Montana Dreams
Kim Law
(The Wildes of Birch Bay #4)
Published by: Montlake Romance
Publication date: September 25th 2018
Genres: Adult, Contemporary, Romance

Sometimes dreams change…and sometimes it takes a dream reader to make it happen.When Jaden Wilde’s girlfriend turns down his marriage proposal just months before he receives his master’s in counseling, he’s convinced that it’s cold feet. Until he learns that her no came at the advice of a new age “dream reader.” But Arsula’s hardly the woo-woo hippie his scholarly mind imagined. She’s charming, smart, and uncannily perceptive. And before long, he’s drawn to her—despite his ongoing skepticism for how her practice works.Arsula’s intuitions led her to Birch Bay not to guide Jaden’s girlfriend—but to guide him to his best life possible. As the odd one out in an unsupportive family, Arsula can relate to the struggle to find one’s path, and she wants to see Jaden with the woman of his dreams. Although she’s cautious of being the rebound girl, what she’s starting to feel for him is too real to ignore.When Jaden’s own volatile family issues come to a head and his doubts are made resoundingly clear, Arsula worries she’s misread the signs. Maybe they’re all wrong for each other. Maybe he should be with his ex. She’s supported him, but if he can’t believe in her, how will they ever find out if they’re truly meant to be?

Goodreads / Amazon—EXCERPT:The ringing of a bell interrupted her thoughts, and when she realized it was coming from directly below the open door, she rose and crossed the room. Standing at the bottom of the stairs, with a light now shining in the stairwell, was Jaden, dressed in a pair of black slacks she hadn’t seen before—split at the knee to accommodate the cast—a white button-down shirt, and no expression on his face whatsoever. The bell kept ringing. “I take it you need something?” She rested her shoulder against the doorframe and shot him a sarcastic look. “I do.” “Is that so?” She highly doubted it. She made a show of angling her head in both directions as if checking to see that nothing looked out of place. “You don’t look to be in pain of any sort.” He rang the bell harder, but his lack of expression didn’t change.“Jaden,” she finally yelled out, and his hand quit moving. “I’m busy up here.” She thought about the website and had the idea to show it to him. Would that help him to see that she wasn’t just a flake? Did she really care what he thought about her?She did. And for some reason, the idea of showing it to him excited her. The bell started up again, before she could make up her mind to grab the laptop and take it down to him, and as the noise clanged louder, Jaden’s expression went from nonexistent to one of mulish intent. He clearly intended to keep ringing the blasted thing until she went down there. “Stop ringing that bell!” Though she hadn’t heard the noise in days, he’d rung it enough the first couple of weeks to make her regret ever giving it to him. And at the moment, she regretted forgetting to take it away. “Then come down here and see what I want,” he yelled back. “You don’t need anything!” The noise stopped so abruptly that she weaved in place, suddenly off balance. “But I do,” he told her, and this time his tone was sincere.

#NewRelease Kah Key Honeymoon by Ima Synner #GIVEAWAY

Kah Key HONEYMOON by Ima SynnerA Kah Key Club BookCover design by Becky McGrawGenre: Satirical Erotica meant for mature readers only.Length: Short Story (13k)Release Date: September 2018


Welcome to Kah Key, an exclusive, adults-only island resort located in the Florida Keys, where adults do adult things and the tongue in their cheeks might not be a tongue.
Shrieka and Ben D. Lotz are newlyweds who’ve been given an all-inclusive two week stay at the infamous Kah Key Resort for their honeymoon. They’re also kinksters and perpetually horny, but when Ben breaks his foot just days before the trip and finds himself restricted by a walking cast, can they have any fun? Dr. Peter Goesinya, the resort’s medic, seems to think that with a little creativity, they can, and will. Especially once he assigns his PA Fabio Lothario as their own personal “nurse” for their stay. These horndogs are about to have their libido put to the ultimate test by some of the best in the business. All they have to do is sit back, relax, survive a freak storm, and dodge an escaped cockatoo. Here’s to honeymooning!



