There are worse ways to die...
They are the Sentinels. Three races descended from
ancient guardians of mankind, each possessing unique abilities in their
battle to protect humanity against their eternal foes – the Synestryn.
Now, one warrior must fight his own desire if he is to discover the
power that lies within his one true love...
For too long, Helen Day has been haunted by visions of her own
death, surrounded by flames as a dark-haired man watches her burn. So
when she sees the man of her nightmares staring at her across a diner,
she attempts to flee – and ends up in the man's arms. There, she awakens
a force more powerful and enticing than she could ever imagine.
The instant the Theronai warrior Drake touches Helen, the anguish he
has borne for years fades away. He is determined to know why this
beautiful, fearful woman has such power over him. The answer lies in
his very blood – and in Helen's as well. For together, they may become
more than lovers – they may become a weapon of light that could tip the
balance of the war – and save Drake's people...
'Til death...
Helen shivered and heard a small moan lift from her mouth. Every
cell in her body stood at attention from that one little touch. Her
skin grew warm and her abdomen tightened against a jolt of heat. She
wanted something she couldn't name. Needed it. It wasn't just desire.
It went deeper than that. Bone deep. Soul deep. He had something that
belonged to her and she wanted it. Even if it killed her.
His lips slid over her cheek, barely touching. Maybe not even
touching, just stirring the fine hairs along her skin. Whatever he was
doing, it was wonderful, fear or not. She felt like she was being
filled up with energy. She felt more alive than she ever had before.
All from a barely-there touch from the man who would watch her die...
