Description:
San Francisco
nightclub owner Carina Tranquilli works hard, plays hard, and never allows the
death of her parents and her twelve-year memory gap to get her down. But her
life takes a left turn when a witch attacks her on her twenty-fifth birthday.
Three hauntingly
familiar vampires emerge to reveal she possesses a latent power. To protect her
from their enemies, they admit to wiping her memories clean and abandoning her
as a child, but now they need her help. As she struggles to evade her new
protectors and even newer enemies, she meets Alexander, an enigmatic, undead
musician. Insta-lust flares, leaving her wanting more.
With evil’s minions
hounding her every move, and everything she thought she knew turned on its
head, Carina must harness her burgeoning power, unravel her vampire family’s
web of deceit, and fight to have a love life...without getting killed in the
process.
Turn around.
I froze, my moment of weakness chased away by a jolt of
adrenaline. I resisted Adrian’s pull. “Did you hear that?”
“Hear what?”
Silence.
“Nothing, I guess.” A wave of energy rolled into me, curled
itself possessively around my body, and gave me one hell of a head rush. “Oh,
wow.” I bit my lip, bracing against reaction.
Adrian tightened his grip on my waist. “Rina?”
Mark and Ren stalked over, faces grim.
“Did—? Do you—?” My mouth was so dry I could barely speak.
“Do you guys feel that?”
Adrian squeezed, capturing my wandering attention, concern
etched in the stern set of his jaw. “Feel what? What’s wrong?”
I started to tell them the Invisible Man hugged me against
an electrified fence, but a second wave of energy bowled into me, making me
tingle from head to toe. The sensation walked the line between pleasure and
pain. A moan escaped me.
Mark took me from Adrian. “That’s it. We’re out of here.” He
tried to pick me up, but I shook my head. Bad idea. Dizziness took the hall,
and me, for a little spin.
Turn around. Turn.
Around.
Was it a voice or instinct urging me on? Either way, the
desire proved irresistible. I pulled away from Mark, pivoted, and forgot how to
breathe.
The electric energy pulled back. The dizziness abated. All
extraneous noise and people drained out of my perception until there was only Him.
Tall, fit, and bad-boy handsome with skin like pale honey, his
thick, walnut brown hair hung tousled in a sexy, I-just-got-out-of-bed way. A hip,
black, button-down shirt accentuated a sculpted upper body before it tucked
into slacks painted on long, lean legs. The whole package made my mouth water.
Hot. Yummy. Totally my type.
“Who are you?” I whispered.
His mouth twitched in a hint of a smile as if he heard me—impossible
given the distance between us. Heat spread, loosening my muscles, and my pulse
sped up. Nerves. What’s wrong with me? Guys never made me nervous, not even
gorgeous ones.
I nibbled my lower lip, mind racing to make sense of my
reaction. His gaze tracked the movement and then slid back up. The heat from
his stare hit me full force, driving a shaft of need through me. Energy rocked
me again, a warm, electric breeze bathing my skin. My eyes widened in
comprehension. The energy came from him.
Celia lives in
California with her husband, daughter, and two feisty cats. She writes urban
fantasy and paranormal romance, and has a particular fondness for vampires and
