Blood
runs soul-deep. Cormac hasn’t been the same since the night the High Moon Pack
was attacked. With his magic weakened, he’s consumed by a bloodlust he hasn’t
felt since he first became a vampire. His need to replenish his power makes him
a danger to his last remaining family member, and his hunger makes him
careless. And that’s just the beginning of his troubles. Feeding from pack beta
Liam Benson was supposed to slake his appetite, not leave him craving more.
Simon
Osborne and Gray Townsend are trying to fight a being history says shouldn’t
exist—one with all three types of magic. The pack must use all of their
resources to combat the mysterious triad, even turning to the shady Council of
Mages for help. While Cormac struggles to reconcile his past failures with his
current desires, Simon must attempt the impossible: an alliance between mind,

World-renowned
conductor David Somers never wanted the investment firm he inherited from his
domineering grandfather. He only wanted to be a composer. But no matter how he
struggles, David can’t translate the music in his head into notes on paper.
When a
guest violinist at the Chicago Symphony falls ill, David meets Alex Bishop, a
last-minute substitute. Alex’s fame and outrageous tattoos fail to move David.
Then Alex puts bow to string, and David hears the brilliance of Alex’s soul.
David has
sworn off relationships, believing he will eventually drive away those he
loves, or that he'll lose them as he lost his wife and parents. But Alex is
outgoing, relaxed, and congenial—everything David is not—and soon makes dents
in the armor around David's heart. David begins to dream of Alex, wonderful
dreams full of music. Becoming a composer suddenly feels attainable.
David’s
fragile ego, worn away by years of his grandfather’s disdain, makes losing
control difficult. When David’s structured world comes crashing down, his
fledgling relationship with Alex is the first casualty. Still, David hears
Alex’s music, haunting and beautiful. David wants to love Alex, but first he
must find the strength to acknowledge himself.
