Vampire, Blake Auckley develops a wild and
rebellious nature that puts him and all humans who are unlucky enough to make
his acquaintance in danger. Abandoned by his maker, Melina, the night he was
created, Blake is used to being on his own, but when she suddenly reappears in
his life, it changes his world yet again.
Though forgiving and forgetting the past is
hard, Blake and Melina attempt to put their differences aside and repair their
relationship. However, with dark secrets and old wounds marking their souls,
Blake's enemies not far behind, and so many obstacles still ahead they must
fight to survive the danger, as well as each other.

Excerpt:
“Why did
you turn me, Melina? Why did you take my life?”
“What are
you going to do? Kill me? And here I thought we were getting along so well,”
she said with a chuckle.
Blake
considered the idea of destroying her there and then; how satisfying it would
have been, even if that feeling would only last a moment. But, realistically,
he knew that he would still be left with unanswered questions, and the prospect
of Silas hunting him down. It would just prove to be more of a hindrance than
anything else.
His grip
relaxed and then fell from around her throat. “I don’t know why I waste so much
energy despising you. Think of what I could accomplish if you didn’t burden my
mind.”
Clearly
angry that he had been aggressive, her slender fingers clutched his neck and
threw him to the floor.
“You’re
stronger than I thought you would be, but do not forget your place. It would
not matter if I were merely a year older than you; every year counts. Your
elders are stronger than you, even if it’s only by a sliver. If you forget
that, you may become vulnerable. And in a fight between you and them, you would
lose.”
“You’re
attractive when you’re angry,” he said with a smirk.
With a
roll of her eyes, Melina released him, got back to her feet, and then composed
herself.
However
disrespectful he was toward her, he had asked her a question, and it was only
polite for Melina to respond.
“I was
desperate, lonely, and hungry when I turned you. There was something about your
eyes...something that indicated that immortality would suit you.” Her answer
was simple. Blake could tell by her answer that she hadn’t put much thought
into turning him. “Any other questions?”
“Have I
become just what you imagined, your perfect progeny?” That, most of all, was
what irked him. She had been so thoughtless, so careless with his life.
“I’m not
sure. I don’t really know you, so I can’t make any assumptions. You could use a
lesson in manners, though.”
