Stalked by evil… Psychic Rori Austin’s life is over. She just doesn’t know it yet. Plagued by recurring nightmares and terrifying fugues, she’s hanging on by a thread. When she blacks out and wakes up in 1969, she knows she’s out of control. Broke and alone in the city that never sleeps, she’s desperate to find someone who can hold back the darkness in her mind. When gorgeous Declan shows up out of nowhere, she’s thrilled until he starts asking questions she has no intention of answering.
Haunted by guilt… Primani Declan Manning is a ruthless killer and a renowned healer. Demons fear him. Humans love him. Life is good. The last thing he needs is a human woman. After saving Rori’s life, he walks away but can’t forget the fear in her exotic eyes. They haunt him, dredging up memories better left buried deep. Intrigued by her secrets, he uncovers the horrifying truth. She’s been marked for Hell, and her time is up. He’ll risk his own immortality to save her soul…if they can find the demon in time.
“HEY,
YOU’RE AWAKE.” Moving slowly so he wouldn’t scare her, Dec
leaned into her field of vision from a chair next to the bed.
His
little mystery woman had been out for hours. Just now easing awake,
she was disoriented and groggy. Intending to comfort her, he wrapped
his fingers around her cold hand. Flinching like he’d shocked her,
she jerked her hand away with a gasp.
“Sorry,
sweetheart.”
Oops.
He needed to dial it back some. Their saol
did that to people if they didn’t rein it in before contact. She
scooted against the headboard, eyes wide with fear and confusion. As
they darted around the room, he got a good look at them. Cognac? No.
Bourbon. Definitely bourbon. Her eyes were the shade of top shelf
Kentucky bourbon. Tilted up at the corners, heavily lashed, with
thick black rings around her pupils, they were stunning. Cheetah
eyes. Beautiful and hypnotic. Exotic. He couldn’t look away. For
the first time ever, he was speechless.
His
eyes drifted over the rest of her face, taking in the pallor and dark
circles. She frowned, shielding herself with the sheet as if it would
protect her. Nothing could protect her from him. He could do anything
he wanted. But he wouldn’t. He didn’t have it in him. Her
vulnerability called to the warrior in him. He sensed her emotions as
easily as he read her expression. She was scared, confused, and
desperately trying to remember how she’d gotten here. He should say
something… anything. He had a pretty speech all planned out until
she opened her eyes and destroyed his ability to think.
Rori
watched the man’s eyes linger on her face and tried to force her
own expression to stay blank. Who was he? Where was she? When?
Her mind raced in a mad scramble for information. This was not good.
She wasn’t where she was supposed to be. How did she get here? This
hadn’t happened before. She always woke up where she fell asleep.
Glancing around the room, she searched for a clock or a calendar…
anything with a date on it.
Thanks for hosting! :)
