Lia is here to give you a closer look at Jagger from Death’s
Storm.
Jagger is everything I love in a romance hero. He’s a death
demon, so the dark, bad boy edge is there. He’s also loyal to those he love and
he’s compassionate under the alpha male stubbornness.
So why is he so loyal to the magickin
and determined to help the Divinities win the war against demons?
One, Khan (the evil big bad) ordered Jagger’s village to be
destroyed. His whole family except for his half brother, Lex, was killed in
cold blood. Vengeance runs deep in his veins. Two, Hecate took him and Lex in,
trained them in the craft of magic and shown him patience, which was no easy
task. The goddess also showed him love.
Through his bond to Hecate, he has unlimited powers. However, his
discipline taught him to only use the power as a last resort. Plus he is a
descendant of the Fates. His actions will affect more than just his intended
target.
When he meets his mate, the strong willed and equally stubborn
Khloe, his patience is tested as the need to protect her from the enemy and
herself rises.

Title: Death’s Storm, The
Divinities, book 2
Author: Lia Davis
Publisher: Fated Desires Publishing
Length: 42,000 words
Genre: Paranormal Romance
Blurb:
Technical genius and
demi-goddess--aka Divinity--Khloe Bradenton relies on no one for help, and she
definitely doesn’t need comfort from anyone other than her twin. After her
parents died by the demons’ hands over two years ago, she has graciously
stepped up to her place in the war between demons and witches. When a creature
far more dangerous than the ones responsible for killing her parents claims he
is her guardian, she is torn between her desires for the dark predator and the
painful loss she has endured at the hands of her enemies.
One of the last death demons still
in existence, Jagger has pledged his life to the Goddess Hecate. Charged with
the guardianship over the Divinities, he is never to approach them, but to aid
them from a distance. When the firestorm, Khloe, sacrifices herself to save her
twin and best friend and becomes the prey, he has no choice but to reveal
himself to her. He is taken by surprise when the need to claim her as his own
emerges. A desire he has never felt before could be more dangerous than the
demons out to destroy them.
Here’s an excerpt from Death’s
Storm:
“What are you up to?”
Jagger groaned at the sound of his brother’s voice behind
him. He closed his eyes and drew in a deep breath. He so didn’t need to fight
with Lex right now.
“My job.” He turned and walked past him to the other side of
the study, where a set of drawers lined the opposite wall next to the
bookshelf.
“Your job…”
“Is to protect them,” Jagger said through clenched teeth as
he whirled around to stand nose to nose with him.
Lex smirked. “From a distance, brother.”
Jagger turned back to searching the contents of the draws.
“I had no choice.” He sighed and lowered his shoulders. He gave Lex the short
version of the attack on the Divinities and Khloe’s self-sacrifice to keep the
others safe. “I had to get her out there. I’d have no problem with taking on
the Regals, but with her powers muted, she’d be nothing but a distraction.”
A silver key appeared in front of his face. Jagger wrapped
his fingers around it, but Lex held onto the ring connected to it. “What are
you motives? And don’t think about brushing this off as an ‘I’m doing my job’
bit. I know you.” He paused, searching Jagger’s face, then smiled. “You like
the female.”
Figures. One of rare occasions Jagger saw any kind of
emotion on his brother’s face, and it was at his expense. Snatching the key out
of Lex’s hand, he turned to stroll toward the door. He stopped when his brother
asked, “What can I do to help?”
“Can you go keep a watch on the Divinity House?” he asked
over his shoulder. He saw Lex’s nod from the corner of his eye and said,
“Thanks.” He rushed out of the study and back upstairs where he’d left Khloe.
When he arrived at his bedroom door, he paused and listened.
It was quiet except for her heartbeat. By the rapid beats, he could tell she
was frustrated. Smiling, he twisted the knob and slowly pushed open the door.
She sat on the bed with her head bent, picking at the lock
on the cuff until he stepped inside the room and shut the door with a soft
click. Her head snapped up, her eyes a darker teal than they’d been when he’d
left her. Stunned, he stared as if seeing her for the first time. Her face was
clean of makeup, showing her natural beauty, but it was her hair that caught
his attention. Wet from the shower, it cascaded over her shoulders. The pink
streaks were gone. He shifted his eyes to her attire. She wore nothing but an
oversized bath towel wrapped around her small frame, tucked in between her
breast to hold it in place.
The only things that remained the same were her tiny nose
piercing and a small hoop piercing in her eyebrow.
“What?” she snapped.
