His shoes were filling with dirt, his clothes were practically useless, and he was sure his body should be hurting. But he didn’t care. His senses were filled with this wonderful woman. Suddenly, instead of fighting off the b...

“What the hell is going on?” Julian whispered.A group of men wordlessly pacing Ainsley’s front garden, with more heading down Princeton to join them. They didn’t seem threatening, exactly, but there was something driving them that made it feel like their silence could explode into violence at the...
The thirteenth tread was indeed a tiny trap door. Though the shag carpet had given her hope that perhaps the journal wasn’t missing after all, she’d been sad to see an actual hinge at the back of the step when she removed it. Sure it would make it easier to open now, but i...
But by the time she and Julian were in the hospital’s glass elevator, Grace could feel the electricity between them escalate further. She tried to distract herself by looking out over the Springton Falls. The oaks that stretched over the water were a brilliant red. &...
She was curled up in an armchair, just outside the ring of toasty warmth the fire still provided. Below her, on the rag rug at the hearth, most of the other adults in the house lounged under throw blankets, roasting marshmallows, leaning on each other and talking about old times, as siblings will...
For a moment he couldn’t remember where he was. Then it all came back, and he couldn’t keep the smile from his face. He turned to Thea. She looked like a sleeping angel, dark hair spread across the green grass, a slight smile on her face like she wa...

No one loved Halloween as much as Mary. And she’d given it all up to impress Erik, who was going trick-or-treating w...
It wasn’t as bad as she had feared. “So how’s the estate going?” Julian asked. “It’s going fine. Slowly. I’m hitting a wall about my dad’s books.” “What kind of a wall?” He leaned forward with interest. &nbs...
She had kicked off the sheet at some point in the night and he must have pulled off his t-shirt. Her back and legs were deliciously chilled from the air conditioning. Her chest and cheek soaked in the soothing heat that radiated out of Erik’s skin. She opened her eyes. The...
He felt exhilarated and claustrophobic all at the same time. As soon as the cold night air hit his lungs he calmed down and slowed his pace. He would walk to the hill and back, and by the time he returned he would know what to do. He was an immensely disciplined person. Mi...
Far below him, the peal of church bells echoed between rhythmic gusts of wind. But the intervals were too regular, and the bells were too soft. Something wasn’t right. He woke up suddenly, blinded by the harsh afternoon sun pouring in mercilessly th...
The wind blew the long grass, and the swelling moon lit the sky. All she wanted was to sink into her wolf and run the woods and creek. She could almost taste the crystal water from here.Instead, she exhaled and lifted her palms. After a moment a tiny blue flash of lighting began to dance between ...
He hadn’t eaten breakfast yet. And the voice coming through the speakerphone grated his ears.Justin and Will sat in the guest chairs in front of his desk, listening. He didn’t want to come across like a fucking pussy in front of them, so he pretended to think it was funny.“Did you find the book y...
Juice and seeds oozed out enticingly. Luke watched every movement of knife on tomato from his perch on the stool across from her. At first she had pushed bits of what she was preparing to him, thinking he was watching her prepare the food because he was hungry. But he hadn...
