Fidelity
This is an alternate cover edition for ASIN B00W4BS5R8
How far can a man go in the name of faith?
He was once the Angel of Fidelity. Worshiped by a mortal knight, Fidelity fell in love with him, and lost him. Heartbroken and believing he’d been abandoned, The angel fell from the Empyrean into the darkness of the Abyss. Now, he is Fydelis, the demon of Regret, and put to the task of collecting the soul of the knight he once loved; a man who no longer recognizes him for what he'd once been.
Father Gareth De'Aubyn is a man tormented by his past and ready to sell his future to save the souls of the people his army once threatened. He’s traded his armor for a cassock, and his sword for a hammer, working to help build a village for the refugees of war. When his church is attacked by unknown assassins, Gareth is mortally wounded, and with his dying breath, he calls to the Empyrean for help.
But his god does not answer.
Instead, a demon, terrible and beautiful, heeds his call, asking him to give up his soul for a chance to set everything right. Bargain made, Gareth relives that fateful day, but this time he has the power of a demon to fight off the attack.
They set out on a journey together, Gareth tasked not only with the surrender of his own soul, but those of twenty others who’ve tried to escape their fate. Yet each day brings a mystery that tests the barrier between good and evil, and changes everything that Gareth thought he knew about faith, love, and Fidelity.
Content warnings: Graphic violence, fantasy-based theosophical overtones, dub-con, rape, heavy on the dark at times, snarky banter, hot and sweet m/m sex.

About the author
Lia Black
12 books145 followersLia Black tends to do everything the hard way; beginning with being born backwards into the world and now raising a teenage daughter by herself in conservative Upstate NY. Her career choices are no less extreme, including occupations of fine artist, computer geek, firefighter, and mortician’s assistant— just to name a few.
A fellow Author describes Black's mind as "a glorious kaleidoscope of f*ckeduppery"; she loves the challenge of writing about people who probably have no business being together on the same planet, and who occasionally deal with questionable sanity/morality. It’s fun to glue broken things together and try to make something interesting and new.
--She especially loves broken boys who have lots of fascinating pieces.
Her characters often suffer through the worlds she creates for them, which leaves them a little cranky and sometimes less lovable than others in a romance genre. Yet Black swears that someday, "there will be comedy."
