[MATURE CONTENT]

Arella is an angel.
Well, she used to be an angel. A real, bona fide, halo-wearing, wing-flapping celestial being. That was until one tiny whoopsie where she unfortunately burns a pair of wings at a banquet happens.

Fine!
There was more than one tiny whoopsie.
Fast forward a few hours later, and Arella found herself booted from the pearly gates with nothing but her wings and an eviction notice.

Her family called it a "vacation." Ha! A vacation, in the human realm of all places!
One hundred years later, Arella calls it her new life. Turns out, living among humans isn’t half bad—especially when you can turn invisibly smug at their lack of ability to fly. Early retirement has never been so blissful. That is, until the heavens smack her face with a message: Arella’s back on duty. And her new job? Marry. The. Demon. King.

Wait, what?!

Marrying the Demon King isn’t exactly on Arella’s bucket list, especially when demons and angels have been sworn enemies for eons. But orders are orders. So, off she goes, wings drooping and attitude cranked to full sass, to meet her new husband—a devilishly handsome demon who seems unnervingly smitten with her. 
Not to mention the heat that surges within her the moment she lays her eyes on him. Cue in dinner dates, fiery arguments (literally), and a series of catastrophes involving Arella purposefully setting a demon's hair ablaze with her holy fire.

But as Arella settles into this bizarre celestial-demonic union, she uncovers a sinister plot that threatens not just her marriage but their entire reality. Turns out, angels and demons might have to join forces to stop a threat that neither side can handle alone. And Arella? She might just be the unexpected key to saving everyone.

Armed with nothing but her quick wit, trusty angelic powers, and a painfully doting husband who may or may not leave her love notes carved into rock when she is angry, Arella must navigate battles, betrayals, and the occasional marital spat to protect their world. After all, nothing says “happily ever after” like saving existence itself, .... right?
Right?
One fallen angel. One absolutely smitten demon king. And a whole lot of chaos.

FALLEN ANGEL: MARRIED TO THE DEMON KING

<p>"Unheard of does not mean impossible," Arella argued, sitting up straighter in the bath. The water rippled with her movement, and her wings shifted slightly in the water. She tried to keep her holy power steady to prevent the call from dropping.</p>

<p>"It means impossible, Arella. Our kind and their kind simply do not function the same way." Castiel's voice was low. Arella knew that tone he was using. It was the tone he used whenever she was being difficult. Although he could not see her, she pouted, "Stop pouting, Ella. Think about it logically. The bonds formed by demons help to strengthen and balance out their magic, to draw power from the bond and protect what they hold dear. Angels do not function the same. Our essence is holy, already balanced. Bonds simply aren't in our nature."</p>
