Third Bite Lucky

Jessica has been given a career-killing assignment: no-one has ever written a worthwhile piece on the secretive Benart family, but she has six weeks to do so. Fortunately, Robert Morel, a senior executive for Benart Industries, takes pity on her and agrees to introduce her to the family. But soon, it's not just his connections she desires - his smouldering good looks and warm smile make her stomach dance. Jessica struggles to keep the relationship professional until her assignment is over - and fails.

In 700 years, Lucien Benart has given his heart to a mortal woman twice, and suffered for it each time. On top of that, mixing with mortals is now forbidden. But when a nosy reporter mistakes him for his cousin, he can't stop himself from responding to her heartfelt plea for help. Now, he must juggle not only his family's need for secrecy with helping Jessica write a story that will save her career, but his heart's desire with his past's warning.

What Jessica doesn't see is how ancient the Benart Family truly is.
What she doesn't see is how her connection to them has drawn the attention of their most dangerous foe.
What she doesn't see, until too late, is the enemy who stalks her every movement.
