An angel, she breathlessly acknowledged. Even though she had never seen one, her angel side allowed her to recognize the undeniable presence of an immortal being. The assurance came—stronger than any human reality she had ever experienced. It was even stronger than the physical sensation of putting her hand into a fire. The feeling, though foreign, was simply irrefutable.

About the Book
From all outward appearances, nineteen-year-old K looks like a typical California teenager. But inside, K knows she’s very different from her peers. The offspring of a mortal and angel, K has been told that there’s something special in store for her life and that one day she’ll be contacted by the appropriate entities.
While on a service trip to Africa, K becomes confused when she meets Kender, known to all the other volunteers as Dr. Grandchester, a beautiful but enigmatic man. K feels a strong connection with Kender and soon learns that their existence is at odds for he is not what she expected him to be.
Despite their enormous differences, K and Kender fall deeply in love with each other. Kender is faced with a difficult struggle: should he be with K and cave in to short-lived, pure love and joy followed by tremendous grief, or should he stay away and avoid those sentencing feelings altogether?