AMAZON/KINDLE UNLIMITED
SNEAK PEEK:
“Hello, and welcome to Kah Key Resort. You must be the Lotzs. How was your flight?” As she spoke, her fingers clicked across an unseen keyboard below the counter. Her eyes darted to her computer every few seconds, but somehow she managed to keep the bulk of her attention on us.
For the next few minutes we made small talk as she processed our information and printed out this and that. When she was ready, she leaned forward, her ample bosom squishing against the counter, to slide our keys, a map of the island, and assorted bits including activities, reservation extensions, and a personal weather report for the length of our stay. 
I made note that the next two days showed possible thunderstorms in the forecast, and had decided we’d look into visiting the spa when a loud clap of thunder shook the building. 
“Ah, here she is. Mr. and Mrs. Lotz, this is Amanda Lickett, our guest relations coordinator. Any questions you have about activities on the island, she can answer,” explained Ms. Hornee. “Amanda, allow me to introduce Shrieka and Ben.”
A cute brunette stepped up behind us at the counter, and giggled as she extended her hand. “Hi, and welcome to Kah Key! You guys are going to have so much fun. How long do we get you for this visit?”
My husband was quick to reply with, “Two whole weeks. We’re looking forward to it.”
She noticed his leg then, and fell into a pattern of baby talk that almost made me gag. “Oh, my goodness, what’s happened to our wittle Benny?” 
Grinning, I bragged, “Oh, honey, there’s not a thing about my Benny that’s little.”
Her eyes went wide and a nervous titter followed when she cut her gaze down to the outline in his shorts. “Oh, my.” 
Ben was a show-er and a grower, and he loved praise.
Giggling, Ms. Lickett managed to collect herself and pulled out an activity calendar. With an air of authority, she uncapped a red marker and began circling items on it, and then presented it to us. “I’ve taken the liberty to mark the things which should keep Ben out of deep water.” She winked. “As it’s getting late today, might I suggest you get settled in your room, and then check out the Ding Dong court for some good old exercise before dinner? Guests always say a vigorous round of slapping balls helps shake off the travel cobwebs and get the appetite flowing for their stay.”
About the Author:
The only child of jet-setting parents, Ima Synner grew up in the Swiss Alps under the strict hierarchy of a private institution run by nuns. While the Sisters of the Divine Way forced Ima to keep her feet on the ground, they couldn’t keep her head out of the clouds... or her fingers out of her britches. Ima’s imagination became her best friend, and in the darkest hours of the night, she’d sneak pen to paper to purge her salacious thoughts. At seventeen, the nuns found her stash of lustful literature, and she was turned out into the world.She hasn’t looked back.

About Kah Key Resort:Boston Billionaire Jettster C. Ocky searched the globe for the perfect spot to build his exclusive, adults-only resort. After what seemed like years, but was actually twenty minutes or so, he found a small, unnamed island in the Florida Keys only reachable by boat or helicopter, and bought it immediately. His first thought when he saw the aerial image of the island was, It looks like a car. So, he decided to call it Car Key. He handed the entire project over to Kevin & Ed Construction. 
“I’m giving you a free hand. I want exclusivity. I want luxury. I want nudity. Make Caa Key wicked ahhsome.”
So, they did. No corner was cut, no detail was too small. Kevin and Ed even hired a trademark lawyer to make sure the brand they were building for Mr. Ocky was unreproducible. Finally, the resort was finished. Jettster flew there immediately. When he stepped out of the helicopter, he saw the sign: 
Welcome to Kah Key ®
“Kah Key? Kah Key!” he yelled. “I didn’t say Kah Key, I said Caa Key. Caa. Caa. Like what you paak in Haavaad Yaad. Change it immediately.”
Still not understanding him, Ed and Kevin looked at each other and shrugged.
“We could do that… but it’s now your intellectual property because we had it trademarked,” said Kevin.
“So, no one else can use Kah Key for anything,” said Ed. 
Jettster frowned. “Oh. Then Kah Key it is.”

Finn Conleth leads his team of enforcer dragon shifters with an iron fist and a cold heart. Every dragon seeks his destined mate, but the process to turn the woman he once thought was his killed her and devastated him. He will never risk his heart again. His team is his family now. When his body eventually gives out, he’ll leave, living his last days alone.Delaney Hamilton moved across the country to escape the freak fires that plague her. But when another suspicious fire erupts and rapidly escalates around her, her hopes for a new life go up in smoke. She has no choice but to turn to the mysterious men who come to her aid.Finn knows the fire is dragon-caused, which puts Delaney’s problems directly in his jurisdiction. No matter how her wounded grey eyes call to every part of him, he refuses to risk her life in the mating process.Until another dragon threatens to claim Delaney for his own, and Finn has to sacrifice everything to keep her alive…

