Book Description:
Because the road to . . .
Clever, cool and preternaturally lethal, Max Savoie is leader of a secretive shape-shifter clan, heir to a mobster’s legacy, and the love of New Orleans’ top cop . . . but he can’t remember any of them. The only way to recover his past, and his rightful place in the arms of the woman who risked all to save him, is to surrender to a mysterious visitor who could use him as a weapon against all he’d loved.
Happily-Ever-After . . .
After rescuing her mate from his ruthless captors in the North, hard-hitting Detective Charlotte Caissie is now painfully vulnerable—a stranger in his eyes . . . and in his bed. The key to his memories is locked in a tortuous past. To reclaim the strength of their passionate bond, Max must learn to trust her enough to face that darkness at her side before the threat it hides exposes the secret Cee Cee carries.
Is never smooth.
When an investigation into grisly deaths in an underground Shifter fight club points to more than just dangerous clan rivalries, Cee Cee enlists Max’s help to find a traitor in their midst while there’s still time to turn a deadly invading tide. But the cost of saving their treasured future may mean sacrificing his past. Especially when the enemy they pursue . . . might be Max, himself.
Excerpt:
All the fear and
tension of the past hours rattled through her. Cee Cee hugged her arms about
herself to still the shivering. The events emphasized her fragile hold on those
she cared about. For all her best and bravest intentions, she couldn’t protect
them, especially within the often-lethal uncertainty of their preternatural
sphere. One she was now a part of by choice and by recently-discovered
heredity.
Still, she
wasn’t doing Max any favors by keeping him isolated in emotional bubble wrap.
If he was going to recover any sense of normalcy, he needed to get out into the
world and out of her panicked grip. Almost losing her partner made that all the
more painful to accept. To be alone again. To not share her life, her thoughts, her heart
with another . . .
What did she
have to lose? She had none of that now in her despondent dream that all could
go back as it was.
Her system gave
a jolt when she realized Max had come up behind her to make amends.
“You weren’t
being foolish.”
The rumble of
his deep voice caressed over her nerve endings, quieting them like a balm.
“Yes, I was. If you and Giles hadn’t been so close by, MacCreedy would be dead,
and I wouldn’t have been able to live with that. I should be thanking you, not
treating you like a runaway child who broke curfew. I’m sorry.”
His hand settled
on her shoulder, and the weight and warmth of it had her dying inside. “Don’t
apologize. I know how hard this is for you. I appreciate all you’ve done for
me.”
Past tense. A
bittersweet twist shaped her mouth. “All I’ve done has been for me, not you. I
haven’t given you much consideration at all. I’m selfish that way.”
His palm rubbed
over the cap of her shoulder, fingers gently kneading. Leaving her needing as
he objected quietly, “There’s not a selfish bone in your body, cher.”
A laugh. “How
would you know? You’re hardly an expert on what I am or I’m not.”
“I’m a fast
learner.”
She wasn’t sure
if he stepped forward or she leaned back.
Their bodies bumped, and the shock of it undid her.
Cee Cee turned
right into his arms. Hers circled him in a frantic clutch. Cheek pressed to the
hard wall of his chest with only a thin weave of white linen between them, she
squeezed her eyes shut and simply breathed him in. Love, longing, desire all
quivered through her, a bouquet so potent he couldn’t be unaware of it. This
was where she belonged, where everything made sense.
And then she
realized he no longer held her, that his arms had dropped to his sides, as his breath
suspended. She knew if she looked up, she’d see that horribly familiar
blankness in his eyes, that stiff distance in his expression, and suddenly that
hurt worse than the thought of his absence.
She pushed away
with a crisp, “I’m sorry. I’m breaking the rules. I forgot we were strangers.”
She turned to her dresser to snatch up those things that defined her: shield,
cell, holster and gun. “Consider yourself off the leash, Savoie. You’re capable
of handling your own affairs. I’ll stick to mine. If you’ll excuse me, I’ve got
a report to file.”
He didn’t move
to stop her.
