"Tell me it meant nothing to you. Tell me I mean nothing to you. Look me in the face and tell me, but don't you dare lie to me."

His jaw is rigid as he looks down at me, his eyes stormy and so dark blue that they are nearly black. 

"If you meant nothing then this would be easier," he says. His hands are trembling, fisted in my shift and I press myself against him. "If you meant nothing," he says, his lips just above mine. "Then I would not have to walk away."

Ella Crow was going to be the next Alpha of her pack, instead turning out to be an outcast with no supernatural gift.

Christian St Clair is a royal vampire who seems unable to control his hunger for Ella. Everything around her seems to be one mystery after another and it's not a world that a country girl from a woodland pack knows how to travel. 

Is there love to be found on the brink of war?

The Children of the Moon

I’m not done with kissing by the time my Christian sits up. I open my mouth to protest and demand he come back, but instead he draws me into his lap where I can nestle against his chest and I do have to admit this is a fine place to watch the world from. It’s warm and safe and I’m pressed up against his chest. 


His long magic fingers run through my hair. He doesn’t seem to mind that it’s dusty and sweat-streaked from battle. He doesn’t seem to mind that I’m not the prettiest or the smartest but just the most Ella. 


I might even think that he prefers things like that. 


We watch the sun drop down lower and lower as shifters and vampires arrive bearing torches that blaze with moonlight. There’s so much to do out there. People are hurt and trapped. I can see Isabel moving part of a giant calcified tree while Chrissy helps Mitch pull people out from under it.