Goodreads / Amazon / Barnes & Noble / iBooks / Kobo / Google Play—EXCERPT:No way was she misinterpreting the need reflecting back at her.Say it, she silently urged. Too proud to beg out loud. Do something.“What do you want, Finn?” she repeated.Please.He tipped his head down, though his gaze remained on her, but the light in those blue depths shifted, turning from banked need, held ruthlessly in check, to a possessiveness that drew her body into aching awareness.He pulled lightly on her wrist, drawing her across what had been an impassable chasm of space, until she was flush against his hard body. His other hand came under the fall of her hair to rest against her neck.She didn’t look away, not even as he lowered his head, his movement agonizingly slow. His mouth only a whisper from hers, he stopped.“You,” he said. “I want you.”Finally. She had no idea if she closed the distanced between their lips or if he did. She only knew that she was getting exactly what she wanted.Sensation forced her eyes closed as the heat of him seeped into her skin, her body flushing with it, swamping her senses. Their tongues tangled, his mouth hard and urgent against hers, like he couldn’t get enough, like he needed to possess her. The speed of her body’s reaction was so fast, so immediate, that she went dizzy with the need, like looking over the edge of a terrifying drop.She was too out of her element, too out of control, but she didn’t want to stop. She wanted more.He released her wrist, wrapping his arm around her waist, her softness yielding to his hard body as he held her closer. At the same time, he loosened his grip on her neck, brushing over the sensitive skin at her nape with his fingers.Shards of electricity zapped from that simple touch directly to her core, which throbbed in response. At the same time, warmth from that touch spread through her on a wave of a feeling akin to total acceptance. Like this was where she was supposed to be. A low moan dragged from her mouth as he lifted her, just enough that it put him in complete control. He slipped a thigh between her legs, then pressed her down.Holy hell.Delaney leaned into him, her body softening into his, attuned to what his wicked hands and lips were doing to her even as her heart beat fast has hummingbird’s wings just to be in his arms. She arched into him, moving against him with a moan.His hand slid under her shirt and he brushed against the sensitive flesh at her waist, his skin warm against hers. Which only made her want more skin.With eager hands, she tugged at his black t-shirt, breaking their kisses only long enough to pull it over his head. Then she allowed her hands to roam, to feel the rigid strength in his body, loving the heat of him, the bourbon and Coke smell of him.A shudder shook his body. “I want you.” He paused, then said something else under his breath. Something like, “More than I should let myself.” But then his lips were back on hers, addling her senses and taking over her mind.A bellow rent the air and jerked Delaney out of the oblivion of pleasure where she floated. She snapped her head up, breaking the kiss to listen. Another sound that she could only classify as a roar broke the stillness.“What was that?” she asked. Fear, rather than need, had her heart tripping over itself inside her chest. “It sounds like a…wounded animal.”Finn gave a low rumble that sounded more like a warning growl than anything a human would make, and her heart slammed into high gear. Slowly, dread pulling at her, she turned her head to look directly at him.To encounter eyes ablaze. Not figuratively. Literally ablaze. Blue flames consumed his irises.What the hell? Panic spiked inside her, and her breath came out in short, sharp bursts, speeding up as she absorbed what she was seeing.Adrenaline joined the fear and she shoved his chest. Hard.She must’ve surprised him, because Finn released her, stumbling back a few paces. She managed to keep her feet under her, then scrambled back, trying not to trip over any rocks in her path.He held up his hands. “Delaney, don’t—”She did the only thing she could. She ran.

Publication date: September 21st 2018
Genres: Adult, Urban Fantasy

Once you face the devils, there’s no going back.Guardian angel Ava Lightway has spent a century watching over her charges, whispering the words of the gods in their ears. But her peaceful existence ends when she’s assigned to Liam Striker, a supernatural detective with no memory of his past.Liam might be Ava’s biggest challenge yet. Stubborn and dangerously captivating, he’ll stop at nothing to find the demon who murdered his father. Even if it costs him his life.Keeping death away from her new partner is an impossible task. And even if their investigation doesn’t destroy Ava, succumbing to Liam’s smoldering touch just may.

