Immortal Desires
by Shannon Leigh

The Maiden of Innocence
The air was shockingly crisp, and a soft breeze gently whispered through the deserted alley on the morning of Elizabeth Debonaie's immortal birth. Levelheaded and sensible, Elizabeth felt she could handle any situation dealt forth by fate with adequate grace and adept skill. That was, until she came face to face with the tall, dark figure of a man whose striking profile spoke of overwhelming power and ageless strength. Unable to resist his devastating appearance and mysteriously dark aura, she realized too late that the man before her was not human, but the archangel of death. The Missionary of Death
Cursed and hated by all mankind for his unholy existence, Adrien had long ago resigned himself to living his immortality in bitter seclusion and lonely isolation. But as his sharp and assessing gaze drank in the beautiful visage of the girl who unknowingly passed mere inches in front of his shrouded figure, he felt the flicker of a mortal emotion deep within him. Suddenly plagued by feelings he'd thought long dead, he knew this creature before him was his destiny. Vowing to make her his own, he laid claim to her essence, body, and immortal soul.
