Evie Meyers’ life is one spent on the run.
Every minute of every day, her life is in danger if anyone should suspect the
truth about her ancestry. Her father was willing to risk everything to keep the
truth hidden, even from her, but the lies he fabricated were exposed when her
high school crush, Clay Jacobs, inadvertently stumbled upon her secret. His
discovery puts Evie at risk from a secret organization tasked with washing the
world clean of nonhumans—and Clay is one of its deadliest soldiers. Forced into
a war she doesn’t understand, all because of what she is, Evie is left with no
choice but to flee with her father to escape persecution.
When Clay reappears in her life, battle scarred
and mysterious, Evie is unprepared and terrified as he forces his way back into
her heart. When the battle catches up with her, and a tragic accident tears
apart the peace she discovered, she finds herself alone and without the
protection of her father, or her lover. Now, she needs to keep her secrets
hidden and learn to survive on her own in a world that wants her dead, all
while searching for the missing piece of her heart.
Exclusive Excerpt
“I know it’s crazy. We still barely know each
other. We only had a few months in high school, and then a few more days now.
It’s completely mental, but it feels right, doesn’t it?”
I blinked in response.
“Tell me that you don’t feel this intense pain
right here,” he placed his hand over my heart, “whenever we have to leave each
other, and I’ll go right now, because that would mean we don’t feel the same.”
“I can’t,” I said, placing my hand over his,
“because I do.”
“I hope you understand why I couldn’t risk coming
until I knew Lou had really left.”
“And you’re sure she has?”
He nodded. “I’m so sorry my family has messed
everything up again.”
I pressed one finger against his lips. “You’re
here now.”
“I am.”
“Dad’s asleep though.”
He chuckled. “Well, I guess you’ll just have to
keep me company instead.”
“I think I can do that.”
I held his hand and led him over to the single bed
in my room. Sitting on top of the mussed up covers, I pulled him down beside
me. “You can stay here tonight,” I said. “We can introduce you to Dad tomorrow
and see where we go from there.”
His face remained stoic as he assessed what I’d
said, and I began to worry I’d overstepped some invisible mark.
“That is, if you want to?” I added.
“Are you kidding me?” The corners of his mouth
lifted into a grin. “I’ve had two weeks of sleeping either in cars or in a
sleeping bag on the cold, hard concrete floor. A bed is a dream come true.
Getting to sleep beside a breathtaking girl as well? How could I even try
to refuse that?”
After kicking off his shoes and socks, he wrapped
his arms around me and dragged me down onto the mattress. A few lazy kisses
later, I eventually succumbed to sleep. Truthfully we didn’t really fit side by
side on the small bed, but the lack of room was a small sacrifice when it meant
knowing that he was safe and that we were together.
During the night, his lips pressed against my
shoulder and throat, causing me to shift in place and move closer to him until
our bodies were wrapped tightly together. His arm wrapped around me and his
face pressed against the back of my neck.
“Hmm, Evie,” he mumbled before his breathing evened
out again.
When I woke the next morning, his arms were still
wrapped around me. The fingers of one hand had found their way up underneath my
top to caress the skin just below my breasts. I was lying there, trying to will
his hand higher—or maybe lower—when I heard the sound of a curtain being drawn
and a sudden influx of sunlight caused me to be blinded temporarily.
“Get the hell away from my daughter, and get the
fuck out of my house!”

About the Author
Michelle Irwin
Michelle Irwin has been many things in her
life: a hobbit taking a precious item to a fiery mountain; a young child
stepping through the back of a wardrobe into another land; the last human
stranded not-quite-alone in space three million years in the future; a young
girl willing to fight for the love of a vampire; and a time-travelling madman
in a box. She achieved all of these feats and many more through her voracious
reading habit. Eventually, so much reading had to have an effect and the cast
of characters inside her mind took over and spilled out onto the page.
Michelle lives in sunny Queensland in the land down under with her surprisingly patient husband and ever-intriguing daughter, carving out precious moments of writing and reading time around her accounts-based day job. A lover of love and overcoming the odds, she primarily writes paranormal and fantasy romance.
