*****
The vampire Ash has
returned from his watery grave, proving that death is merely a minor
inconvenience. Picking up where he left off? That might not be as easy. Because
someone else is vying for Sami's attention - the last person he ever would have
expected.
Fulfilling her desire
for immortality seems the surest route to winning her favor. But for Sami, this
gift will come at a terrible price. One simple lie of omission is all it takes
to send her spiraling into a terminal state of madness. And as the last
remnants of her sanity slip away, Ash can no longer deny that her maniacal
behavior is putting them all at risk. His perfect angel has become a perfect
liability.
But can he find it in
his heart to destroy her?

And now an excerpt:
“Trust me?” he whispered.
“I trust you.” Her eyes fluttered shut as she waited for the
sharp prick of the needle, the one that would send her into her last slumber as
a human.
Instead she felt herself being lifted into the air, and even
before the back of her head slammed against the hard packed sand, even before
the warm water of the tidepool surrounded her, she knew she’d been deceived yet
again.
Ash was straddling her body, both hands wrapped around her
neck in a grip of steel as he held her head just beneath the water’s surface.
The briny sting of saltwater in her nostrils sent panic rushing through her,
and she began to struggle like a wild animal, kicking while beating at his arms
and tearing at his flesh with her fingernails. It did no good other than to
exhaust all her strength. The hands around her throat were immovable. He would
not be budged.
A primitive scream escaped her in a short trail of bubbles,
accomplishing nothing at all but to deprive her of what little breath she had
left. The sapphire eyes that were coldly fixed on her seemed to blur and waver
as the rippling water obstructed her vision. She felt dizzy. Her pulse banged
out a violent tempo of terror.
Air! Oh God, I need air…I can’t breathe…please, for God’s
sake, let go…let go…
In a final desperate bid for oxygen she inhaled reflexively,
and her starving lungs ached and burned as they sucked in the stagnant seawater
that mercilessly suffocated her.
The frenzied thrashing grew weaker. Her fingers slowly
released their clench on his wrists as her body became limp and still. The pale
light from the full moon above her dimmed and faded away, and a sleepy blanket
of darkness began to cover her with its peaceful comfort.
So this was what it was like to die.
It wasn’t so bad, really.
Blinking once, she relaxed and succumbed to the darkness.
The last sight her mortal eyes took in before the twilight
of death clouded them was his broad Cheshire grin, hovering just above the
water’s surface.
