Publisher Description
The best laid plans…
Marisa Clements was never satisfied writing the ‘gossip column’ in the local paper so she quit her job to follow her dream of writing fiction. Floundering in an unforgiving industry, she wrote about vampires, a popular subject she considered fascinating but as real as unicorns, to pay the rent.
Corgan Halton was tired of human misconceptions about vampires. He planned on telling Marisa his story and end his existence. It was no coincidence Corgan selected Marisa to write his story. With the ability to see the future, he knew she would be a major part of it. He knew she would be the one to help him die, but in doing so, she’d be doomed to the same fate. Once they met, their futures would be irrevocably intertwined.
Corgan began caring for Marisa and finally revealed the truth to her. He admitted his quest to atone for his past sins had put her in grave danger from a nest of revenge-seeking vampires. Corgan must claim her for her own protection. But claiming her is not enough, he must ask for help from his wizard friends and his maker in order to destroy his enemy or Marisa will never be safe.

Amazing action filled paranormal romance
Corgan Halton is very handsome, very old and very powerful. He is a vampire who feels it is time to end his existence but first wants to tell his tale. He chooses a struggling writer, Marisa Clements, as the one to write his story. Corgan can see into the future although it is not clear. There are two things he does know, she is the best. one to write his story but if she does, she will be in great danger. Marisa is unaware of how he has been manipulating her life and she also unaware of the potential for danger. Marisa currently writes a gossip column but hating that she was trying to write a book about vampires. All she knows is how great this story would be for her career. There is a connection between them both physically and mentally.
This is an amazing contemporary paranormal romance with danger and suspense woven into it to make it even more enjoyable. The characters are well crafted and full of personality, so much so, that they seem to pop off the page. Within the first two chapters, I was hooked and wanted more. The storyline weaves together, danger, magic, action, suspense and of course romance, into an emotional rollercoaster full of surprising twists and unexpected turns that keep going right to the end. The thing I enjoyed most was the verbal and mind interaction between the two main characters. I really wanted a happy ending for them in spite of the constant obstacles placed in their way. If you like paranormal romances chalked full of action and suspense then give this book a read.
