She lives in Hampshire, UK with her husband and their four children. She is a proud member of the Romantic Novelists\u2019 Association.<\/p>\n When she\u2019s not writing, she likes to watch films and TV shows \u2013 anything from rom-coms to superheroes to science fiction movies.<\/p>\n EXCERPT<\/p>\n Cami Wilson, the hybrid he was sworn to protect, had aroused him more than any other woman, and he hadn\u2019t even kissed her yet.<\/p>\n Dammit!<\/em><\/p>\n Therein was the problem. He couldn\u2019t kiss her, and he couldn\u2019t touch her, not intimately. The sobering thought brought him thundering back to reality.<\/p>\n For them to be near each other was toxic\u2014she\u2019d proved it by her heated reaction. She was sexy and passionate, like an exotic flower about to burst into bloom, but she appeared incapable of accepting the grim repercussions. It was his responsibility to stop this before it got out of hand. What if he\u2019d gone further and touched her exposed skin, kissed her pale, inviting neck? Could he ever forgive himself for causing her untold pain? What if his touch was too much for her to bear and it had killed her?<\/p>\n At that moment he despised himself for what he had to do.<\/p>\n He ground his molars and shoved her away, even though his body implored otherwise, even though it went against everything his heart screamed at him.<\/p>\n Chest heaving, her eyes flashed open. \u2018Joseph\u2026?\u2019<\/p>\n \u2018Stop, Cami,\u2019 he uttered, his voice ragged, laced with regret. \u2018I can\u2019t do this.\u2019<\/p>\n She stared back. Thick lashes glistened with tears, her head shook in denial.<\/p>\n His hands fisted. \u2018Answer me truthfully, would you be able to settle for this? Never going further than a touch through a damn fabric barrier?\u2019\u00a0He couldn\u2019t, and the desire in her eyes, ablaze like tiny green flames, implied she couldn\u2019t either.<\/p>\n \u2018We can work it out, please, Joseph,\u2019<\/p>\n Her plea crushed his heart, but his face hardened and he moved away from her, determined to make her see the truth no matter how much it tortured him. \u2018No. It could kill you. I will not let that happen.\u2019<\/p>\n She blinked. Tears trickled from emerald-green pools onto flushed cheeks. \u2018What are we going to do?\u2019<\/p>\n \u2018Nothing,\u2019 he replied, the effort of sounding devoid of emotion too painful to bear. But bear it he must\u2014for her. \u2018I\u2019m still your guardian. Nothing\u2019s changed.\u2019<\/p>\n She swiped at the tears. \u2018Joseph, please\u2026\u2019 Her voice broke.<\/p>\n He didn\u2019t reply. How could he when another word would have him begging for her <\/em>forgiveness?<\/p>\n Hatred flashed in her eyes and a second later, she fled from his room.<\/p>\n Her parting image slashed across his mind like a vicious scar, would be with him for all his immortal years.<\/p>\n Please come back, my love.<\/em><\/p>\n The ground caved beneath his feet and he crumpled to his knees. She hated him. The thought ravished his soul and tore at his heart, but if it was the price to he had pay to protect her, so be it.<\/p>\n Then why the hell did it feel so wrong?<\/em>
