In
her last semester of college, Beth D’Angelo has one goal—to get her
thermodynamics experiment to work so she can graduate. But everything changes
when she nearly runs over a mysterious stranger with her car—a man whose
hauntingly handsome face fills her with an inexplicable sense of dread.
Suddenly, her failed experiment becomes the least of her worries. Strong,
alluring, and centuries-old, Thomas Callahan is a vampire whose powers are as
dangerous as his secrets. After Beth nearly runs him over, her sweet nature and
innate fear of him become an irresistible challenge—to corrupt her innocence.
As they spend more time together, Beth’s fear dissipates and becomes something
Thomas finds himself craving more than blood. Knowing it is only a matter of
time before she discovers what he truly is, and with two hunters on his trail
seeking vengeance, Thomas must decide if loving Beth is worth risking both
their lives.

Excerpt:
As she stood there,
looking up at Thomas, his magnificent appearance struck her again. A bit taller
than her five feet four inches, he was easily six feet tall. His dark hair was
on the long side of clean-cut, and the cold wind had made it just messy enough
to look incredibly sexy. His nose was straight and perfectly placed on his
strong, masculine face, and his eyes were a beautiful dark brown. Perhaps it
was his dark lashes and eyebrows, or perhaps something else, but Beth couldn’t
help feeling that there was something ominous behind those eyes. It was almost
as if his eyes held a warning, even while his mouth invited her to draw closer.
Before Beth realized she was staring at
Thomas’ mouth, his lips parted and he spoke again. “Well, I don’t mean to brag,
but damsels in distress are my specialty.”
Blinking free of her
trance, she shook her head. “Well, I’m not a damsel. In distress, I mean. I
don’t need your help.”
He pressed his lips
together and nodded slowly. “I understand. In that case, perhaps you can help
me instead.”
“Me help you? With
what?”
He smiled smugly
again. “I’m thirsty.” He paused, almost long enough to allow her to speak,
before continuing. “Come have a drink with me.”
She could feel her
eyes grow wide with shock even as she told herself to act casual.
“I’m not a big
drinker.” At least her voice sounded calm, even if her hands were fidgeting
inside her coat pockets.
“Coffee then?”
“I don’t drink
coffee after four o’clock. It would keep me awake all night.” She realized as
the words left her mouth how much like an old lady she sounded. Lin was
right—she may as well have told the guy that she had to get home to soak her
dentures.
Though her responses
should have completely put him off from pursuing any further interaction,
Thomas simply replied, “Then how about some chamomile tea? I’ve read that’ll
help calm your nerves and get you in the right mindset for bed.”
The way the man said
“bed” sent Beth’s heart racing, and she couldn’t help but wonder if the
innuendo was intentional.
“Maybe some other
time,” she managed to utter.
He took a step
closer to her, and her breath caught.
“I will remember you
said that.”
