by Ravyn Wilde
A Creatures of Myth novel
Vampire Sentinel, Marie Antoinette, has seen it all. Lived it all. Now happy with her life, she has certainly earned the shadows in her eyes. She spends her nights alone, protecting humans and immortals, until an unidentified evil drives her to find help.
Responding to her call, an old, human friend introduces her to his son, Justin. The attraction between the two is immediate. But, Maria doesn't care if he recently retired from the Special Forces, this isn't the time to trust someone who doesn't know ANYTHING about the paranormal community.
Justin’s life hasn’t been easy, and he is not interested in any type of relationship. His last assignment with a counter terrorist unit, took all the joy out of his life. His father has the perfect solution—introduce him to the only person he knows with that same faraway look in her eyes.
Justin has been forced into a world he didn’t realize existed, and discovers an unwanted and deadly attraction to a MUCH older woman. His inexperience with this new reality is liable to get him killed, or worse!
Throw in an old boyfriend with a chip on his shoulder, a legendary monster they can’t kill, and a few rogue werewolves and…well…life is about to get very complicated.
Come play with the Creatures of Myth, and fall in love with something just a little Wilde!
