Blurb:
A
chain of tragic events cumulating in the shattering of the magical "dream
bond" between Theo and Sar turns the lovers against one another, as
Ulysses attacks from all fronts, hoping to destroy Devlin for good. The return
of Lash reignites the fire between he and Sar, even as he saves her daughter
Elle from certain death. Finally joined under Oath, Lash, Devlin, and Sar face
the storm of Ulysses's wrath, knowing it will take their combined strength and
courage to save all they love from his tempest of vengeance.
Excerpt:
My
tired eyes shot open in surprise. Lash was also taken aback, studying Devlin as
if he was waiting for the vampire to state some kind of condition. Devlin had
been holding the edges of the door frame and now he let go of one, and stepped
aside. Lash looked past him to me, lying there in Devlin’s bed. It was too dark
for me to see what he was feeling by his eyes, and even then, he had become a
lot better at hiding his emotions, now that his eyes weren’t always flat.
Lash stepped in the room. Devlin
shut the door behind him, then came back, and got into bed. Lash came to the
bottom of the bed and stopped, his face still unreadable.
“What are you waiting for? Go shower
and get in here already,” Devlin ordered, grief still heavy in his words.
“Dev, why are you saying that this
is okay now?” Lash hissed, annoyed.
“Because life is too short,” Dev
said flatly. “Danial thought he had eternity. That he was going to see Elle and
Theoron grow up. He may never get the chance to now. I may have lost him for
good. And now my niece has been hurt badly...” Devlin paused, swallowed hard
and began again. “I’ve been the cause of a lot of suffering. And I’m not
causing any more, not for you or her, not if I can help it.”
“You’re sure?” Lash hissed in a
malicious tone. “Don’t offer me this and then change your mind, Dev, like you
have before. It’s yes or no, tonight and from now on. Because if she wants me,
I’m not giving her up because you tell me to, not ever again.”
I wanted to say “what about Gina?”,
but decided to hold my tongue. I was feeling too happy just knowing he wanted
me, that he still cared for me as he had months ago.
“I want you here. She wants you
here. Stay.” Devlin said.
