Synopsis: Winged monsters have been seen in the skies, and a pestilence follows in their wake, threatening the very survival of mankind. Only the crew of the Blood Hunter knows where they come from, and only one man has the power to send them back—Thorne, a human/dragon hybrid in possession of mental powers beyond comprehension.Candace Decker doesn’t need anyone to look after her—she’s a badass werewolf more than capable of protecting herself and those she loves. All the same, she’s always been drawn to Thorne’s strength. In an uncertain world, he’s the one man who makes her feel safe. And what Candy wants, she usually gets.
But while Candy is tenacious, Thorne’s willpower has been honed over ten thousand years. He might want her, but the last thing he needs is an infatuation with a young, impetuous werewolf. Candy makes him lose control, and that could have disastrous consequences.
As the threat escalates and they become separated by time and space, Candy must find a way back to him, because while Thorne alone has the power to defeat the dragons, only together can they finally bring peace to the universe.
Excerpt
At
last she caught something in his expression.
Lust.
“You
owe me a kiss,” she said, and the lust was gone in a flash, replaced by…panic?
Without
giving herself time to back down—or Thorne the chance to run away— she rested
her hand flat against his chest so his heartbeat thudded beneath her palm.
A step
closer and they were almost touching along the lengths of their bodies. A
shiver of anticipation ran through her, tingling across her skin, settling in
her belly. She swallowed, and her eyes flicked around the room. She’d almost
forgotten the other people present. Now she caught Rico’s gaze, and he lifted
one eyebrow, his mouth curling into an amused smile. Tannis stood beside
him, her boot tapping on the floor.
They
probably thought she wouldn’t do this. Or Thorne would stop her. But Thorne was
standing completely still, not even a tremor to his wing tips, as though he was
keeping everything screwed down really tight.
And
she was going to do this.
She
took a deep breath, ran her hand up across his chest, over his shoulder, and
around the back of his neck, digging her fingers into his short, silky hair.
For a second he remained completely stiff, and then something seemed to snap
inside him. His arms, which had been hanging by his side, wrapped around her.
One slid up her back to burrow in her long hair. He gripped it tight and tugged
her head back.
As she
caught a last glimpse of his eyes, a brief flash of fear flickered through her
mind. Power whirled in their depths. How had she ever had the nerve to bait
this man?
But
then his mouth was on hers and all rational thought was shoved from her mind.
He
wasn’t gentle.
And
she’d always expected him to be gentle, but this was a harsh, fierce kiss, as
though he couldn’t help himself, and she loved it. Her mouth opened beneath his
and his tongue thrust inside. He tasted of spice, hot and sweet, as he stroked
her tongue. She held him to her and pushed her own tongue into his mouth, along
the rough edge of his teeth, the roof of his mouth.
The
world was spiraling out of control.
Literally.
Something
loud and bright flashed close by and her eyes opened.
Thorne
stopped moving. She tried to urge him on. She wanted more. If this was the only
kiss she got—
Another
flash and she shook her head and glanced to the side. Tannis stood, legs braced
apart, laser pistol raised to the ceiling. And the ship was spinning.
Thorne
pushed her gently away, and she didn’t hold him. What was going on? She stepped
back and watched as his eyes closed and he visibly regained control. And the
world stopped whirling.
He
opened his eyes and they were back to normal, his expression once
again blank.
“Well,
that was interesting,” Tannis said. “Maybe we’d better lock her back in the
brig while you’re onboard.”
Thorne
blinked, shook his head. “That won’t be necessary.”
“Really?
That was just a kiss. What happens if she actually gets inside your pants? I’m
guessing we might all spontaneously combust. And that’s not happening under my
command.”