Goodreads / Amazon—

Are you a book reviewer?
You can request a review copy here!—EXCERPT:The stench of stale beer and sweat invaded Ava’s nostrils as she moved toward the bar. A football game played on the screen behind the counter, but none of the three men populating the pub paid any attention to it.The air inside was musty, old, and it only worsened as she approached the end of the room.She passed by the first man, who sat in a booth on the left. He stared at nothing in particular, with a cry stuck midway in his throat and a half-empty jug of beer clutched in his hand. The bad lighting drenched half of him in shadows, making it seem like darkness was swallowing him.He didn’t notice Ava because she had masked her presence before entering. She wasn’t exactly invisible. Humans could see her if they focused hard enough, but they rarely did.Ava made a mental note to check up on that poor soul if she had the chance, her Guardian instincts urging her to help. He was clearly suffering, but she was here for a reason, and the reason was not that man. So she went back to the task at hand.The wooden floor creaked as she approached the bar. The bartender, an old man with white hair and a face marred by deep wrinkles, cleaned a dirty glass from behind the counter.She wasn’t here for him, either.The last man sat hunched at the edge of the counter. Well, he wasn’t exactly a man. According to his file, he was a Selfless, an angel whose memories had been wiped out so he could be reborn as a human—standard procedure, considering centuries of memories could overload a human brain.She stopped by his side and sat on the red padded stool to his left. The seat’s ripped leather grazed the white fabric of her bodysuit, scratching her thighs.The man was hunched over, so she couldn’t see much of him except for his strong build and dark hair. He took a long gulp of his drink and didn’t acknowledge her presence for a while.So she waited.“Archie isn’t dead yet,” he finally said, his voice rough like a cement wall.“I do belie—”“He’s not dead,” the man repeated, his attention solely on what was left of his whiskey.She took a deep breath. “I know, Liam.” She used her Guardian voice, the calm, soothing tone to which she had grown accustomed. It was how she talked to her charges, how every guardian angel spoke, actually. Using the same serene tone.Liam turned to Ava, his brow furrowed and his lips twisted, and for a moment too quick to count, she lost her breath. Ava had seen his photo on file, but the live version of him was brutally handsome. Liam was a cool wind on a summer morning and a thunder waiting to crack. His features were all sharp angles and fierce lines, but his eyes … Ava had never seen eyes like those. Rough emeralds cut with razor-sharp precision, almost like crystalline water, if water were green.“Don’t call me by my name,” he spoke through gritted teeth. “You don’t know me.”“You’re right, and I apologize.” She patted her thighs as if she were fixing the apron of an invisible dress. “I only read your file, but I’d like to get to know you, Liam.”“You’re a Guardian,” he scoffed and took a sip of his drink.“I am,” she said, ignoring the contempt in his tone. “However, the word the Messenger used when he assigned you as my charge was ‘temporary partner’.”“You’re not my partner,” he barked through tight lips. “Archie is.”“I’m not here to replace Archibald, Liam.”He glared at her, certainly because she had used Archibald’s name and his. This seemed to be a sensitive matter to her new charge, so she calmly added, “I can’t replace your partner. No one can.” Ava extended her hand to him. “I’m Ava, by the way. And I’m here to help.”

Hadn’t even spoken yet.My new next-door neighbor balanced on the top rung of a rickety wooden ladder and fiddled with one of the eaves on the Starr house. Adorable squeaks and grunts escaped her—didn’t help the growing ‘situation’ downstairs—and her long dark hair swayed with each tug.She was in cutoff jeans, her tan legs long and shapely, her ass—fuck it, ‘dat ass’—was priceless. A work of fucking art. Her skin glowed and glistened with sweat in the Louisiana summer sunshine.What are you, a goddamn perv? So much for the friendly neighborhood doctor gig.

Second chances are for suckers.Micah’s heard that expression before. With his first year of college in the books, catching his girlfriend cheating on him—again—he learns that lesson firsthand. The girl he thought could’ve been his high school sweetheart, turns out to be nothing more than a liar, completely destroying his trust.No one has ever called Veronica fat. Thick? Okay. Curvy? Sure. However, they’ve never come right out and told her she’s overweight. Not unless you count the kids in third grade who called her roly-poly. Grade school or freshman year of college, it doesn’t matter. Guys usually go for the tall, thin girls. Girls like Micah’s ex.Despite their hang-ups, and their pasts, Micah and Veronica find something in each other that quells their concerns. But when old faces return, and unsettling truths are revealed, will either of them be able to work through the layers and find one another again?Through the Layers is a standalone YA/NA romance in the Rumor Has It series.

