Mercy of These Bones

Four years ago, Mathias Larsen broke siring laws to save a lover’s life. Four months ago, that lover turned on him, leaving him for dead. Now Mathias has followed her path of death to Las Vegas, straight to the last vampire who wants to see him: his sire. The man he left for a woman who stabbed him in the back. Edmund has found love again with a nightclub owner, the very human Darby Bell. He doesn’t want to believe Mathias’s warnings, but a murder that hits too close to home gives him no choice. While he struggles to keep Mathias and Darby safe, emotions run high as old love collides with new. But the clock is ticking. The vampire Assembly is coming to town, the local police are alerted to Mathias’s nocturnal activities, and passions are flaring high. Time is running out. By the time death strikes again, all bets are off.

“Darby’s good,” he said. He leaned forward conspiratorially, pitching his voice lower. “Even spent the night last night.”

It took a second before her eyes went wide as saucers, and she slapped at his arm. “Get out of here! Good for you. It’s about fucking time.” She stopped, some of her excitement fading. “Wait. She doesn’t know you’re a vamp.”

Edmund grinned. “She does now.”

Another slap. “Get outof here!”

“Well, I’m glad you approve.”

“Fuck, it’s not about approving,” Neva said. “It’s about you finally getting some. You are too fine to be wasting yourself on your hand. Even for a vamp.”

He chuckled. Not many humans in Vegas knew he was a vampire, but Neva had been one of his first exceptions. The girl’s open nature and generous spirit inspired trust. Even Darby approved of her.

Edmund leaned his shoulder against the wall, making himself more comfortable. “How much have you had your ear to the ground lately?” he asked.
