Unwrapping Treasure: A Granite Lake Romance Novella

He glances down and sees the grass change from lush green to brown, dry, and lifeless. Concern etches a groove at the corners of his previously humorous mouth. Now he’s starting to see how serious I am.
“Why are you taking this so far?” he asks.
“Why did you have to bring up marriage?”
“It’s not the worst thing in the world, is it? I want to be with you and you want to be with me.”
“And I can’t give myself to you. I’ve already told you. You have to take the seven months we’ve had and be happy with it, because there is no more. Goodbye, Rook.” I spin on my heel and run before he touches me, with his hands, or his thoughts, or his heart.

Death Lies Between Us
~ An Angel Falls Book 1 ~
Winner of the Readers’ Crown Award
for Best Paranormal Romance.
Saving the life of someone you love should not be the worst thing you have ever done, unless you’re an Angel of Death.
Frustrated with his position as an angel, Nathaniel Evans casts aside the rules of the afterlife and rescues nineteen-year-old Juliana Crowson from freezing to death. His inability to watch Juliana suffer causes a sequence of deadly accidents, and he soon becomes her constant protector.
In the mountains of Colorado, Nathaniel comforts Juliana as she struggles to understand her paranormal abilities while coping with her guitar-playing brother’s recently exposed secrets. When an ill-tempered Native American shaman teaches Juliana the difference between ghosts and place memories, she decides she wants nothing to do with the supernatural world. Too bad she doesn’t know that Nathaniel is part of it.
Will fate allow them to be together, or has Nathaniel made the biggest mistake of his afterlife?

As hidden motivations are exposed, secrets are revealed, and all well-meaning plans for their journey are cast away into the winds of time.
