Synopsis:
He is known only as Trace—because he leaves no trace of his victims behind.
A deadly Russian slayer, Trace’s life has always revolved around death. Death, and preventing humankind from learning about the legendary creatures of the night. But now his position as a Watcher has become a prison, and dealing death for the Vampire Nation isn’t as prestigious as he once believed it to be.
College dropout Bessina Darrow has witnessed things she isn’t permitted to see, a simple case of wrong place at the wrong time putting her life in danger. When Bessina becomes his new mark, Trace is prepared to eliminate her—until he discovers a way out for them both.
Protecting Bessina means defying the leaders of the Nation, an act that has them both running for their lives. The more Trace fights to disappear from danger, the more he unravels the secrets crafting his world—secrets he must unveil in order to finally save a life, instead of destroy it. Okay , I can do that.
Excerpt: From the moment of
his conception, his life had been laid out in front of him, and an average
human life that would span a few decades wasn’t something he’d been granted.
His human mother and vampire father had created a killing machine for the Nation,
able to circumvent the things that killed most vampires.
The fear in
Bessina’s eyes gave way to curiosity and Trace’s knees nearly buckled. Could
she want him as well? Even after she’d learned what and who he was?
He cleared his
throat. “Let’s get back in the car.” He released Bessina, but kept hold of one
of her small, warm hands. Gently, he pulled her forward, leading her back to
the car.
She stilled and
Trace turned around. He thought he’d convinced her to stay with him. Maybe she
had changed her mind.
“Wait.” She placed
her fingers on his top lip and softly pulled it up. “Show me.”
He pulled back,
taking her hands in his as she tried to pull his lips again. “Bessina . . . ”
He sighed and fumbled with her hands, trying not to hurt her as he pulled them
away and held them steady at her sides. “I don’t think that’s—”
She moved her hand
out of his and rested it on his shoulder, leaned in on her tiptoes, and placed
a soft kiss on his lips. To steady herself, she placed her other hand on his
chest and deepened the kiss. Her warm tongue deftly moved past his lips,
causing Trace to shudder.
He wanted more; he
wanted everything. And as he wrapped a hand around the nape of her neck to pull
her closer, she pulled away, leaving him cold and bereft in the wake of her
absence.
“Show me,” she
said. This time, her voice was a husky rasp.
He let his fangs
descend. Anything, if it meant she’d place those lips against his once more.
Her fingers found
their way to his lips. “Does it hurt?”
He frowned. Was he
so starved for attention, a kiss and a light touch was enough to throw him over
the edge?
“Oh, it does? I’m
sorry.”
His frown must
have confused her. He’d rectify that now. She needn’t pity him. He was a
killer—a man unworthy of her pity. “No, the hunger hurts more, but is easily
assuaged.”
As she stood in
front of him, with her finger gently tracing his fangs, he thought of nothing
other than holding her—not sleeping with her, or biting her—just holding her and
never leaving her. Trace could taste the natural salt on her skin, he could
feel the pulse at the tip of each fingertip, and he could smell the blood
traveling below her skin.
As she traced his
lips, scorching them with her touch, he closed his eyes. He allowed his hands
to move to her waist and pull her close. Bessina’s scent enveloped him, her
taste still lingered on his tongue and his body reacted to each sensation as if
he were a prepubescent teen experiencing touch for the first time.