Goodreads / Amazon—EXCERPT:I knock again and pull out my phone. Maybe I should call him.The door swings open and Micah stands there, dripping wet, holding a towel around his waist. “Hey, you’re early.”“I … I …” I’m trying to form words, but my brain has gone to pudding. I can feel it, all squishy, sloshing around inside of my skull. He opens the door wider to let me in, but I just stand there, admiring—gawking—at the water dripping down his chest. The beads of water trail over his muscles, down his stomach, to somewhere underneath the towel.“You gonna stay out there all night?”My eyes shoot back up, and he’s smiling. “Would you like to come inside or did you want to get to business out there?” My mouth drops, and he laughs.Finally realizing he’s teasing me, I find some kind of strength to not stare at him, and go inside.“Just give me a second to dry off.”I stop and stand behind the sofa. Usually, I’d feel comfortable enough to go to the kitchen and grab something to drink, or just lounge around on their couch, or even head straight into his bedroom and turn on the TV and start to watch something. Now, I’m stuck.What should I do? Does he expect me to do something or say something? Should we have something to drink first? I know they usually have some alcohol in the apartment, maybe he wants to relax first. Should I change already? Why is it they make it look so much easier in the movies and on TV when it comes to this sort of stuff?“What are you doing?” Micah asks, coming back out of the bathroom. He’s got on a pair of shorts and a shirt that fits him snuggly, but I can’t erase—nor do I want to—the mental image of him opening the door in nothing but a towel.“Um …” I look around, unsure how to answer.He gives me a hug and kisses the top of my head, before walking to the kitchen. “Happy birthday. I ordered a pizza. I would’ve gone all out, but you said you just wanted a chill night. Is that okay?”“Mm-hm.” I nod.Turning around, he stares at me still standing there. “Are you okay?”Get it together, V. This was your idea!

—EXCERPT:He rasped, “You going somewhere, Sin?”There was no smile. When he crossed his muscular arms, my eyes traveled up his tall, well-built body that was pure rippling muscle. Hardened abs trailed downward to the waist of his black designer-looking jeans.
Damn, no man should look this fucking good all the time.And why the hell wasn’t he wearing a damn shirt? His body, from chest to wrist, was a beautiful composition of Japanese tattoos and other beast-themed ink.
“Yep,” I replied. “I’ve got shit to do.”He arched a brow. “Like?”“Like it’s none of your business,” I replied while slowly plodding toward him, stepping into his massive kitchen. We stood face-to-face as I leaned my hip against the granite kitchen counter.He scowled. “That’s where you’re wrong. Everything about you is my business.” He was studying me too closely, his expression brooding.

(Shayne Davies, #1)
Publication date: September 18th 2018
Genres: Adult, Urban Fantasy

When it comes to talented new recruits at the Federal Underworld Agency, Nora Jacobs is only half the story…The Devil to Pay is the first book in Jackie May’s companion series to Nora Jacobs, set in the same urban fantasy Detroit, sharing several supporting characters (hello, Nick Gorgeous), but with a new main character, Shayne Davies. This series can be enjoyed on its own, but readers of the Nora Jacobs books will be more familiar with the world and its characters.As a fox shifter, Shayne Davies gets no respect in an underworld run by the fearsome and powerful—werewolves and vampires, sorcerers, demons, and mythical faerie creatures. Even at home, Shayne is still treated like the brat of the pack. Her mom constantly nags; her intended (but unwanted) mate ensures plenty of awkward silences, and Shayne is even expected to act submissive to the pack’s future alpha…a six year old.Yeah. Time for Plan B.All Shayne wants is to prove that she’s got what it takes to run with the big dogs, which is why she is constantly hounding Nick Gorgeous to make her an agent at the “Double D”, the Detroit Division of the FUA. That’s an easy “No” for Gorgeous, who keeps a strict “No Shayne Davies” policy. Well, never say never. When mysterious underworld criminals steal a load of bomb materials, the FUA picks up a messy case nobody wants to touch. It’s bad enough that a demon horde is involved, but now the annoying FBI has sent out an agent to babysit the investigation. To make matters worse, the notoriously uncooperative master vampire Henry Stadther has control over what may be the only key to breaking the case: a handsome human detective.The whole thing’s a hopeless disaster.So, guess what, Shayne? You’re hired!

