Chapter 1: Stranger

An innocent college girl. A dangerous underworld enforcer. A gritty port city drowning in blood.

For Stella, being a freshman and getting asked out by the richest, most popular boy at school is a dream come true. When her dream date suddenly turns into a nightmare, she runs into a mysterious young man who unwittingly rescues her from a destructive fate.

Only known as Trey, he belonged in the deepest shadows and bloodiest corners of her city, dispensing a brand of justice no law could reach. He was her own twisted guardian angel.

When a turf war finally comes to their door, would her love be enough to make him stay in the light, or would he disappear into the darkness forever?

Set in the unforgiving underworld of the Philippine Midwest, 'Angel' is a poignant romance on finding love even in the absence of light.

From the 2023 short romantic fiction collections, 'Always, Yours: Facets of Love' (March 2023) and 'Always Love' (April 2023) from Inky Sword Books. A full-length novel, 'Angel of Darkness,' will be released in May 2023.
