"Dark and delicious."—Kerrelyn Sparks, New York Times bestselling author on Race
the Darkness
Out of darkness and danger…
You can't hide your secrets from Lathan Montgomery-he can
read your darkest memories. And while his special abilities are invaluable in
the FBI's hunt for a serial killer, he has no way to avoid the pain that brings
him. Until he is drawn to courageous, down-on-her-luck Evanee Brown and finds
himself able to offer her something he's never offered another human being:
himself.
Dawns a unique and powerful love
Nightmares are nothing new to Evanee Brown. But once she
meets Lathan, they plummet into the realm of the macabre. Murder victims are
reaching from beyond the grave to give Evanee evidence that could help Lathan
bring a terrifying killer to justice. Together, they could forge an indomitable
partnership to thwart violence, abuse, and death-if they survive the forces
that seek to tear them apart.
Her eyelids fluttered. Opened.
“How are you feeling?” That question was more appropriate than interrogating her on how she came into possession of a human eyeball. He’d wait until she was fully conscious before tripping down that trail.
“Cold. So cold.” Goose bumps pimpled over her bare skin. She scooted toward where he sat on the edge of the bed, wrapping herself around his hips, seeking his body’s warmth.
He should get the heavy sleeping bag from the closet. He should cover her with it and leave the room. He should, he should, he should. He didn’t. He pulled off his boots and eased into the bed. She latched onto him before he fully reclined.
She molded herself to him. His shoulder her pillow, her arm around his middle, one of her legs draped over his thighs, her knee just a few miniscule inches from his groin. Everything vanished, except the vivid sensation of her feminine curves burrowing into him, seeking his safety, his comfort, his warmth. She was cool where he was on fire. She was soft where he couldn’t bend. She was sweet where he felt bitter.
She fit into his arms, against his body, and into his soul like she was designed especially for him. He wanted to believe he could have a happy ending with her, but his reality was a cruel, hard place where good things just didn’t happen. Or if they did, they never lasted.
