The Guardians Series

I had thought I had life all figured out. We lived. We suffered pain. We died. Death had never bothered me much. It was love that scared the hell out of me, because love made you weak, and in my line of work there was no room for that. My name’s Gianna Botticelli. I’m the daughter and only female employee of a Los Angeles mafia boss.  Today was supposed to be like any other day, and then Caleb walked into my life. He is sexy and mysterious and knows things he shouldn’t. I don’t like it at all, but I can’t help the way he makes me feel inside. There was something different about him. What was he? All I knew was that after meeting Caleb, things would never be the same, as he introduced me into his world, an unknown world where the battle of good versus evil rages on. Sacrifices would be made, hearts would break and lives would be taken. How far was I willing to take this journey, I kept asking myself? If I had to sacrifice myself to save everyone and everything, then the answer was easy. All the way.
