The only thing standing between her and the fate I escaped is me. But I have no expertise in this; no knowledge but what she taught me.

Our lives were already going in different directions...I have to show her this mountain is the place she belongs.

In the past three weeks, I’ve gone from a boring adjunct college professor to seeing my own ghostly doppelgänger around every corner. I’m apparently a witch. Thanks, Universe.

Just as they’re about to bring the pain, I’m saved by an honest-to-God—yes, that God—angel. He smells nice. His voice is like spun gold. And when he holds me? I’m ashamed to admit…I swoon.

Every time I step on stage, I feel alive. But that doesn't compare to the way I feel when I'm with Evie. She's an angel, so f*cking innocent.

Then Mistress Dona shows up to give him a ride from the prison into his new life, and his resolve goes out the window.
