Blurb/Book Description:
Mia Starr is now a full agent working for Sector 13, a
secret division of the FBI, which monitors and controls all paranormal
activity. Her main objective: keep humans safe and the paranormal hidden. Fresh out of human training, Mia is looking
forward to learning all things paranormal and working with Cole, her deadly and
sexy vampire lover. Before she has a chance to settle into her new life, she’s
abducted. With her powers unfolding, an ancient enemy is revealed, and a
powerful lineage to rival all others.
Cole Barnett will stop at nothing to get Mia back.
Pushed to his breaking point when old ties surface, the vampire within him
claws at his restraint leaving him with one choice—let it rage! Cole leaves a
trail of blood and broken rules he’ll have to answer for in his wake to find
Mia. Once he does, he also uncovers a connection between them that could shift
the world of the undead. Now the one he covets is the one he needs to let
go—her survival depends on it. But his stubborn human has set out to prove him
wrong in a battle for love and her own life.
Sometimes you have to unleash the beast…
Excerpt:
John’s decision to come to the turnpike station first had Cole’s fangs edging out. “We should go to the scene, to confirm—” He couldn’t finish the thought. Without his blood inside Mia, he couldn’t be sure, and his entire body was conflicted with doubt. His jaw tightened, and the tip of his fangs poked at the inside of his lip. Removing his clip from his belt, he flicked his thumb underneath the first bullet and ejected it from the clip into his palm. He closed his eyes as the silver burned its shape into his flesh and eased the glow he felt creeping into his eyes. Taking a calming breath, he slid the bullet into his pocket and reattached the clip to his belt.
“Stay calm,” John
said, as they walked through the doors to the turnpike substation. Cole
responded in a low growl that put John on alert, making his jaw muscle tick.
A young man leaning
back in his chair with his feet propped on the table looked up from a set of
monitors. “Can I help you?”
“Do you get pictures
from the road cameras?” John asked.
“Naw, that’s illegal.
The whole “Big Brother” argument. We only monitor them. We get an alert from
the radar units on the other poles when a vehicle’s speed registers too low or
high and then we check the monitors for trouble.” He smacked his gum with an
open mouth chew and turned his attention to Cole as he walked behind the
counter. “Sir, you can’t come back here,” he said.
“Are these today’s
turnpike tickets?” Cole asked, his jaw set in a tight line.
“You can’t just come
back here…”
“Answer the question.”
“I-I’m going to have
to ask you to leave.” The young man stammered as he reached toward the phone.
Cole’s hand covered his, quickly replacing the phone in its cradle.
“We’re going to have a
problem if you don’t answer my question,” Cole said, filling in the space
between them. He leveled an assertive gaze at the man.
“Barnett. Back off,”
John commanded.
“You-you need some
type of warrant or authority to come back here.”
Cole ignored the man
and grabbed the tin box from the counter. Pulling out a stack of tickets, he
held them to his nose. With a frustrated growl, he threw the stack down and
grabbed more from the box. With each stack, he grew more agitated. Picking up
the fifth stack, he paused as a familiar scent reached his nose. He breathed
deeper and tore through the tickets to pull out the one with Mia’s aroma. It
was faint, but it was her scent.
“I need the license
plate and the photo of the driver this came from.” Cole held out the ticket to
man.
“I can’t do that. I
need permission and—”
“Now!”
“Sir, you don’t have
the authority…”
Cole snatched his
badge from his belt and slammed it on the table in front of the man. “How’s
this? No?” Arching a brow at the man’s hesitation his gun followed, slamming
down with the same force as the badge. “How about this?”
The man locked into
Cole’s deadly gaze. When his eyes widened, Cole knew it was from the glow that
had started to appear from behind his irises.
“Still not enough
authority for you? How about this!” Cole’s fangs jetted out like a switchblade.
“Holy shit! What kind
of cops are you?”
