Sequel to 'The Unchaste'. When past calls you, you must not ever answer it. You must not turn back and look at it. It wants you for itself and you must not let it take you... ...unless that's what you really want. Delilah had just braced herself to move ahead in her life when the past comes knocking at her door. And when old lovers make a return, the old demons follow too, quiet and barefoot.

Nothing good comes knocking in the early hours of the morning. Mara Swift knows this, so why she bothered to answer the door only the Depths could tell. But she did, and now her husband is dead, her home is a pile of ash, her life is in danger, and the only way to safety is a long, treacherous route that she couldn't even point to on a map. Her guide on this treacherous route is her husband's friend and fellow rebel, Eli. All Mara knows of Eli is that her husband trusted him--hardly a ringing endorsement considering Davy's abrupt and violent departure from the mortal plane. But the wife of a dead, uncovered undercover rebel can't be picky about allies. Mara is grieving, Eli is keeping secrets, and neither makes for particularly good company. But shared suffering leads to mutual understanding, mutual understanding blossoms into reluctant friendship, and reluctant friendship? Only time can tell what comes of that.

When the three of them take off to college, everything changes. Colton begins drinking excessively and sleeping with countless amounts of women while Jace dates his girlfriend Riley whom he met when they were all juniors in high school. Payton is completely certain of her feelings for Colton and she feels that she will never love another man while she patiently waits for Colton to realize just how much she cares about him. However, a drunken night between Jace and Payton changes everything, confounding her and awakening feelings for Jace that she never even knew that she had and in the end, leaving her torn between the two.

"Do you normally make-out with the people you're hired to kill? It doesn't strike me as very professional." "Put the gun down," Gabriel panted, not answering her. "Why on earth would I do that?" "Because you're not going to shoot me," Gabriel replied, noting that she still had the safety on. "I bet you've never shot anything in your life." She studied his gun with a smile. "Maybe you're right," she replied. Then she pointed the gun back at him, taking off the safety and cocking it. "Are you willing to bet your life on it?" she asked him coolly. *** He didn't know anything about her - her name, age, even what she looked like. He only knew it was his job to kill her. But when Gabriel comes face to face with his latest target, he finds himself completely mesmerized and can't pull the trigger. Left with few viable options, he decides to kidnap her. Unfortunately for him, she's not willing to come quietly. Instead, their encounter sets off an intense game of cat and mouse, unraveling Gabriel's entire world in the process.

Your girl's got priors, alright? Hiding a corpse will send Isla back to the slammer. The client's just a Tourist, so Isla is certain nobody will notice. But you know what they say: The only things certain in life are death, taxes, and a handsome vampire poking his fangs where they don't belong. Gregor, a vampire private detective, has been hired to find another vamp's misplaced favorite bloodbag-- I mean, barista. Greg knows the fraudulent and distractingly attractive psychic, Isla, is the key to the barista's whereabouts, but he just can't put his fangs on what it is she's hiding from him. If her little whoopsie is discovered, Isla fears both the otherworldly authorities and an ancient vampire will have her throat. So she does what any girl would do in her situation. She hires Greg to find the risen barista for her first so that she can undo the resurrection. Sparks fly and blood splatters as Greg and Isla investigate Philadelphia's secret paranormal society, throw literal bones at the werewolf mafia, commune with the spirits of dead vampire-brides, dodge arrest by the magic fuzz, and occasionally pop off for late night cheesesteaks.
