About this series
Fallen angel turned detective Xavier Knight hasn't taken a case in a month. He's too busy laying low to stay out of reach of the Equinox Agency, who want answers about his involvement in the incident that nearly ended the world and almost took the life of EA agent Desiree West. So when Rose McHugh, a makeup artist at Night Shade cosmetics, begs him to find her younger sister Lacy, who vanished without a trace the week before, Xavier refers her to the police.
It's his boss Raguel, the Archangel of Justice, who convinces Xavier that he needs to quit hiding and get back into action. Raguel even alludes that Rose's case could lead Xavier to info about the identity of the traitor archangel who got him kicked out of Heaven and tried to bring about the apocalypse.
But Xavier soon discovers Rose lied to him. She's not Lacy's sister; she's her mother. Rose is a former vampire companion who hasn't aged a day in fifty years. And things get even more complicated when Lacy's disappearance connects to the Equinox Agency's investigation into the murder of several vampire companions, putting Xavier at odds with Desiree West once again. Xavier, and his mage sidekick, David Granger, find themselves in a race against time to find Lacy before the Equinox Agency does. But is she a victim or the killer?

- Knight's Fall: Xavier Knight Series, #1
1
Xavier Knight used to be an angel. These days he's wingless, earthbound, and working as a detective in New Orleans—not a bad life as long as he steers clear of Lucifer's bounty hunters. The beignets remind him of heaven, and he's even made a friend. But just as he's getting the hang of the whole being a mortal thing, his old immortal life comes back to bite him in the ass. It was supposed to be a simple case—track down a stolen heirloom for a businessman with deep pockets. What Xavier finds instead is the real reason his wings got clipped. And it's not because of a love affair gone wrong as he'd thought. Not by a long shot. Try a conspiracy to destroy humanity reaching all the way to the pearly gates. Toss in his ex-lover, who's working for a secret government agency that thinks he's in on the coming apocalypse, and it's enough to give a guy a complex. To clear his name and maybe get his wings back, he has to save the world. Meaning Xavier needs to ditch the lone wolf act he's clung to like a safety blanket since falling to earth and ask for help. An apprentice mage on the run, a nosy storefront psychic, a vial of angel blood, and a surly cherub are hardly the stuff of legends. But they're all he's got.
