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.

“Eat, drink, and be bloody pissed,” he muttered, downing the rest of his whiskey.

Lyle appeared without a word and refilled his glass. His mild gaze didn’t waver as Mathias sipped the alcohol, but when he held up the bottle in silent query, Mathias shook his head.

“Probably shouldn’t, as good as it feels,” Mathias grumbled. “I’ll be told off, you see. And heaven forbid I give our dear Edmund more to worry about.”

Lyle set the bottle back down, his face thoughtful. “Like how to keep your multiple personalities straight with the police?” At Mat’s glare, he shrugged. “Don’t worry, I’m not going to say anything to them. I just kept referring to you as ‘that British guy’ when they were questioning me. If Darby trusts you, that’s good enough for me. Though I don’t get why you didn’t just say you were a friend of Edmund’s when you came in the first time. Why the talk about looking for your girlfriend?”
