Doves and Demons (Taking Flight Book 1‪)‬

I loved him. At least I thought I loved him. But I was just a game to him. Nothing more. The day I gave him my hand in marriage, he gave me a look into the Hell that would be my future. A glimpse into the nightmare of what it meant to be his wife. My husband was the first to have my heart. The first to have my body. And, the first to make me wish I was dead. Thanks to Johnny Cruz, I will never allow myself to love again. Thanks to Johnny Cruz, I don't even have a heart left to try.

Charlotte Cole is a young woman trying to figure out how she ended up in the center of chaos and heartbreak. After some thinking, it's not hard to determine the starting point of all her pain...Love. She thought she knew the man she married. She thought she had life all planned out. But it only took her wedding night to realize she married the Devil himself and quickly learned what it was like to live and breathe in Hell.

When everything she worked so hard for starts falling down around her, it's her new neighbor that surprisingly picks up the pieces. Deklan O'Malley is something from another world. Tall and built like a god, his lopsided grin and warm, knowing eyes do little to expose the lethal Marine that lies within. He;s not only the most handsome man she's ever laid eyes on, but he makes her feel safe. Considering Charlie's life has suddenly turned into this very dangerous game, safety is a luxury she can't afford to take for granted.

It's a heart-wrenching story full of secrets, love and betrayal. Where good and evil collide and you're left to wonder if you can ever trust anyone again.
