dark mage light novel Audiobooks

He's a killer... Through the ages, deadly Guardian Týr watches over the mortal realm with a sword that is as blood-drenched as his soul in his quest for vengeance--his sarcasm a shield for the deepening hell inside him. Until one glimpse of a breathtaking, carefree female stops him dead in his tracks...but she's the one person he can never have. Still, she has to be the most exasperating female on the planet, with a tendency to land herself in sticky situations. She's happiness incarnate... Bumping shoulders with intractable immortals is not Kira Smith's idea of fun. An unfortunate encounter with a certain annoying, über hot warrior undoes all her hard work, and the homeless boy she rescued escapes back into the demon-infested alleys. Kira's determined to find the child, even if it means tolerating the arrogant, know-it-all as a bodyguard. For her, he'll break every rule... Thrown together in this treacherous hunt, long suppressed emotions unravel. Týr will do anything to claim the woman who stirs his deepest desire and Kira longs to succumb to the happiness she finds in him. But Fate isn't always kind, revealing a dark destiny that could very well tear them apart... . Author's note: This book is set directly after the novella: For You, I Will #3.5 in the Fallen Guardians' series. And can be read as a standalone. But to give you further insight into the lives of the Guardians, and for better reading enjoyment, it is best if you fully immerse yourself in the Fallen Guardians' World first. No cliffhanger.

It’ll take more than his sweet words and hot kisses to win her back. Three years ago, Dalton McKay looked across the altar and locked eyes with the woman he knew he’d love for the rest of his life…only it wasn’t his bride standing next to him. So he fled from the ceremony, his family and Wyoming. Now a family crisis has brought Dalton back to his small hometown, giving him an opportunity to demonstrate to everyone—especially the woman he thought he lost—that he’s a changed man. Aurora “Rory” Wetzler has fallen for cowboy hottie Dalton’s smooth-talkin’ ways far too often. This time he claims he’s playing for keeps. Fine. She’ll call that bluff. She can’t ignore their intense chemistry or resist his smokin’ hot body, but she knows better than to gamble her heart with him again. Dalton has plenty of fences to mend with Rory, but his biggest fear is she doesn’t believe they have a future because of their tumultuous past. He’ll do whatever it takes to prove that he’s her one and only Romeo for a lifetime.
