Misty Quartermain met Sean Crosby in college. One night, before they’d met, he’d saved her from a vicious vampire attack and after that they become close friends. He’d shared his family secrets with her and took a little of her blood so that they’d always share a connection. Sean knew Misty wasn’t his mate, but he’d always felt protective of her. A few years later, when Misty and her family were … were in trouble and on the run, Sean enlisted his family to come to their aid.
Grayson Crosby had always been somewhat of a loner. He mostly kept to himself but was there for the family when they needed him. Sean said he needed help to keep his college friend safe so Grayson was there for him, maybe not enthusiastically, but there. He heard Sean making the family introductions and came out of the kitchen. His beast suddenly had the poor woman backed into the wall.
“You said that she knows all about us?” Sean said that she did and that he was terrifying her. “Yeah, I know, but my beast, he won’t let me go enough to help her.”
“Well, let me help you then. I’m sick of men running over me.” Misty doubled up her fist and hit Grayson square in the nose. Then, when he was going back, she swung her leg around and did a roundhouse slap with her foot to his head. He went to the floor in a thud, breaking the end table behind him.

Misty Quartermain was an attorney. She sat across from a fellow employee who, she felt, continually cornered and harassed her. She also had a brother, Alex, who was deaf. Out of the blue, Alex was arrested for hitting someone with a car and killing them. As hard as he was trying to figure out what to do in order for the police to understand he couldn’t have been the one to do this since he didn’t drive, he couldn’t make anyone understand. Thankfully there was another police officer who gave him his cell phone when he tried to distract two men who came into the cell to do Alex harm and told him to contact his dad to come get him. That’s the first person he sent a text to tell to come get him. Then he contacted his sister to let her know what was going on. Misty told Alex to run and hide. Their dad was with her and he had not received a call of any kind. When Misty and their dad finally find Alex and pick him up they were going to Ohio to her friend Grayson’s until they could figure out what was going on. This story is filled with twists and turns with all the adventure I’ve come to expect from one of Kathi S. Barton’s books. I can’t wait to see what Fate has in store for Ryan when his mate comes.
Grayson and Misty may not have have started on the best of terms, but with Grayson’s charming ways he’s sure to make Misty fall in love with him.
Lawyers always seem to make the worst of enemies when it comes to trying cases. In Misty’s case, she has someone determined to take her out before his secrets can be unraveled. If he can’t get to Misty he’s willing to use her brother or father to lure her to him.
With no other option, Misty and her father, Able, set out on the run. The destination? Sean Crosby. A vampire friend from college who saved Misty before. But now she’s bringing more trouble to their front step.
When Grayson first sees Misty him and his beast know that they’ve found their mate. However, his beast doesn’t make life easy for him and corners a pissed Misty. She may be willing to admit they might be mates, but that doesn’t mean she’s going to let another man try to walk all over her and run her life.
When it comes to the Crosby family, these villains just don’t know who they are dealing with. They’re more than just the average vampire kiss now. With the family expanding more and more, each new person they bring into the family seems to bring more magic with them. Lester Jenkins just doesn’t know who he’s going up against when he tries to kill Misty.
