BLURB:
Carly
Anders is hearing voices in her head. Another one of her kind is
trying to contact her. She knows of the malevolent freaks—others
who are eternal like her and seek out the weak to inflict pain upon.
For years, Carly has held up huge protective walls to keep herself
and her secrets safe. Now, physically and mentally exhausted, Carly
needs protection and rest.
She
accepts the invitation to visit an internet friend who needs help
appraising a collection of antique photographs. The situation is not
ideal, but Carly hopes a male presence in her life will deter the
determined suitor who haunts her thoughts and dreams.
Daniel
Tremont is not what Carly is expecting.
The
former funeral director has a secret of his own. Not only is he
eternal like Carly, he is her creation from all those years
before—her abomination she thought she killed.
Daniel
has been searching for Carly for years. He knows she is the piece of
his life that he has been missing for so long. Now that he has found
her, he has no intentions of letting her go.
Excerpt
One:
Often
she thought about herself, what she had become in life after her
drowning when she was only four.
A
mutant. An abomination. A freak.
She knew
there were others like her out there in the world as well. Xander,
for example. Even Embree, but Embree was dormant. Carly’s senses
told her that Embree was alive, but she was alone and in a very dark
place.
Just the
thought of what might have become of Embree caused a chill to rise on
her skin and she shuddered. Would that happen to her someday, too?
Maybe
Daniel was ‘something else’, as well.
Sometimes
she would be walking down the street and her eyes would connect with
a perfect stranger, and she knew by instinct alone they were
different. She knew, and they knew, too. But neither spoke a word. It
was in the eyes. Whether they were like her, she was unsure.
And
Daniel had those eyes as well. Eyes that had the ability to draw her
in if she allowed him. Eyes that were an unusual, ethereal pale blue.
But she
didn’t fear him. Although mentally tired, she was physically strong
when threatened. That was Xander’s gift to her. Just one encounter
with him and she was suddenly able to leap higher, run faster than
ever before. If confronted, she was certain she could outmatch her
opponent. Knowing her abilities gave her the confidence that helped
her cope alone all of these years.
Maybe it
was a mistake being here. It wasn’t too late to leave a note of
goodbye and leave.
