Magnus

A werecougar who light-proofed his house for a vampire he met once. A vampiress who fled at dawn to protect him, and has been hunted ever since. A forbidden bond that two years of separation could not break.

Magnus Redstone is the quiet one of the five brothers. The one nobody worries about. What they don't know is that two years ago, he met his mate — a vampiress named Miranda — and woke up alone. She left before he could say the words. She left to keep him safe from the consequences of loving her. It didn't work. He has been unable to touch another woman since.

Miranda has survived centuries of immortal existence by trusting no one and depending on nothing. Then she was captured by a Venifucus mage who caged her in silver and bled her for months, slowly draining her power for his dark rituals. When Mag finds her on the verge of death, half-mad with hunger, and still fighting, he takes her home to the house he built with her in mind. The one she never knew existed.

Now she has to heal. And Mag has to convince a woman who has spent two years running from the most important thing she ever felt that some bonds are stronger than taboo.

But the vampire world is watching. When a faction of bloodletters moves to overthrow the Master of Las Vegas, Mag and Miranda find themselves in the middle of a power struggle that could cost them both their lives — just as they are finally beginning to find their way back to each other.
