Angels and Ashes
by Avelyn Paige

Blurb

Abandoned & Broken

Left alone to raise a family, widower Darcy Kyle’s life has spiraled out of control. When secrets about her husband’s past emerge, Darcy is forced to confront the fact her husband’s fatal accident may, in fact, have been deliberate. Forced to sell her soul to the Devil himself, Darcy must uncover the truth of her husband’s accident…before it’s too late.

Betrayed & Bitter

Cast into Hell, Raze has given his life as President of the Heaven’s Rejects MC, but what good is it when he can’t protect the people he cares about? His brother’s death, his wife’s betrayal… it’s too much for a mere mortal to handle. Luckily for Raze, he is the ruler of this Hell on Earth. But even the Devil has a weakness, and when Darcy Kyle sticks her nose in the club’s business he finds himself questioning his loyalty to his brother’s memory.

How can the Devil resist an angel bathed in the ashes of the fallen?

Heaven Scent by Avelyn Paige:
 
Bloody…broken…barely surviving…

Danae “Dani” Espinoza is on the run and desperate to escape the demons of her past. Plans to hide out in a sleepy Los Angeles suburb turn into a pipe dream as she is drawn into the secret filled world of the local motorcycle club. Dani soon learns that her secrets and lies are nothing compared to those kept behind the clubhouse doors. Trying to avoid the suspicious Vice President, she must keep a low profile in order to survive. The trouble is he has other ideas. 

Bike…babes…and booze…

Tyler "Hero" Tobias has simple needs. Being the Heaven's Rejects MC Vice President, he has all three at his disposal. But he has his own ghosts that keep him awake at night. When Dani arrives at the clubhouse, he knows he should stay away but there is something about her dark beauty and the mystery that surrounds her that makes him burn. There are secrets in her eyes and lies in her smile and he knows he should put his club first, but Hero’s heart and loyalty are about to be tested. 

Can an angel with blood-covered wings and the devil himself resist temptation or will they risk bringing hellfire down on everything that they love?






Excerpt

Cold. All I can feel is a deep chill blanketing my body. My eyes open to complete darkness as a voice calls to me. Its muffled tones send shivers down my spine with every garbled word. A sense of familiarity floats around me as its words become clearer.
Run, Dani,” it pleas from beyond the black veil shrouding the room. “Escape while you can,” it continues. Panic courses through my veins. Where in the hell am I? Why can’t I see anything? The pleas go unanswered as my voice fails to render sound.

Help!” I scream internally, “Please, fucking help me!”

The voice’s call fades with each word. “You need to get the hell out of here, Dani. You need to move. Find a wall and escape,” I coach to myself. A cold chill of air sweeps into the darkness encompassing me as I try to feel the place around me. My fingers plunge into a dense, sticky liquid as I crawl forward causing my body to slide with each movement. A hard surface is finally inching its way under my fingers.

Crawling upwards, I splay my hands against the cool wall. “You’re on your feet, Dani. The hardest part is over now. Time to find a door or a light switch, something to get us out of here,” my internal coach continues.

Keeping close to the wall, I finally find a switch. Flicking it upwards, the light shines brilliantly. As my eyes adjust to the light, my hands come into my vision. A scream barrels out of my throat when I see the sticky, red blood covering my hands and clothes. My heart races as I frantically wipe the blood away. Blood begins to pool at my feet, inching toward me. Rushing away from the blood, I fall backward into a solid, but warm obstacle. Before I can turn around, hands grasp my arms as a person’s hot breath trails down my neck.

Hello, Dani,” a different voice whispers in my ear. “Welcome to Hell. You’re mine now,” the voice crackles as my body is pulled into black oblivion.

About Avelyn Paige:
Avelyn Paige is a born and raised Indiana girl. She may be a Hoosier by birth, but she’s a Boilermaker by choice! Avelyn lives in rural Indiana with her pastor husband, 2 spoiled cats, and one very odd looking dog. She’s an oncology research scientist by day and a writer and book review blogger by night. She enjoys reading anything she can get her hands, baking, and spending time with her friends and family. 

Never intending to ever write her own book, the idea behind the Damaged series came to her on a drive to work early one morning thinking about her father who’d recently passed away. His strength during his cancer and rare blood disease battle inspired Avelyn to do something she’s never thought about before. She’s excited to see where this wild ride takes her. 






Interview With Avelyn Paige:
1. Can you tell us a little about your books?
My books range from badass bikers and sub-human super soldiers to bitter battles with cancer. You could say that I write a wide range of genres. One theme I try to put in all of my books is a strong female character. We as woman are powerful and power comes in many forms.


2. What inspires you to write?

For all of my books, real life inspires the stories I write. Damaged and Cassie’s Court came from my grief of losing my dad, which I will explain in another question. The Heaven’s Rejects Series came about from a trip to California and seeing a group of bikers riding into Disneyland. Amazing stories exist all around us.
 
3. When did you know you wanted to write a book?
Before I answer this, I need to let readers and fans know that this is your warning for a sobbing, ugly crying mess of a story. Kleenexes at the ready, ladies.
I started writing in March 2015 after spending the last six weeks caring for my father as he bravely lost his battle against cancer. It was hard sitting in the hospital knowing that the disease I have spent the last seven years trying to cure was going to take one of my own. Books were my escape as my father rested and after his passing, I couldn’t motivate myself to read or well, do much of anything really.
The very first day back to work after his funeral I was a crying mess in the car. During that 45 minutes’ drive, an idea popped into my head. That maybe my dad and my grandfather, who we lost the week before Dad was hospitalized for the first time, weren’t really gone. You see, my dad was a police officer and would spend many nights away from home. In my mind, Dad wasn’t gone at all, but he was out on an extended undercover operation. From that alternative way of thinking, my first book Damaged was born.
 
4. Do you work with an outline, or just write?
I do a little bit of both. Often times, I have a rough idea of what I want to transpire in my books, but the interconnecting pieces from those pre-determined plot lines often come from free writing and allowing my characters to lead the way.
 
5. For a reader who hasn't read your books yet, which book do you suggest they start with?
That kind of depends on what type of books the reader might be interested in. If you like dirty mouths and sexy alpha males, definitely start with the Heaven’s Rejects men. Like a little bit of urban fantasy, Damaged might be the book for you. But, you like ugly cries and sweet romances, Cassie’s Court might just trip your trigger.

6. Do you have a favorite food or drink you must have nearby when writing? 
That’s an easy one! A nice, cold Coca-Cola. It’s the nectar of the Gods, haha!
 
7. If you could spend 24 hours as a fictional character, who would you chose?
Hands down, Charley Davidson. She’s hilarious, a little bit mysterious and has the sultry son of Satan by her side, Reyes Alexander Farrow. That man… PHEW… makes me blush just thinking about him.
 
8. What are writing projects are you currently working on?
Right now, I am currently plotting out three separate books, but I will be diving into the writing cave to get started on a Heaven’s Rejects Novella, Sins of the Father, which will be a look back into Raze’s early years as club president.
