"Marin, come to me."

In a swift motion he tilted her face up toward his and closed the gap between them, eliciting electrical tingles throughout Marin's entire body as his lips firmly pressed against hers. Though she tried to protest, yelling in her mind and resisting the sensation of the kiss, her resolve crumbled. She began to lose herself in the delicious, swirling sensation that was sparking through her. Her predicament, her name, her very being felt as though it was floating out of her grasp, and she could not have been less bothered . . . what did any of it matter now that she was here, with him?

Marin Huber is accustomed to the quiet routine of her life, living on her aunt's small farm in Vermont, taking care of her hens, and keeping to herself. At 19 years old, she's determined to put off college or anything remotely exciting until she knows exactly what she wants to do--plus, her aunt needs her. 

However, not everything goes as planned. After one disturbing night featuring an intoxicating stranger, Marin's entire life gets turned on its head. Soon everything familiar is stripped away, and Marin finds herself trapped in the Court of Vines, entangled in strange politics and the even stranger Weinenvolk--including the darkly handsome fae lord who seems to want to keep her there forever.

He watched as her eyes skimmed over his dark eyes and black hair with barely a reaction. He felt his pride twinge a bit so he went further. Lifting his hands, he let the blood drip from them. Her eyes widened slightly and her chin rose. She looked at his hands then back at him. His dark eyes gleamed in a challenge. "You've not harmed me or mine, faery." She spoke out loud. "Blood does not scare me and neither do you. Keep your dog on its leash." Then she turned and calmly walked back inside. Intrigued now, he went to the window of the house and watched as she reassured her mother that the dog was gone "I'll see you tonight, reckless child." He promised softly. **** Marcus felt himself beginning to wake and struggled to stay in the dream. But it was no use. His eyes opened and he released the pillow his hand was gripping. It was the same one that she had laid her head on every night. His head went into the pillow heavily for a moment, breathing in her faint scent. He hated and treasured dreams like that with equal fervor. He rolled over on his back and stared at the ceiling. It had been decades since she'd been forced to break that promise. He lifted his hand and touched the ring that had been her last gift. It had been decades, but it was yesterday. ***I did not skimp on the steamy scenes so consider yourselves warned ok? There are also a few violent scenes that I'll try to remember to put a warning before so you'll have a heads up. Any of the pictures/artwork were found online so I reserve no rights to those just the story. But I do reserve all rights to the story. This story runs concurrently with "Bloody Desire" and "All Roads Lead to Rome" Awesome new book cover is courtesy of @ScarlettOlivier. She's awesome. Check her stuff out.
