Nightshade Falls is supernatural playground where anything goes. Anything except a Vampire and a Shifter together, in love.ZoeyWe should have been bonded forever... But my future mate, chose me above all others only to walk away with another.And not just anyone- my best-friend. Make that Ex best-friend. I was barely hanging on when Markus shows up, sending me on a free-fall with his dangerous good looks and mysterious stormy gray eyes.He could be the one to set me free and unleash a desire I never imagined, if only our mating wasn't forbidden.When danger comes stalking me, Markus is the only one who can protect me, but protecting me might lead us down a path neither of us is ready for.MarkusI have a job to do, I can't afford any distractions.The moment I step into the mountain bar, I can't tear my gaze away from the gorgeous shifter I haven't seen before.It isn't just her body that holds me captive, but there's something in her eyes that I recognize-loneliness, betrayal. I know both well.She looks so lost. Damn if I don't want to be the one to find her. A vampire's primal urges are hard to control, harder than any other supernatural and when we want something, we go after it. I want Zoey. Even though I shouldn't... our species are enemies. The urge to take her, protect her is primal, one I can't ignore.Taking her won't be for just a night... my touch will seal our fate. I might be able to save her, but I could damn us both in the process.
