Is theirs a love match?
For Leira Venn, her future is a given foretold by the
oracle of the Albah, the ancient people she was born to. Which is why she knows
from the moment she meets Dr. Julian Ryder that he is fated to be hers. But
nothing else about the prophecy feels right. For the handsome doctor is
shrouded by darkness, and intimately involved with a woman who seems intent on
killing Leira …
Or a death wish?
Sorrow has shadowed Julian Ryder for as long as he can
remember. But from the moment he meets lovely Leira, his heart is filled with
hope for the future—a future that is as combustible as the powerful attraction
between them. For Leira is marked for death by the very forces who killed his
mother. The very darkness that stole everything he held most dear. Only this
time, Julian is stronger, more in control of his powers than ever. But will it
be enough to save Leira from those who would destroy her?
Emily slipped her phone into her pocket. He hadn’t been lying about leaving the hospital late. She’d watched him walk out the door. She’d spent a lot of time watching him and not enough doing anything. The times they were together they got as close as two people could, yet Julian had managed to keep the rest of his life completely apart from her. She was pretty sure that no one even knew they were dating.She sat in her car without starting it. They weren’t really dating and she shouldn’t be feeling pissed that he’d blown her off. He was a mark, not her lover. He was her kill to get her full membership to the Guardians of Adam.She closed her eyes and leaned over the steering wheel. So why hadn’t she done it already? She should’ve done it months ago when they first met.She’d known that he was Albah from the curl of his ears. But he was also attractive, educated, and nothing like the egotistical magic-using maniacs her mother had told tales about. She should’ve questioned him and killed him two weeks ago while the undead horror was alive and killing. Now the Albanex had vanished and she knew a Guardian hadn’t killed it. The Albah were probably protecting it. Hiding and feeding it.She shuddered.How could Julian, a well-respected doctor and burns specialist, participate in something like that? Yet it was in his blood to become an undead, blooddrinking Albanex. She needed to find out where his father lived—which was harder than it should have been. She’d tried.There was a tap on her window. Her heart stopped and she almost died. What a Guardian she was, jumping at a security guard doing his rounds. She opened her window a crack. “Yes?”“Just checking you’re all right, miss.” The security guard looked concerned.Emily softened her features as though she’d seen a dying relative and sniffed. “Yeah. Just gathering myself before I drive home.”“Never wise to linger in the car park. Better safe than sorry.” He smiled.He looked as though he couldn’t run down a thief even if the thief was carrying a box full of donuts and a coffee to wash them down.Emily nodded and obediently started her car. When he didn’t move away, she pulled out of the bay. She needed to get home. It was late, but no doubt her mother would want a status update.No change. Nothing to report.The only excuse she could give for why the Albah was still alive was that he could lead them to more…and hopefully the Albanex.She paid for her parking and headed out of the city. She’d go to Julian’s place and wait to see if he came home tonight at all. That twinge in her chest was not jealousy.He didn’t have another lover. He barely had time for her.She knew the real reason Julian was still alive was because she did fancy him just the tiniest bit. And he saved people. Maybe he wasn’t like the other Albah.But all Albah could become Albanex. Albanex were the vampires that humans thought existed only in myth. Albah were more like the elves or witches, harmless until they did the magic that would make them drink blood and live forever. The Guardians should’ve wiped them all out 200 years ago instead of calling for a truce; then she wouldn’t be in this position. Doctor Julian Ryder, for all his good work, was still only one magic ritual away from becoming an undead monster.
