Book blurb:
When
inquisitive antique dealer Cami Wilson learns she’s the revered offspring of an
immortal mother and a mortal father, it’s not just her hybrid status that has
her all flustered. The title comes with her very own super-sexy guardian.
Jaded
immortal Joseph Carlisle has only one thing on his mind; his sworn duty to
protect the hybrid from those who wish her harm. Anything else would be
complicated. That is until they meet.
Chemistry sizzles
between them but there’s a problem—the hybrid’s
curse. Cami’s touch, skin to skin, proves near fatal to her and all immortals,
Joseph included.
But the fated lovers discover her curse is the least of
their concerns when a friend’s deadly betrayal threatens to tear them apart
forever.

Excerpt:
He might have just saved her life, but
pinned to the freezing concrete by some wannabe hero was not her idea of fun. Cami Wilson shoved the unyielding wall of his
chest, fighting not only him but the rising panic. ‘Get the hell off me!’
The guy remained on top of her, using his
large frame to protect her from the chunks of smouldering metal hurtling to the
ground around her. Icy air met with fiery heat and smoke infused the atmosphere
like the fifth of November, but there were no sparkling fireworks to admire,
only the flaming inferno, which seconds earlier had been her car.
Maybe if she hadn’t been so intrigued by
the antique brooch she held in her hand or distracted by the weird, periodic
buzzing emitting from it, she might have seen him coming at her in full, rugby
tackle mode.
He lifted a little, easing the crushing
pressure on her ribs, but remained inches from her face. Glacier-blue eyes met
hers, captivating and intense. ‘Are you hurt?’
His gravelly voice did
something tingly to her insides. She went to speak, but no words came. Nothing
came to mind. Not the explosion. Not the contents of her shopping trolley
strewn all over Morrisons’ car park. Not the fact she could have been killed.
Somehow, none of it registered.
She gawped back at him
like a doe-eyed teenager, taking in the angular sweep of a jawline peppered
with dark stubble, and well-defined lips that parted invitingly as he drew in
his breath.
His gaze lingered on her
mouth in a breath-taking moment right out of one of those soppy rom-coms she liked
to watch.
Forget
burning cars and curious brooches… hel-lo, future husband.
Somewhere to her left,
an engine revved loudly, and he turned his head towards the sound. Overlong,
tousled hair tickled her cheek, and she got a faint whiff of citrus shampoo.
Hmm,
lovely…
A second later, his
attention returned to her. His grave expression burned with an urgency that
brought her down from the clouds. ‘Dammit! I asked if you were hurt.’
‘No, I…’
In a move so swift it
wasn’t humanly possible, he leapt to his feet and hauled her up beside him. The
brooch slipped from her gloved hand and landed on the ground.
The man cursed under his
breath and stooped to retrieve it. With an exasperated look, he waved it in
front of her as though she were a baby dropping her dummy for the hundredth
time. ‘You need to take more care of this. Don’t you know how important it is?’
Sudden indignation
flared. Cami snatched the jewel from his grasp and slipped it back into her
coat pocket. Okay, the guy rocked the sexy, just-rolled-out-of-bed look, but
his patronising attitude set her teeth on edge. What right did he have to tell
her what to do? And what on Earth did he know about a weird, vibrating brooch
she’d been given by her adoptive mother, the only clue she had to her past?
