Alyssa Morgan - Dark Surrender

Some sins are unforgiveable…

Every time the planets align Lucifer has a chance to break open the Gates of Hell. The only thing that stands in his way is the fallen angel warrior Kyriel. Banished to Earth, Kyriel must atone for his sins of pride, envy and lust. His entry back into heaven is dependent on him finding the Ring of Melchior—which is currently in possession of gorgeous Head Curator Dr Jillian Whitmore.

Jillian has always considered herself immune to the charms of even the most irresistible of men. Afraid of her own desires she has hidden in her family’s museum poring over ancient relics… until she met the inscrutable Mr Smith. She feels an invisible pull to this mysterious man, but he is on a quest to uncover a missing artifact, one she had in her possession until it was stolen.

Jillian and Kyriel must find the ring before the next planetary alignment or risk losing the world they call their own—as well as an illicit love they are just starting to discover…
