    About this ebook

    A year has passed since the fire that nearly ended Elisa’s life, and her physical healing has been nothing short of miraculous. Her spirit, however, remains troubled.


    Adding PTSD to a lifetime of trauma and abuse has turned simple tasks into monumental challenges. So when she runs into her old friend Luke, she’s not sure how to feel. Though she longs to explore the passion lurking in their connection, trust is a struggle.


    What she doesn't know is that Luke holds secrets of his own—secrets that just might answer her every question, including what exactly she is... if she can bear the cost of that knowledge.


    Note: This paranormal romance contains graphic sex scenes, strong language and references to abuse.

    Author

    Simone Beaudelaire

    In the world of the written word, Simone Beaudelaire strives for technical excellence while advancing a worldview in which the sacred and the sensual blend into stories of people whose relationships are founded in faith but are no less passionate for it. Unapologetically explicit, yet undeniably classy, Beaudelaire’s 20+ novels aim to make readers think, cry, pray... and get a little hot and bothered. In real life, the author’s alter-ego teaches composition at a community college in a small western Kansas town, where she lives with her four children, three cats, and husband – fellow author Edwin Stark. As both romance writer and academic, Beaudelaire devotes herself to promoting the rhetorical value of the romance in hopes of overcoming the stigma associated with literature’s biggest female-centered genre.

      It’s my sister’s fault that I’m standing outside a hair salon on the Saturday of my anniversary, too scared to go in. I’m not sure I was this nervous on my actual wedding day. Androulla had been bugging me for months that my look needed “updating” an

      I walked down the road with a hunched back and a wet cigarette in my mouth—the fire had died a while back. My hands were tucked into the pockets of my jacket, and my hair fell over my face, limiting my sight. But I wasn’t really seeing where I was go
