Lisette dreams of a dark-haired man with soft eyes and brutal wounds, a man her heart aches for—and a man she knows has been declared a traitor.
For centuries, Lisette d'Alençon has been a warrior against the dark. She fights alongside her brothers and comrades. But when the dreams start coming, she can't bear to confess them to the Immortal Guardians' command. Dreams of a dark-haired man with soft eyes and brutal wounds, a man her heart aches for--and a man she knows has been declared a traitor.
Zach is an exile, a loner. He won't defend himself against false accusations or grovel to those who should have faith in him. But he'll damn sure defend the woman who kept him sane against a plague of super-vamps that seems to have appeared from nowhere. The Guardians will blame him, and that will make Lisette suspect, too. With life, death and eternity on the line, who can they really trust?
Excerpt
Lisette lowered her arms and slid them around his waist, intending to explore his broad, muscled back, and encountered satiny feathers.
She broke the kiss, surprised, and lowered her heels to the ground. She had forgotten for a moment. . . .
"Lisette?"
She glanced up.
The need in his golden eyes turned her insides to liquid fire.
"Is it . . . is it okay if I touch them?" she asked, unsure.
The beautiful wings disappeared.
"Touch me'" he pleaded.
And any barrier that struggled to hold her back crumbled. Giving him a small smile, she nodded. Touch him? She could do that.
Lisette slid her arms around his waist and flattened her palms on his back.
She had been so distracted by his wings in the past that she hadn’t noticed how ripped he was. Rising onto her toes, she brushed her lips against his. He responded hungrily as she explored his warm flesh with her fingers.
She had always appreciated strength. And Zach had it in spades. All muscle and sinew.
"You taste even better than I imagined," he murmured, sending a warm spiral of pleasure darting through her.
"So do you." And felt magnificent, too. Unable to resist, she drew her hands down and cupped his tight, leather- clad ass.
