Synopsis:Callie has secrets, too many to count.
For twenty years she’s been living a lie as Callie Worthington, hiding from the monsters who brutally murdered her parents for possession of the Elixxir of Life. Unsuccessful before, their killers have found her and will stop at nothing to acquire the Elixxir. And see her dead.
Nathanael has a couple of secrets, too. A nasty one in particular blurs the line separating Good from Evil. As an immortal Brethren Warrior, though, he must retrieve the Elixxir before it falls into the wrong hands. Just how he’s going to get it out of Callie’s is the big question.
Tempers flare as Callie and Nathanael reach out to each other with their own hidden agendas. She needs his protection. He needs the Elixxir. Will their fiery passion lead to lasting love, or will their web of intrigue ultimately destroy them both?
Secrets, lies, and love’s loyalties tested. What price for immortality? What price for love?
A Match Made in Heaven?
It didn’t take an online dating service or going to bars for
Nathanael and Callie to make a connection. No, it was more like divine
intervention! Ironically, the pair needed interventions of their own. Yes, my
hero and heroine have major issues to contend with. Yes, they are extremely
complicated. And yes, the fates have decided they should be put in highly charged,
emotional situations for an extended period of time!
Ever see two alphas in the same room? Yeah, me, too, and I
think you’d agree it can be quite explosive.
Usually we see two males sparring with words or fists. At some point,
one of them must back down. So what happens when one of the alphas in the room
is a female? The very same thing. With Nate and Callie, it’s a fiery,
passionate tussle to see who winds up on top.
What the hell was that all about? Did he do what I think
he did? Damn. The man just came on to me! Anger warred with arousal as she tore the tags off
her new clothes and collected her things from the bench. She whipped the
curtain open and stormed out toward the cashier’s counter where the
insufferable oaf leaned nonchalantly.
She gave the tags to the salesgirl, smiled, and turned to
him, speaking in a hushed but intense voice. “You and I are gonna have words
when I’m done here.” She heard him snort as she turned back to the girl and
smiled, paying for her clothes, but paying him no mind. Grabbing the plastic
bag with her own shorts and top inside, she marched past Nathanael and out the
door.
“Have a great night!” an oblivious saleswoman called out
to her. She waved her off with a grunt and a “Whatever.”
She watched as the overly-confident Neanderthal sauntered
out of the store and headed straight over to her. Even though they were
outside, he seemed to take up all the usable space in the immediate vicinity.
“You got words for me, Red?”
“I got plenty for you, Nate.” She poked his chest, trying
to push him back a bit. “Wanna hear some? How about, you’re a jerk for walking
into my dressing room without permission? How about, what the hell was that
back there, asking my dress size and calling me sexy as hell? How about—”
Her next words were gobbled up by a hot, urgent mouth pressed
against her own. Strong hands held her shoulders, guiding her closer to his
body as he deepened his assault on her lips. At first, she didn’t know what to
do. He’d shocked the hell out of her with his aggression. She couldn’t help
noticing some of her protective walls had been torn asunder, and well-guarded
ramparts were crumbling. Eyes that at first had flown open wide were now
fluttering closed as her mind claimed temporary insanity.
