The last thing Wil needed was a babysitting job, but Ellie had asked him to check up on her little sister Becca. Becca, however, was not what he envisioned when he thought about a little sister. She was all grown up in a way that immediately caught Wil's full attention, but she was also in a dangerous situation.

Becca was fascinated by the gorgeous Vamp, and not about to stake him before spending some quality time with him, what she didn't expect was the depth of her attraction nor the fact that he just wasn't like other neck biters she had made a career out of staking. Wil possessed something special, and she was afraid of falling for him.

With both coming from painful previous relationships, compromise seems unlikely but with an attraction this strong, some things may just be worth a second chance if they can just find the right balance.

This novel is 5th in the Dark Promises series and fulfills its promise as a steamy paranormal adventure wonderfully. Flowing and fast paced with sizzling erotic episodes and great characters, make this a wonderful read, well worth the time and money and a great addition to the series.





 
 

Synopsis
Hired to protect the younger sister of a good friend, vampire Wil Brogan thinks it's going to be a simple job. Go in, pull Becca out of harm's way, and bring her home to her family. But the second he sees her, he knows it's going to be anything but simple. She isn't the naïve young woman her family remembers. She's a strong, bold woman who's anything but helpless and seeing her makes him want to forget the job and drag her to the nearest bed. He doesn't see the danger in letting his guard down until it's too late.

Becca's much more than the seductive woman Wil first sees her for. She's a vampire hunter, and she plans to make him her next victim.

He doesn't count on the chemistry between them. Chemistry that gives way to an attraction neither of them is prepared for. After a tragic relationship Wil had vowed to never get involved with a human woman again, and Becca has her own painful reasons to explain her hatred of vampires. Sometimes opposites shouldn't attract—and sometimes fate steps in and changes the rules.
