Synopsis:
The new release edition features a brand new cover, additional chapters and a never-before-seen preview of Jaded Touch.
A woman's memory returns when she falls in love with the monster who took it from her.
Calli tattoos her skin to fill the holes in her memory, thanks to an accident that left her mind damaged and empty. But a nasty encounter with a fired employee leaves her in the arms of her unlikely savior: Nycholas, a predatory, serpentine Vesper on the run from his brutal master.
Nycholas’ clandestine world holds the secrets to mankind’s origin and survival… but he only wants one thing before his time is up: a few colorful nights with Calli, the fragile, tattooed, human woman he pursued and saved.
The more Calli learns about Nycholas, the more her own darkened memories return to her. Despite her haunted past, she loses herself to passion and desire with her immortal captor.
Now, Calli must overcome the demons of her past, or allow Nycholas to kiss her memories away and spare her the trauma of loving a doomed immortal. But each choice comes with dire consequences – some that endanger not only herself, but her family as well.
Excerpt
I didn’t know what to say. Despite what he
wouldn’t tell me, what he did tell me rocked my heart. I ached for him. His
master killed the woman he accidentally turned into a Vesper when he got
carried away during sex. Nycholas wanted to know the kind touch of a woman
again, the healing of his pain for a love lost so long ago, and he wanted it
from me. He picked me.
And I picked him. The danger of him losing
control… of biting me… it wasn’t enough to quell the lust low in my belly,
burning as I squirmed beneath his glare.
So I closed that final inch of space
between us and wrapped my lips around his lower lip, tasting him, tugging
lightly, respecting the reservation of his tightly-closed mouth and the danger
he posed to me. I kissed him, though he couldn’t safely kiss me back, over and
over again.
When I pulled away to gauge his reaction,
to see if he liked it… there was a hunger brewing in Nycholas’ eyes that I
didn’t expect.
He slowly sat up, bringing me with him, and
reached beneath my armpits to lift me into his lap. I slipped my legs on either
side of his waist, and… oh, yes, that’s what I thought it was… his arousal
pressed against me through the scant barrier of his flannel and my panties.
I wrapped my arms around his thick neck,
the cords of his hair rough against my forearms, and then Nycholas’ hands
grabbed onto my back and he spun me down to the mattress, rested his weight
against my pelvis, and oh, it felt so unbelievably cold and good.
His mouth found my throat, and I thought it
must have been instinct that led him there, because he inhaled sharply and then
growled against me, pressing harder between my legs. His lips pinched my skin
as he kissed me, and he stroked his fangs upward along my skin – not biting,
just sliding the cool ivory of the rounded fronts against my flesh. It was as
though he wanted to sink his teeth into me and taste me, but he didn’t do it…
he just licked me and washed that ice-cold breath down my neck with every heave
of his enormous chest over me. I shivered and reached down to shed the last
bits of our clothing, and as his hands pinned me down by the hips, I was his.
