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

My body is attacked with sweet aches and pains from the night before. The memories of lips, hands and endless moans flood my mind. In my sleepy state, I flip over to face a dreaming Julien. I wince as my thighs graze my sensitive bits. The soreness is a welcome pain. Kissing his forehead, I leave for the bathroom to wake up and emotionally prepare.


After splashing some water on my face, I take a breath to soak in the last few weeks with Julien. He has been the best boyfriend I could ever have. I don’t want to let him go. Last night, he not only told me he loved me, but he showed me. He took his time with me and worshiped my body.


I roll my eyes as my brain circles back around to the sex. It wasn’t just the physical attraction that made him different for me. It was how easily he could make me laugh. How he held me tightly when I cried, and how he’s seen me at my breaking point and instead of leaving, he chose to stay closer to me.
