What force of nature is more dangerous than love? Desire.

Desire is just as potent as love but more deadly and the high is so addictive that most would say the consequences are worth it. Most except for Julian Doyle. He's guilty of both Love and Desire, and because of this recklessness, he has watched the world change for over a century.

Cion has lived her life with the knowledge that the world is not as it seems. Sprites, ghosts, and demons live among the masses, and she is one of the 'lucky' few to know it. 

Cion and Julien are two completely different supernatural beings. Will they be able to withstand the forces trying to keep them apart? 

***

To kiss him sober is out of my league. But somehow with all these excuses, I still close my eyes and brace for him. I want to feel the heat of his lips but feel nothing. His breath is on my ear as he mutters, "Your name is beautiful."

Poisoned By Desire

After my trip back home with Cionna and the run-in with Josey, I’m exhausted and have decided to take the day off from work to recoup. I thought about seeing my brother and parents again and the usual ache in my chest wasn’t as harsh. To them, it was a regular night, but to me, it had been one hundred long years.


I will never be able to thank Cionna for giving me the chance to see them again. If I knew a way for her to have the same experience, I would do it. A smile spread over my face as I thought of her. I felt my heart purr in response. Despite my efforts, she has become important to me. 


I worry about Josey hurting her though. She doesn’t like competition and now she has her eyes set on Cionna. My blood boils at the thought that she would come to harm because of Josey. I pause at my anger. Things have changed so much between me and Cionna in a few short weeks.
