Thousands of years
after the battle between the angels, when Lucifer was defeated by Michael in
the Heavens, the war is still being fought on Earth by the humans who have
their Power, the Angel’s Power.
Allison Stevens is a
21 year old single mother who gets thrown into the middle of this battle when
Damien, the Leader of the Rising, decides to hunt her down and kill her because
he fears she is the descendant prophesied to save the world.
David, a member of the
Order, takes Allison under his wing in order to show her the ropes, and
hopefully groom her into being the one they have been waiting for. The only
problem is that they start to grow more attached than a teacher/student
relationship should allow.
But that isn’t all.
Damien wants to open the Seven Seals and bring about the apocalypse and it’s up
to Allison to not only save herself and her family, but save the world, all
while trying to keep her heart from breaking.
No problem… right?
POWER is the first
book in a New Adult (Mature YA) Paranormal Romance Trilogy and is the debut
novel for author Theresa M Jones.

Part of Chapter 15
I stepped
outside into the fresh air. The sky was cloudless, and I could see all the
stars. I walked to the pond and thought about putting my feet inside. It was
summer, but we were high up in the mountains and the wind was chilly; so I
decided against taking my shoes off and dipping my feet in the cold water. I
snuggled my robe closer around me as I felt a small breeze. Being surrounded by
massively tall cliffs, one would rarely feel a breeze out here, but when you
did, boy was it cold. I sat leaning against a tree and looked out over the
pond.
I didn’t
hear him come up behind me, but I could sense him. I turned around as he
greeted me the same as he always did, “Good morning, Allison.”
I
chuckled, “I guess it is morning already.” He offered his hand and helped me
stand. I took it eagerly, and went straight into his arms. He didn’t pull away.
If anything, he held me closer. It
reminded me of the morning when I thought he would kiss me. After that morning
he had distanced himself. But over the last few days he had gotten back to
normal. He had even kissed my head and my cheek on a few occasions. Tonight I
wanted more, though I was a little afraid to risk it. What if he started acting
all weird again?
I
breathed in deeply, allowing his scent to fill my nose and my lungs. He nestled
his head into the crook of my neck and I could feel the scruff from his beard
scratch my cheek as he started to breathe deeply as well. I could feel his
breath tickle my neck and it sent shivers down my spine. It made me pull him closer
still. I could feel his muscles touching mine, and I could feel the heat
emanating from him, warming my skin through my clothes.
My heart
started beating faster, and I felt my face flush with anticipation. He pulled
away, just enough to look me in the eyes. I stared back into his, allowing him
access to my soul, hoping he could see how desperately I needed him. I didn’t
hold back at all.
Before I
could even react his lips were on mine. The heat that I had felt when he kissed
my cheek, was like a lit match compared to the forest fire I felt now. Every
inch of my body was deliciously ignited.
This kiss
started very slow. Tentative. Wary. Unsure.
But as my
lips parted, allowing him full access to me, things changed. He deepened the
kiss. His arms pulled me closer to him, wrapped around my back, and held me
firm.
He tasted
like heaven on earth. My arms were all over the place. On his face, on his
neck, then down to his back. I couldn’t get enough of him. I couldn’t touch him
enough, or smell him enough. Or… taste him enough.
This felt
right. Like the ultimate goodness. My body tried to inch closer, but it
appeared we couldn’t get any closer. His chest was warm and hard against mine,
and fit perfectly, as if we were two pieces to a puzzle.
