YA/Paranormal Romantic Suspense
What
if we knew how to live forever? Is any cost too great?
Ava
Brandt has been plagued with indecision her entire life; her
direction influenced by the people around her, not her heart. When a
chance encounter with a stranger challenges everything she thought
she remembered from her frightening past, she must confront hidden
memories to survive.
Ben
Pearson, descendant of a famous physician, is living proof of his
ancestor’s miraculous discovery two hundred years ago. Through a
combination of blood transfusions from unsuspecting donors, he
uncovered his own fountain of youth. As an unwilling convert, Ben
continues to fight for those who are dying; their murderers content
to kill innocents to prolong their own lives, no matter the human
cost.
Finally
accepting the truth of her past and the dreams that have plagued her,
Ava comes face to face with her fears. But just as she comes to terms
with this new reality and new feelings for her ageless rescuer, she
finds herself in the middle of a battle that has raged and claimed
untold young lives for centuries.
His
lined face and ashen pallor compounded his beaten mien.
“If
the girls are pregnant, we know he isn’t after their blood. They’re
too old.”
“Is
it the babies?” Ava asked, feeling sick to her stomach.
He
shook his head. “Not in Shreveport anyway. There weren’t enough
girls and the pregnancies terminated were in the first few months.
There wouldn’t be enough blood to
make
them worthwhile.”
Ava
tried to look at it clinically and not see them as young scared girls
or babies, it was very difficult. She thought of Ben’s missing girl
from Louisiana, Adelphia Williams.
“Do
you think the missing girls are patients who figured out what was
going on and threatened to talk?”
“I
don’t know. Maybe. Or maybe something went wrong and he had to
dispose of the bodies.
SUPPORT THE IFLIST-
HK
lives in the frozen hinterlands of the far North. The long,
cold months provide ample opportunity to hunker down with her
computer and create adventures far more enticing than scraping ice
and getting frostbite.
Between
books HK reads voraciously. Anything with a good plot and
compelling characters are her broad parameters. One is as
likely to catch her with a copy of Don Quixote as with the latest
Kristen Ashley.
When
not writing or wowing the corporate world by day, HK practices
martial arts, plays with her dogs and matches wits with her teen.
Next winter she intends to brush up on her Spanish and escape the
cold for somewhere more tropical.
