Guarded By Death by H.L. Swan

Scarlett Wells is enjoying the last summer in her small town off the coast of North Carolina before heading off to college. Beach days, endless nights, and making memories with her best friends are all she has in mind. Until she crosses paths with an intriguing man who instantly captures her attention. He’s mysterious, a little dangerous, and hell-bent on protecting her at all cost.

Pierce is an immortal who’s been torn between worlds for centuries. Too damaged for Heaven, too good for Hell. He’s damned to roam earth collecting the souls of the dead, while harboring the curse of the Angel of Death.

Everything changes on an unforgettable night in a crowded bar when Pierce is drawn to gather a soul far before it’s time, Scarlett’s. She’s being hunted by something unearthly, and his only mission is to shield her immense light from the horrific evil that’s targeting her.

In their fight between good and evil will they prevail, or perish?
