Summer: It’s been a long time since I took a vacation, since I took time for myself. It’s nice to exercise on my schedule, to lay in the sun, to read a good book, to drink my favorite margaritas … and not think about … him. I didn’t expect to like this little town so much. And I certainly didn’t expect to tumble head first into a delicious man in a bookstore who turned out to be more than I bargained for. I’m drawn to him. I like him. But can I trust him? Malicious: I am immortal, powerful, and bored. A dangerous combination. But something is going on in this small human town, something that’s breaking through my disinterest. For the first time in a long time, I feel alive, almost excited. What I didn’t expect was to collide with an adorable human with a smile that captures my heart and a soul that calls to mine. My mate. But can I protect her from the being even monsters fear?
