Part 1 – Chapter 23
Dear Kayla, I had this cat when I was a kid. Orange tabby, skinny thing, hated everybody. Except me. That cat loved me. I loved him, too, though I didn’t know it until he got hit by a car. Before that, I thought OJ was a menace. (That was his name, OJ. After orange juice. Not very creative, I know, but I was eight.) Once the cat died and he wasn’t around anymore, I realized how much I loved him. That stupid cat had been my best friend, but I only realized it in hindsight. Funny thing, isn’t…-

Part 1 – Chapter 10
I found the letter in the mailbox this time. No mystery appearances on the kitchen table, but still a big mystery about why it came in the first place. Because I don’t know this guy. Mr. Mysterious ignored my threat to turn his letters over to the detective, so he either thinks I’m bluffing or he doesn’t care. I stand in the kitchen under the flickering light and read the letter again. The verse means nothing to me. Not that it should, because it originated from the mind of a lunatic. I…-

Part 1 – Chapter 35
Fiona and Claire find me in the kitchen, huddled on the floor in a corner with my back against the cabinets and my knees drawn up to my chin. Glancing around, Claire asks, “Why did you open all the cabinets and drawers?” “They were open when I got here.” My laugh sounds unhinged. “The resident ghost thinks it’s hilarious to do stuff like that.” The sisters look at each other, then at me. Claire suggests gently, “Why don’t we all sit at the table and have a chat?” “A chat…-

Chapter
Ch9. Duke Mortus
Creed Odessa's hands trembled while I held them. She wouldn't even look at me while she recalled the tale that led her here into my territory. The scars on her arms became more prominent to my dragon. He honed in with his intense eyes memorizing each purple scar that littered her frail body. For six months, she endured more than I thought a human could. Humans were said to be frail, fragile, and weak. Odessa was more vulnerable than the ordinary human. Her body held enough meat on her bones to still…-

Ch18. Their First
Odessa My legs gripped tightly between the dragon's neck and shoulders, my arms wrapped around the base until he stood up at full height. I had never flown in a plane or been in a hot-air balloon, but surely it can't be that different, right? I was wrong, so wrong. His leathery wings behind me moved up and down gracefully, pushing the air between him and the ground. Within a few thrusts of his wings, we were in the air as if we didn't weigh a thing. Oh, and I screamed. I screamed a lot. My grip…-

Part 1 – Chapter 8
He notices me right away. He was about to take a drink, but freezes with his glass of beer halfway to his mouth. It’s too late to pretend I didn’t see him. So I send him a curt nod and walk over to the bar. I slide onto a stool and look in the opposite direction, examining the décor. A lighted mirror behind the bar displays shelves of liquor. Red leather booths line one end of the room and the opposite wall. At the other end of the room, a pool table is brightly lit from above with a lamp…-

Part 1 – Chapter 24
It’s Saturday. The rain has fallen steadily day and night this week, tapering to drizzle only to gather strength and pound the saturated ground once again. I sit in my office with Dante’s letter in my hands as I gaze out the window into the dreary afternoon. The Sound is a murky iron gray, its waters uneasy, whipped to white peaks by gusty winds. The house exhales an occasional wistful sigh, but otherwise is silent. It’s been that way since my talk with Fiona last Monday. Eerily silent, as if…-

Part 1 – Chapter 11
His mouth is somehow both soft and hard. It becomes evident quickly that this man not only knows how to give an incredible, barely-there butterfly kiss, he also knows how to give a kiss that’s devouring. And so. Damn. Good. He holds me tightly in his arms as he takes my mouth and I shiver against him, skin on skin, my pulse flying. I’m not even sure if I’m holding myself up or he is. We kiss passionately until he moans into my mouth and pulls away, panting. He cups my breasts in his big…-

Part 1 – Chapter 36
I stare wide-eyed at the coin and the ring with my pulse throbbing and a scream trapped inside my chest, knowing that there’s something extremely significant here that I’m missing. When I glance up at Claire, she says calmly, “Call the detective.” I whisper, “How did my ring fall through the ceiling?” “Call the detective, Kayla. We don’t have much time.” “What do you mean? What’s happening?” Outside, the storm is gathering power. Rain lashes the windows and roof.…-

Chapter
Ch10. Creed
Creed My dragon's fangs had already descended again once we reached inside the forest. Bits of black blood dripped from our prey. I was no cannibal, I could not stomach the idea to eat someone with the same face as I, but that didn't matter to my dragon. He was an animal. Wolves often talked to their wolves; their wolves were more civilized than they really knew. Dragons were not. Shifting, the smoke swirled around me, quickly covering my body from the outside elements. The sparks flew as my dragon…-
