Devin Alexander grew up as the only day human in a world surrounded by night humans who drank blood, sometimes his blood. He spent his life training toward one goal: the protection of one of those blood drinkers, Arianna Grace. But what is he supposed to do when the blue-eyed girl of the legends doesn’t need him anymore? What does his life mean then? How is a guy supposed to move on when the girl he has yearned over for a decade has chosen someone else?
Before he can even start to figure out his new life without Arianna, Devin has to deal with another problem. He needs to take care of some unfinished business with a night human he has known for less than a month, but with whom he is magically bound.
Vanessa McKinny has promised that she knows a way to undo the spell she placed on Devin to save his life. Devin would do anything to break the bond to be free of her, even if it means traveling to the sidhe village, a place inhabited by a race of night humans that has not had a day human visitor in more than a hundred years. If he doesn’t want to get stuck, he must work with Nessa to find a way to break the bond. Only then can Devin have time to get back to finding his new goal in life, unless he discovers that his path lies with the sidhe.
Excerpt
Devin's new goal-
protecting Nessa:
“What’s wrong?” she asked. She looked over his shoulder and
quickly around the room, but didn’t see anything.
“We need to dance our way out of here,” Devin replied quietly,
while still spinning them in circles. “Just follow my lead.”
Nessa wanted to ask more, but Devin dipped her down suddenly
with one hand. Pulling her back up, his fist pressed against her back, now
holding an arrow he grabbed from an assassination attempt. No one saw the
invisible arrow, but Devin still held onto it. After a few more quick spins
that didn’t allow Nessa to ask more questions, yet brought them five feet
closer to the exit, Devin caught a second arrow from a different assassin. The
first assassin was still waiting. Even the assassins didn’t see their own
arrows. As they were within ten feet of leaving, Nessa finally protested.
“Devin, what is going on?” she asked, a bit winded from dancing.
‘Not now. I’m trying to save your life,’ Devin answered
silently. Nessa’s eyes went big. She obviously hadn’t considered the danger to
her life. ‘Now duck,’ he ordered.
Nessa instantly bent down and pretended to adjust her dresses
hem. Devin held out his empty hand to help her stand back up. She smiled and
stood, though there was still hesitation in her eyes. She couldn’t see the
arrows in his hand. Devin smiled back, and she relaxed a little. Nessa slipped
her hands back to his shoulders, and Devin took the lead again, pulling her
toward the exit on the opposite side of the room from their table.
‘Dinner, dance, and then done?’ Devin asked,
reiterating that they were done. He didn’t expect any kind of protest, but he
had to be sure that they fulfilled the role they were supposed to play.
