Publisher Description
An alpha male vampire must protect his psychic scientist lover in this paranormal romantic suspense novel from a New York Times–bestselling author.
A Daring Rescue
Emma Paulsen is a geneticist driven by science. But she's also a psychic, so when a dark, good-hearted vampire frees her from the clutches of the evil Kurjans, she realizes he must be the man who's been haunting her dreams. But with a virus threatening vampires' mates, Emma may discover a whole new meaning of “lovesick”…
A Deadly Decision
As King of the Realm, Dage Kayrs has learned to practice diplomacy. Still, it's taken three hundred years to find his mate, so he'll stop at nothing to protect her—even if it means turning his back on his own kind. . .
“Sizzling sex scenes and a memorable cast.”—Publishers Weekly
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Picking up where Mar. 2011's Fated left off, this fast-paced paranormal romance continues the saga of the vampire Kayrs brothers as they find their respective mates against a backdrop of war and intrigue. This time, vampire king Dage is determined to win over his destined mate, geneticist Emma Paulsen. Emma is willing to admit the mutual attraction, but she refuses to yield to his pushy and at times abusive behavior. Their emotional struggle and frequent carnal encounters punctuate a series of emergencies involving a rival vampire clan, paranormal politics, and a virus that strips its victims of their powers. Dubious science, predictable soap opera theatrics, and Dage's aggressive mistreatment of Emma all detract from this thriller's true strengths: sizzling sex scenes and a memorable cast. While Dage and Emma's story is presented as a full arc, the conclusion leaves many plot threads to be resolved in future books.
Customer Reviews
Will Fate be obeyed?
***
"I won't take orders from you."
The smile he flashed her was not kind, even with the flirtatious dimple winking for just a second. It was knowing, wicked, carnal. "Oh love, you misunderstand. It wasn't the king demanding you obedience." His muscles bunched like a predator before springing. "It was the man."
"There's a difference?" The urge to run spiked through her blood.
"Absolutely. The king has rules." He moved faster than she could track and hauled her off the ground, easily holding her an inch from his mouth. "The man doesn't." - Zanetti, Claimed.
