Would you doom yourself to darkness if it meant saving the one you love? Ryver is the only telepath in living memory. Whether he wants to or not, he can hear the thoughts of everyone around him--their desires, their fears, and their darkest secrets. As a Vampire and Guardian of the Order, his skill is an asset. As a man, it's a burden he wishes he didn't have to carry. That is until he meets Ria. She's beautiful, shy...and human. More than that, she hears him. A chance meeting brings them together, but the truth could rip them apart. Ria isn't what she seems. As her heritage is revealed, can they find the light? If they do, it will enrage an old enemy and threaten everything they hold dear. If they don't, one of them will be lost forever. This is the first chapter of a new release.…

Lena, a vampire and a Guardian of the Order, has been honour-bound to protect human souls all her life. Acting first and thinking second is what's saved her skin time and again in the war against the Fallen, but her disregard for orders soon catches up with her when her boss is seriously injured because of her own, selfish mistake. Forced to take responsibility for her actions, and lead a team of Guardians who don't trust her, Lena is thrust back into the Vampire court and the path of her very own kryptonite; Thorn. The raw power of his soul calls to her and his mere presence lights a fire within her that she cannot contain. King Thorn of House Blackwood has never been that close to Lena. Now, circumstances dictate that they must work together and Thorn realises that a beautiful and alluring woman lies behind her warrior facade. Has he seen her without really seeing her? As the chances of finding a missing youngling go from unlikely to nigh-on impossible, Thorn feels himself drawn to Lena in a way he never expected. She awakens a need within him so deep, so shocking, so shameful, that he can hardly function. He wants her body. He needs her soul.With Vampire magic waning and the race in crisis, can either of them afford to ignore Nature's call? If they do, the future of the race is in jeopardy. If they don't, they will both lose the most precious part of themselves. Their souls.This is intended as a teaser for a forthcoming book.
