On Edge

From New York Times and USA Today Best-Selling Author, Rebecca York


ON EDGE is a prequel to the Decorah Security series, Frank Decorah's story that so many readers asked for after meeting him in the first few Decorah books.


While in rehab at the Naval Medical Center, Navy SEAL Frank encounters two spirit women. One is a mind vampire, determined to suck the life out of patients in despair. The other is a guardian, fighting for their lives. After Frank helps her chase the vampire away, things get personal between the two of them.


EXCERPT:


"You must forget me," she said.


"If I'm going to forget this, it doesn't matter what happens now, does it?"


She tipped her head to the side. "What do you mean?"


"This."


If it had been daylight in the real world, he would have backed away from her. But this encounter was in a different category, like a dream and yet not a dream. He brought his lips to hers for a kiss that started off sweet and soft and quickly turned hot and hard. It had been eons since he kissed a woman, eons since he'd even thought about it or wanted to. Now he was focusing on every subtle nuance of her lips on his. He felt her shock at the contact. Maybe she tried to pull away. He wasn't sure because he held her fast, wanting more of her--wanting everything from her.


She seemed to know little of kissing, but he felt her relax into the sensuality of the moment, and he felt his own body harden in answer to her response.


He stroked one hand up and down her back, loving the lithe curves of her body. He was thinking about where the two of them could get horizontal when he felt her push against his shoulder.


"You should not."


His eyes blinked open. "Why not?"


"We should never have met."


He had forgotten that he was a man with one leg, a man who no woman was going to want.


"Sorry," he muttered.


She raised her face, searching his eyes. "Are you really sorry?"


"No."


"Good."


She'd gone from protest to reassurance in the space of a few moments.


"You liked it," he said. It wasn't a question but a statement.


"Yes."


He watched her swallow hard.


"But my liking it is all right because you won't remember it."


"The hell I won't."
