Kiss The Dark

Sold into marriage to a reclusive man. Megan is dragged to a clandestine midnight ceremony and delivered to Gabriel North. Megan must spend 30 days married to Mr. North before she may finally be free forever. The only problem is that he marries every year only to annul the marriage and his brides are never heard from again. No one knows anything about him except that he is extraordinarily wealthy, and he has an estate high on the mountain above the city that no one is brave enough to visit. Before this Megan Steele had the perfect life. She was a wealthy heiress from a prominent family. Her days were filled with family, travel, parties, and society. Expected to marry at eighteen but unable to bear the thought of leaving her perfect life she turned down one offer of marriage after another. Four years and four suitors rejected, Megan has been proposed to for a fifth time. The suitor is the son of her father's investment partner. Megan made a fatal error with this refusal and placed her desire for freedom above her father's company. She finds herself sold into a forced marriage to Mr. Gabriel North to recoup her father's investment funds. More than that though, Megan swears there is something dark about Mr. North, something dangerous, something otherworldly. Where is the staff that keeps caring for them? How does his house keep changing? Why did his friend call him sire?

A Plan and A Prisoner

After spending the better part of an hour assessing South's attack from every angle neither Gabriel nor Afton could make sense of it. The attack wasn't rational, and this worried Gabriel immeasurably. South had to know that North's army could deflect anything that was brought against it here where they were strongest.

The brothers led by Shelton were at this moment fortifying the magical shield that protected the wall. There was no way South's army was coming through, especially with North here. What was the play and what did his brother stand to gain by sticking his head out like this other than getting it chopped off?

A sudden thought gave Gabriel a thrill of fear. What if the play wasn't about breaching the wall in Tetra? What if it was about getting to Megan back in the human world like the hotel attack had been? This seemed like a possibility and Gabriel brought it up with Afton.
