About this ebook

From the author of From Blood and Ash, this sizzling prequel novella to the Dark Elements series draws readers into the irresistable world of Wardens and demons...

Dez wasn't just Jasmine's crush. A gargoyle Warden like Jas, he helped her come to terms with her destiny—fending off demons and maintaining the balance between good and evil. He was her everything…right until the moment he disappeared without a trace. It didn't help that Jas's father had just announced that she and Dez would one day be mated. Hard not to take that personally.

And now he's back, three years older, ten times hotter, ready to pick up exactly where they left off. But Jas isn't taking that risk again. Dez has seven days to meet all her conditions and earn back her trust. Seven days filled with terrifying danger and sweet temptation. Seven days to win her heart—or shatter it all over again…

“With her signature flare for combining humor, romance and action, Armentrout weaves a fast-paced read that will have readers’ hearts racing in more ways than one. Like Armentrout’s previous heroines, Jasmine is fun and full of attitude, while Dez is as snarky as he is sexy. This is a must read for new and old fans alike!” —RT Book Reviews

Ratings and reviews

I've become a big fan of this author and I was really looking forward to this book series. The story line has so much potential but when I finished it, I felt empty. Like she skipped over the story and it was over. I'm loving the first chapter if Layla's story I'm looking forward to this book. I hope the rest of the story is as exciting as the first chapter.

Great novella, super fast paced! I wanted more at the end! Excited to read White Hot Kiss!

Great book very compelling story, hard to put down! Finished it in a few hours. Author combines romance,passion,mystery,and lust all in one book!cx I hope there's a next one!!!
