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 was sitting on the edge of her desk, Mathias firmly planted between her legs. His hand was beneath her loose top, still stroking her ribs. Edmund bit back his smile. Of course. He should’ve thought of that. Mathias was all for the tease.

“Finish your phone call?” His tone was far less playful now, and without the barrier of the wall between them, Edmund smelled the whiskey that coated his words. “The lovely Darby and I were about to discuss why it is you don’t take vampires for granted. Care to join us?”

Edmund hesitated as he drank them in. “Is your leg still bothering you?” he asked, closing the door behind him. “I knew you should have stayed home tonight.”

Mathias scowled and pulled away from Darby. “Stop treating me like a bloody baby. It’s fine.”

“Well, something’s wrong. What is it?”
