Rhys Carey spent centuries evading the clutches of his twisted brother, unable to trust anyone. He longs for a home and for the love that he could not have while his brother lived. Now that his twin is dead, he’s bound with a different set of chains, those of isolation and self-loathing, and they are impossible to escape.
Savannah Baker is unbearably lonely. Her abilities as an empath have trapped her in a small life, with only a single friend to call her own. She dreams of so much more but holds no hope that she will attain her deepest desires.
When Rhys moves in across the street, the attraction between them blossoms into something more — a love neither of them believed they could have.
Yet unbeknownst to Rhys, darkness stalks him, waiting for the opportunity to strike. The evil that shadows his every move will use whatever means necessary to ensnare Rhys, even kill the woman he can no longer live without.
Now that these two lost souls have finally found each other, they are in a battle for survival. And for love.
*Though this is the second book in the Blood & Bone series, it can be read as a standalone. Rhys was a secondary character in the Bitten series, so if you enjoy this book and you have not read that series, you should check it out!

Chloe MacArthur has finally found her mate but he’s the one wolf she can’t have.
To save her heart from further pain, she leaves the pack that she’s come to consider her family. Unfortunately, unfinished business leads her back to her childhood home and straight into a deadly game with shifters that will do anything to prevent her from learning the truth.
Ian Lachlan is in mourning. Nearly two years ago, he lost his mate but, thanks to Chloe, he’s finally living again. When he wanted to give up and die, she saved him.
Now, Chloe is the one who needs help and Lachlan plans to return the favor. Intent on protecting her from her enemies, he follows Chloe and soon discovers that he wants far more from her than friendship. He wants everything she has to give.
But can either of them let go of the past long enough to reach for their future?
*Though this book features characters from the Bitten series, it can be read as a standalone. If you enjoy Chloe and Lach’s story, you can read more starting with Bite Me (Bitten, #1) which is currently free!

Dear Savannah,
This is our first Valentine’s Day together. I was not sure what to do. If I should buy you a gift or flowers. Ava told me that whatever I chose for you, it should come from my heart. Nothing I found represented what I truly feel for you. So instead, I give you the words that live inside me every day we are together.
For centuries, I dreamed of you. I did not know your name or see your face, but I dreamt of the idea of you. The idea that I would find someone to love and who would love me in return.
I knew it was a wish that would be impossible to fulfill. I existed with no purpose, utterly alone. Until I met you.
You are a miracle, Savannah. You brought me back to the world. Back to life. I love so much about you, but your heart, and the gentleness and generosity it contains, is what I love the most.
Now that you are mine, I promise I will always treasure the heart you have shared with me. And in return, I give you mine. It has been broken and twisted. It is not as perfect. But it beats for you and you alone.
Forever yours,
Rhys
