The darkness holds more than just secrets…
Marked for death, Sabine escaped from her home and fled to a human city.
But the Wild Hunt will never give up.

Even the best-laid plans eventually fall apart…
When a charismatic stranger arrives, Sabine is unwittingly drawn to him and his power. Keeping her distance is nearly impossible, especially after a life debt is called due and she’s tasked with helping him steal a rare artifact.
In order to break the magical barriers protecting the item and save her companions, Sabine will be forced to drop her glamour and reveal her true identity.
The Fae aren’t the only ones hunting her.
And the most dangerous monsters aren’t always confined to the dark.

Sabine tensed, scanning
the dead-end alleyway for a place to hide. If they climbed the trellis again,
they’d be spotted. It was too risky to try to use her magic to shroud them from
view, but if the guards turned around, they’d be in clear view. It was unlikely
the guards would trouble her too much, but Dax would kill Malek if he found out
he’d accompanied her. Not even her mark on Malek’s wrist would stop him.
Yanking off her heavy
cloak, she tied it around her waist to cover her weapons and give the
appearance she wore a dress. With her hair unbraided and covering her ears, it
might be enough for the guards to overlook them. At the very least, they might
not recognize her right away and would assume they were two lovers engaging in
a quick tryst in the alley. Malek’s expression became quizzical, but she
ignored him and gripped his shirt tightly.
“Kiss me,” she whispered
urgently, aware they only had seconds to pull off this ruse.
“What?”
She pulled him toward her
just as footsteps rapidly approached. Awareness filled his eyes, and he lowered
his head, pressing his lips against hers. She put her arms around his neck,
listening for the guards.
Malek wrapped his arms
around her, drawing her even closer. Focus was critical, but his nearness affected
all of her senses. Oh, this was a very
bad idea. The taste of his lips and the scent of his skin were heady,
threatening to overwhelm her from pure sensation. Despite the danger of the
approaching guards, he took his time, tasting and exploring her mouth. Malek did have magic, but she couldn’t tell
how much because it was tightly controlled and suppressed.
She whimpered and softened
against his body, unable to resist him. Part of her was tempted to claim she
was merely playing a part, but she wanted this. She wanted him.
Unlocking his magic wouldn’t be difficult, but she wasn’t willing to force him
into revealing his secrets before he was ready. This kiss was only a hint of
what could be between them, and she suspected this brief taste of him was never
going to be enough.
