    About this ebook

    Four months have passed since Ellie’s heart was broken by her cheating boyfriend, Gerrid. Sick of mourning, she sets out in search of a man to make her forget. Madame Eve of 1Night Stand arranges for Ellie to meet just the man at Nocturnal Nightclub in Miami. Bryce is not only sexy as sin but full of mystery. He does things no man should be capable of. Ellie might question his fast speed, cold hands, and even the way he bites at her skin―if he wasn’t so determined to awaken the part of her that’s been buried by lies.

    Days have passed since Bryce’s last feeding and his vampire hungers demand to be sated. But feeding is not his only intention. Ellie seeks to be a different woman, to gain power for herself, and Bryce plans to push her to discover it. To show her she can do things she never thought possible and force her to see the strength she yearns for already lives inside of her.

    Ellie will have to choose, expose all of herself, or remain hidden in the dark shadows. But Bryce will have to make a choice of his own—let her go or keep Ellie forever?

      ~DEDICATION~

      For Lisa and Heather who are wonderfully positive, supportive

      and are simply fantastic ladies.

      Also for Kate Richards who held a world of patience

      through the editing of this story.

      Chapter One

      Broken heart. Endless tears. Ellie was sick of mourning the loss of her last asshole boyfriend, Gerrid, who stomped on her heart because the word faithful didn’t hold any meaning in his vocabulary.

      All you need to do is purr and you’re a total sex kitten, Kenna said. That date of yours is going to get a hard-on the second he sees you.

      Her best friend was smokin’ herself. With her blue eyes and blonde hair—dressed in a short, plaid shirt and white blouse tied up to show her mid-section, she looked like a typical Barbie. A school girl?

      Don’t knock it, Kenna retorted. This outfit has gotten me laid a few times over.

      Commitment never appealed to Kenna, but she wasn’t a slut either. More of a playgirl―she loved the benefits of the single life and lived it to the fullest. Ellie tried to think the same way. Once she’d loved and loved hard. Now, she’d given up on the idea and hoped to walk in Kenna’s shoes. You ready to go?

      Kenna grabbed onto her own breasts and squeezed them. Ready.

      Ellie headed to the front door, laughing. She owned the luxurious condo not because of her job at Transatlantic Bank as a financial advisor. It paid well enough, but she purchased the house from the funds of her father’s estate five years ago.

      At the front door, she stepped outside and the steamy Miami summer night caused her skin to flush. A month ago, she’d enlisted the services of Madame Eve, who owned the matchmaking service 1Night Stand. She didn’t want to find the man of her dreams, simply wanted a one-night stand to leave a lasting impression on her body.

      After locking the door, she glanced over at Kenna. Thanks for coming along—I might be after some action, but in case he’s a creep, you’re my escape route.

      Kenna chuckled. Look at you, Miss Nympho.

      I just need something to make myself feel better. I’m sick of being in the dumps.

      Kenna wiggled her eyebrows. What you need is a hard reminder there’s plenty of good still left in the world.

      A big, hard reminder, eh?

      Kenna nodded, grinning from ear-to-ear. An oversized one, hopefully.

      Falling into stride with her friend, she walked briskly down the street. The sooner she got to the bar,
