He slipped on steel-toe boots. While not the most attractive footwear, they were effective weapons. For years he\u2019d imagined using those boots to kick Edrik\u2019s glistening sharp teeth down his throat. Tonight he\u2019d nearly had the chance, but unfortunately Edrik had been right. Jocelyn was hungry from traveling day and night to reach Charlie. Moving by daylight was draining enough, but he had neither the time nor the inclination to seek the nourishment crucial to his survival.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, at the moment he was in the mood to take what he needed.<\/p>\n<p>He strode through the rain-slicked streets, following the collective throb of mortal hearts beating in time to overly loud music. The individual pulses randomly fluctuated when each was excited by too much alcohol, drugs, or impending sexual encounters. Every now and then he caught the scent of other vampires. Like the rogue he was, he didn\u2019t seek them out, and they left him alone. Most vampires were social creatures and felt some comfort knowing others were close by. Not Jocelyn. He saw them as yet another form of danger.<\/p>\n<p>Jocelyn slipped past security and into the glaring, noisy mass of blood-warmed flesh where he waited for a meal to approach him. One always did.<\/p>\n<p>She was tall, dark-haired, pale-eyed, and wore a low-cut black dress that just brushed her lean thighs. Some might consider her small, catlike features attractive. Jocelyn didn\u2019t care if she looked like the back end of a defecating warthog. Pleasure wasn\u2019t on his mind. Food was.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou look a little lost.\u201d She stared into his eyes and bit her red-painted lower lip in a manner meant to be seductive.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m just looking.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCute accent.\u201d She brushed his arm with her shoulder first and then with the points of her small breasts. \u201cLooking for what?\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Blurb:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Jocelyn has chased his nemesis for centuries. He swore that nothing or no one would stand between him and revenge on the creature that destroyed his life. That same rival leads Jocelyn to the one person who can reconnect him to the human race.<\/p>\n<p>Art student Charlie has no idea that her family history binds her to a creature of legend\u2013until he appears in the form of a tall, beautiful man with a thirst for revenge. The last thing she wants is to follow his orders, but if she intends to stay alive, she has no choice.<\/p>\n<p><em><span class=\"a-text-italic\">Note: The Darkness Therein was previously published.
