Excerpt:
Sarah stood outside the house and watched while Brock unraveled the magic woven
around it. The demon fidgeted and paced, and on more than one occasion, she worried he would
run from her. She hoped, once inside, he would be able to find peace. Something in her gut told
her his jitters were not all due to the opening of old wounds. She realized she actually made
him nervous. When she’d caught him admiring her assets, she’d been anything but angry. His
roving eyes had sent moisture between her thighs and a longing that nearly had her shoving him
to the floor to sate her desire. Hot, inviting, he made her mouth water. She wondered if he tasted
anything like the spicy cinnamon scent she inhaled every time she got near him and decided she
needed to find out. Would it be in poor taste to seduce him when he was at his weakest? For
some reason, she didn’t care, and that was really out of character for her.
“Sarah?”
She looked up and met his dark, brown eyes, noting a twinkle of mischief in them.
“Find something you like?” he chuckled.
Shit. She’d been caught staring at his ass. Well, it wasn’t her fault he filled out a pair of
jeans like nobody’s business. Not to mention he was standing two steps up from her which put
the muscular perfection right at eye level. She curled her lips upward. “As a matter of fact, yes.
Yes, I did.” There, let him chew on that! She hoped he’d take it as a hint of her interest.
He tipped back his head in laughter. “Well, I guess I deserve that after I gawked at you.”
He pushed the door open, his features immediately schooled. Her heart ached for him and
longed to see the sexy smile again. Her new goal was to get him through this and help him move
on. She wanted to get to know the real Brock. The one who wasn’t in pain. “I’ll go first just to
make sure it’s safe.” He slipped past the threshold and disappeared. Sarah remained on the first
step, waiting for him to give her the all clear. Minutes later, he stuck his head out, his face ashen.
“You can come in.”
She made her way up the remaining steps and through the doorway, not sure what she
would find inside and half expecting her senses to be assaulted. She took in a deep breath and
found the air to be crisp and clean. She must have had a puzzled look on her face.
“The spell kept everything out so there’s no mildew or mold,” he stated matter of fact.
She glanced around the spacious kitchen and felt as if she’d stepped back in time. The
white porcelain refrigerator and gas range with its side storage compartment were state of the art
for the period when the house had been previously occupied. Everything glistened as if freshly
cleaned, waiting for the museum patrons to walk through the time capsule. She noticed Brock
no longer stood next to her so she moved across the linoleum floor to the beige carpeted living
room. She found him standing in the center, staring down at the floor.
“Brock?” She walked up and stood next to him. He didn’t respond and almost seemed to
be mesmerized except that his hands balled into fists then released, only to repeat the process.
Her heart fractured. Clearly, this was where he had found his mate. She reached out to touch him
but hesitated unsure how he would respond. “Brock, maybe this wasn’t a good idea. I think we
should leave.”
He lifted his head and glanced around the room. “No. I need to face my ghosts. I guess
I wasn’t expecting it to be this difficult.” He ran his fingers through his short, blond hair. “Hell,
I’m not really sure what I was expecting.”
It was heartbreaking to see him so vulnerable. This time, she didn’t stop herself from
placing a hand on his arm.
“Is this where…?” She couldn’t finish the question without her voice giving away her
emotions.