—EXCERPT:The pill is small, so I decide to be cool like people in movies and pop it in my mouth without a drink. When I swallow, the pill sticks to the back of my throat. It’s not big enough to block my air, but I’m full-on gagging and hacking when I see a guy in a white shirt and tie duck past my window, open the rear door, and let himself into the backseat.“Hey,” I croak, “you’re just in time to pass me that soda at your feet.” Which doubles in heavily-accented snark-talk for Who and/or what the hell, random guy?But he’s not bilingual, so he only searches at his feet and passes up to me a half-empty bottle of soda. After a drink, I cough out: “Sorry, I wasn’t ready just then to host a mugging. But I’m good now.”“Um,” he says, unsure, “okay, I think I might have made a mistake.”“It’s true, I’m not a hooker.” In the rearview I can see a pristine wedge of blonde hair above pleasing green eyes. But very concerned eyes. Haunted, even.He says, “I thought you were trying to take me.”“Again, not a hooker.”“But there’s no room back here to take somebody. I can’t even sit down. Are these all your clothes?”“It’s laundry day,” I lie. “And let me get this straight. You were afraid I might be here to take you away in my car, and so…you got into my car?”“Yeah, but I was going to do this.” He jabs a gun into the back of my neck. His voice is shaking. “Now look to your left. See those guys?”“Wait, you were going to do this, or you’re actually doing it now?”“Just look!” He quickly adds, “Please.”“Well, since you said please…”“You see them?”I do. Up ahead, just beyond the light of the blue street lamp, stand two tall figures, deep black silhouettes against a lighter black night. They appear to be facing us. Just watching. “Yeah, I see ’em.”“Can you call them off?”“Hey, remember that one time when you were saying you might have made a mistake about me?”“I know, but now I figure maybe even vampires gotta have laundry day, right?”I take another look at him in the mirror. He’s sweating. Eyes darting. His aggression is coming from fear, not anger. I know he’s human, because I can’t feel any underworld in him, and I definitely would feel something from this close.“And now I figure,” he says, “that when I say vampire and you say nothing, that tells me that maybe I didn’t make a mistake.”“Could be I’m just speechless because I think you’re a crazy person. Or I could be waiting for you to look at me in the rearview mirror…” His eyes go to mine in the mirror. “…so I can use my Dracula mind-control powers on you.”He quickly turns away and digs the gun deeper into my neck. Ow. “You might be supernaturally fast, but can you dodge a bullet?”Human. White shirt and tie. Knows about vampires… “You’re from Washington?”“Washington state? Is that a vampire thing? Makes sense. Lots of rain there, not much sun.”Okay, I’m going to shut up now. This guy’s either the world’s greatest bullshit artist, or he’s just a human who found out way too much, and those two shadows under the streetlight really are vampires, in which case they’ll either wipe his mind or kill him.“I’m Detroit PD, Homicide,” he says. Not the bullshit artist, then. Nice knowing you, guy. “Two days ago I’m assigned to a hooker from Corktown, and there’s no—”“When you say assigned, you mean she’s dead?”“I mean, her body was found with her throat ripped out, only there’s no blood at the scene, because there’s no blood in her body. Like it’s been sucked out.”“By vampires.”He eases up on the gun. “Right? Is that what you think?”“I’m saying that’s what you think.”“I don’t think, I know. Just like I know you’re either a hooker or a vampire, and probably both.”“Try neither, and definitely not a hooker.”“Yeah, you said that already. Very first thing when I got in your car was ‘I’m not a hooker.’ It’s like, ‘Oh, is your name also Methinks?’”“What?”“Methinks, Methinks! It’s like a famous internet meme or whatever, and she protests too much about the thing that’s obviously true. I’m not a hooker, I’m not a hooker! Then why are you sitting out front of Dario Machlin’s apartment?”“Dario? You’re here for Dario?”“You tell me.” He pulls the gun away, and my shoulders can finally relax. After another glance at the shadow figures—yep, still there—he takes a breath, collecting himself. “Vampire or not—”“Hooker or not.”“—you have to know something. Last night you got into Underworld, which I’m pretty sure is a hangout for vampires. And you came home with Dario Machlin. You stayed all night.”“What, so you’ve just been spying on us? Did you peek through his window at any time last night? Because you could have learned some things your girlfriend will appreciate.” I put the car into drive.He flinches. “What are you doing?”“I’m taking us around the block. Unless you want to have a chat with those guys?”He sucks in a breath when he sees that the shadow figures are now on the move toward us. As they pass beneath the light of the street lamp, I recognize them, and yes, they are vamps, and yes, my night just got shot to hell.
