Originally published in 2017 Praise for The Sweetest Burn “Frost scores another win with the mesmerizing second Broken Destiny supernatural contemporary. . . . The novel thrums with energy, its pacing breakneck from the very start, and piles on the sexual tension. Frost provides a much-needed inventive boost to the tired angel/demon subset of supernatural fantasy.” —Publishers Weekly
