Through the open doorway suddenly stepped a small woman, long ebony hair braided intricately, huge blue eyes flashing at Mikhail. As Byron shouldered his way inside behind her, she gave him a friendly...
Gregori glided closer to the couple, his graceful elegance failing to conceal the rippling strength of his muscles and the power emanating from his body. He looked totally confident, relaxed, complete...
I am Gregori, Jacques. Gregori’s voice was power itself, yet soft and soothing. A healer for our people. Shea was lying across Jacques, her head on his shoulder, her eyes closed. She groaned— a low, h...
I will not expose you to these men. Give it a rest, Jacques. I mean it. We’re in this thing together. I hate to brag and put you at an obvious disadvantage, but I can take more of the sun than you. Hi...
No one will ever harm you. Not ever. They may attempt to do so, but they will not survive. He took a deep breath before his confession. I was not aware that you were not Carpathian. I was not capable...
She shook her head. You keep getting mixed up. I’m supposed to be protecting you. I’m your doctor. She lifted her head, green eyes searching his face. You’ve never lived with a woman? You must have ha...
She went to move around Jacques, strongly objecting to the label. She did have a name. She was a person. She had a feeling they all thought her the hysterical type. She certainly hadn’t managed to sh...
