Description:
When
inquisitive antique dealer Cami Wilson learns she’s the revered
offspring of an immortal mother and a mortal father, it’s not just
her hybrid status that has her all flustered. The title comes with
her very own super-sexy guardian.
Jaded
immortal Joseph Carlisle has only one thing on his mind; his sworn
duty to protect the hybrid from those who wish her harm. Anything
else would be complicated. That is until they meet.
Chemistry
sizzles between them but there’s a problem—the hybrid’s curse.
Cami’s touch, skin to skin, proves near fatal to her and all
immortals, Joseph included.
But
the fated lover discover her curse is the least of their concerns
when a friend’s deadly betrayal threatens to tear them apart
forever.
Excerpt:
He
might have just saved her life, but pinned to the freezing concrete
by some wannabe hero was not her idea of fun. Cami Wilson shoved the
unyielding wall of his chest, fighting not only him but the rising
panic. ‘Get the hell off me!’
The
guy remained on top of her, using his large frame to protect her from
the chunks of smouldering metal hurtling to the ground around her.
Icy air met with fiery heat and smoke infused the atmosphere like the
fifth of November, but there were no sparkling fireworks to admire,
only the flaming inferno, which seconds earlier had been her car.
Maybe
if she hadn’t been so intrigued by the antique brooch she held in
her hand or distracted by the weird, periodic buzzing emitting from
it, she might have seen him coming at her in full, rugby tackle mode.
He
lifted a little, easing the crushing pressure on her ribs, but
remained inches from her face. Glacier-blue eyes met hers,
captivating and intense. ‘Are you hurt?’
His
gravelly voice did something tingly to her insides. She went to
speak, but no words came. Nothing came to mind. Not the explosion.
Not the contents of her shopping trolley strewn all over Morrisons’
car park. Not the fact she could have been killed. Somehow, none of
it registered.
She
gawped back at him like a doe-eyed teenager, taking in the angular
sweep of a jawline peppered with dark stubble, and well-defined lips
that parted invitingly as he drew in his breath.
His
gaze lingered on her mouth in a breath-taking moment right out of one
of those soppy rom-coms she liked to watch.
Forget
burning cars and curious brooches… hel-lo, future husband.
Somewhere
to her left, an engine revved loudly, and he turned his head towards
the sound. Overlong, tousled hair tickled her cheek, and she got a
faint whiff of citrus shampoo.
Hmm,
lovely…
A
second later, his attention returned to her. His grave expression
burned with an urgency that brought her down from the clouds.
‘Dammit! I asked if you were hurt.’
‘No,
I…’
In
a move so swift it wasn’t humanly possible, he leapt to his feet
and hauled her up beside him. The brooch slipped from her gloved hand
and landed on the ground.
The
man cursed under his breath and stooped to retrieve it. With an
exasperated look, he waved it in front of her as though she were a
baby dropping her dummy for the hundredth time. ‘You need to take
more care of this. Don’t you know how important it is?’
Sudden
indignation flared. Cami snatched the jewel from his grasp and
slipped it back into her coat pocket. Okay, the guy rocked the sexy,
just-rolled-out-of-bed look, but his patronising attitude set her
teeth on edge. What right did he have to tell her what to do? And
what on Earth did he know about a weird, vibrating brooch she’d
been given by her adoptive mother, the only clue she had to her past?
