Cover Him With Darkness: A Romance

by Janine Ashbless

Overview

In rural Italy, a priest keeps a dark secret beneath his chapel — a prisoner. Only the elder holy man knows who this prisoner is and even the priest does not know how long he has been there — hundreds of years, perhaps, or even longer. His fear is that anyone in his parish would ever come in contact with his mysterious and unholy charge. But what happens is even worse than he could have imagined. His lovely young daughter, whose innocence and devotion to god he prizes over all else, trails her father into the cavern and catches a glimpse of the prisoner, a beautiful being like the most handsome of men and yet not. She looks in his eyes and sees pain and wisdom and eternity. Unable to keep away from this silent creature chained to an altar stone, she lives in fear that her father will catch her. One day he does and sends her off to America to be raised by her aunt in Boston. But she never forgets her silent love. Cover Him with Darkness is a thrilling story of an archangel banished from heaven and the human woman with whom he falls in love.

Editorial Reviews

08/04/2014
Ashbless’s thrilling opening to the Book of Watchers series introduces Milja Petak, the feisty daughter of a Montenegrin priest. Milja’s family has been charged with guarding an immortal evil bound in the cave under their rural mountain church. The last of her line, Milja has doubts about the justice of her family’s task—the prisoner is entirely too sexy to merit millennia of torturous imprisonment. Predictably, Milja releases the prisoner as soon as she can, only to discover that maybe he was a threat to humanity after all, and his propensity for seducing mortal women might have something to do with it. With no allies other than a suspiciously chaste yet fetching Irish tourist named Egan and enemies who range from her Aunt Vera to the archangel Uriel, Milja has to choose whether to betray the lover she risked everything to rescue, or go against the divine plan, while staying true to her own values—all while navigating a rocky romance with an appealing supernatural creature who feeds off her desire for him. This sharp and enticing novel will leave readers eager for the next in the series. (Nov.)
