Devil Mine (Walk Through Shadows Book Two)
"You're uncomfortable."
"For being paid for sex?" She looked up at him. "Why would that make me uncomfortable?"
"The money is for the time you spent on your hair, makeup, and then posing. Not for the rest of it." He took her hand and put the envelope in it. "The rest was just two people who got lost in a moment."
"Ah I see." She looked down at the envelope with a frown. "Well, thank you then."
"No, thank you for doing that for me. It was a huge help." She took a step back and bumped into the door jamb. "Em." She looked up as his hands cupped her face. "I'm still lost."
After suffering the loss of everyone she'd cared about all Emmeline Carter wanted a simple, uneventful life. Just when she'd begun to emerge from a deep mantle of pain to start living again he appeared and completely upended her world.
Balthazar was looking for somewhere to lay low for a few months. The apartment in a nondescript building in a quiet neighbourhood appeared to be the perfect choice. No one would think to look for him in the old slightly run down area of town. He could keep to himself and wait out the danger alone.
She is a complication he doesn't need but rather than walking away like he knows he should, he finds himself drawn to her. There's something different about Emmeline. Something he can't explain.
He is a predator. She should be a victim. Hunted by forces darker than either could imagine they will fight to keep each other alive.
