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.

“You like him?” she asked. When the man nodded, she indulged her urge and beamed in delight. “I found him.”

A single brow crooked upward. “I guess it pays to be lost sometimes.”

He had yet to look away from her, and though their bodies weren’t nearly as close as she had first thought, Darby felt the rush of appreciation leap between them. “So what brought you into the club tonight?” she said, striving to keep her voice level.

The man shrugged before shifting to mirror her position, his elbows resting against the bar as he regarded the stage. “I could say I fancied some good music, but that would be a lie. Turns out, that’s just an unexpected benefit.”

Her stomach pitched in disappointment, but she dismissed it as pointless. What else could she expect from an obvious out-of-towner? She hadn’t been around long enough to garner a reputation that would attract strangers looking to satisfy their curiosity.
