Synopsis (Goodreads):
Kaye Brand is outcast from magekind, selling her magic to the highest bidder. She lives in wealth, conjuring faefire for humans to glimpse their future in her flames. But she's spending herself as fast as she spends money. Her power is precious in an uncertain world, and avaricious forces will do anything to control it...Thoughts on Fire Kissed: We're back in a world where Shadow is starting to spread over everything and danger is lurking around every corner. Practically. This time around we have an outcast mage and an angel who's not nearly as uptight as some of the other angels. Actually, it might be more like Jack is just...tired? Maybe? He's seen a lot in his long centuries and he now he sees war against the mages as inevitable. As it turns out, Kaye might be the only way the Order can gain an edge on the mages and he's planning on using her to do just that.
Jack Bastian is a soldier of the Angelic Order. Centuries old, he knows the violent chaos that magekind can wreck upon humankind—he has beat it back with sword and shining purpose many times before. With the new rise of Shadow, those with magic in their blood grow strong and bold once again, the ancient Houses coming together to plot a dark takeover.
He has no choice but to hire Kaye—with her blazing beauty and undeniable gifts—to infiltrate magekind and discover their secret plans. And it seems she'll do anything for a price.
But Kaye isn't going back for money. It's time to confront her fear, even if it takes the form of the most ruthless and powerful mage there is—Ferrol Grey. As a teen, she was betrothed to him but chose to run away. To save herself while others perished. As a woman in full possession of her power, she'll face him once again, steal his secrets, and make things right…even if she must cooperate with an infuriating and beautiful angel to do it.
War is inevitable between the defenders of the Order and magekind. For Jack, mage-born Kaye is off limits, no matter how scorching the impossible attraction between them. And yet, in the coming darkness, beset by danger and desire, everything is about to change...
HA. Yeah. Kaye isn't great at letting people use her. She survived something that would have killed most anyone else and it shaped her in ways Jack and the rest of the Order don't understand. Well, Jack comes to understand it, but only after he sees the side of Kaye she usually keeps hidden from everyone.
Let's just say these two are complicated even after they figure out what they mean to one another and leave it at that. No wait. I can't leave it. These two...they have steam and sparks and all those other things, but they're in a precarious position and circumstances force them both to make difficult choices.
MEANWHILE...more and more Shadow is leaking into the world, Kaye and Jack uncover how more wraiths are being made even though the source has been cut off, things are chaotic and tense all over, and someone has to figure out how to make everything work as the world is crumbling around them. There's a lot going on and YESSSSS. So good.
