Embers in the Wind

She can run, but there is no escaping the games that destiny plays.

Embry
A much needed escape leads me into the Mystic Forest, somewhere to hide from my sordid past.
The sacred woods have a way of whispering secrets though, passing them along to friends and foe.
I shouldn’t be in the enemies’ land, yet there must be a reason I was sent from the city into the cavern hidden deep in the woods. The sacred area that both the vampires and witches claim for their very own. They act like friends.
Yet, I’m told the witches are not to be trusted, but nor is the vampire lord sent to bring me home.
The arrogant and ruthless Lord Stephan Corvinus is known as one of the most powerful vampire leaders in the region. And I’m not going anywhere with the bloodthirsty beast.
No matter that with one dark and sultry look I’m putty in his sexy hands.
Trust does not come easy, yet if I’m going to uncover the truths of the past, I must depend on the very man who openly challenges me to a deal I should refuse.
But can’t.

Lord Corvinus
Embry can run but she cannot hide. Sent by the vampire overmaster as a favor to his queen, finding and protecting Embry from the creatures of the dark is my job.
It should be an easy task…
But from the moment her scent invades my senses, nothing will ever be the same. It seems destiny has stepped into my life and wants to play a cruel little matchmaking game.
I scoff at the thought of fated mates, especially when the sharp-tongued female defies me at every turn, but there’s something about Embry that calls to my dark-hearted soul.
She can resist, but I will protect her from the enemies in a nearby witch academy, and even from herself, but at a price.
She’s mine for one year, that’s the deal.
