About this ebook

From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Darynda Jones comes a new story in her Charley Davidson series…

Guarding a precocious five-year-old who is half-human, half-god, and 100% destined to save the world is no easy feat.

Garrett Swopes was the ultimate skeptic until he met a certain hellion and her husband. They vanished after stopping a catastrophic event and left him, a mere mortal, in charge of protecting their gift to mankind. But when she disappears as well, he needs the help of another breed of hellion. One who can see past the veil of space and time. One who betrayed him.

She will get a truce in the deal, but she will never earn his forgiveness.

Marika Dubois’s son—a warrior in the coming war between heaven and hell—was foreseen long before his birth. But to create a child strong enough to endure the trials that lay ahead, she needed a descendant of powerful magics. She found that in Garrett Swopes and tricked him into fathering her son. A ploy he has never forgiven her for. But when he knocks on her door asking for her help, she sees the fierce attraction he tries to deny rise within him.

And Marika has to decide if she dares risk her heart a second time to help the only man she’s ever loved.

**Every 1001 Dark Nights novella is a standalone story. For new readers, it’s an introduction to an author’s world. And for fans, it’s a bonus book in the author’s series. We hope you'll enjoy each one as much as we do.**

Ratings and reviews

In order to get the full enjoyment from this book you really need to read the other preceding books, because basically spoiler alerts and also you'll be behind the eight ball before you begin. That being said this series is full of great characters, which you've been introduced to along the way, not to mention a most intriguing and absorbing story line filled with just about every emotional inducing scenario you can think of but fortunately not all at once, this book does not fall short on any of these facts. A most enjoyable, page turner book and I couldn't put it down until I'd finished it. The ending for this book was just euphoric, could have been I'd had way too much caffeine and not enough sleep but still awesome wrap, can't wait for the next book. The team is back and I couldn't be happier but what team hmmm you'll have to read to find out

Fantastic humour read - I highly recommend this bitesize escapism!
