Return to the "utterly addictive" (RT Book
Reviews), "fast-paced and humorous" (Publishers
Weekly) world of New York Times bestselling
author Dianne Duvall's Immortal Guardians.
He awakens encapsulated in dirt with no knowledge of how he
came to be there. Riddled with injuries, he can remember
neither his past nor who he is. Nor can he remember what he
is. But surely no mortal man could survive being buried deep
beneath the earth. All he knows with certainty is that the
soothing voice and presence of the woman moving around above
enables him to endure the agony of his wounds. And he will
do whatever it takes to be with her.
When Susan first sees the old two-story house for sale, such
warmth and longing fill her that--against all reason--she
makes an offer. It will take years of hard work and money
she frankly doesn't have to fix up the place. So she can't
explain why she bought it. She also can't explain what
compels her to spend hours one night, digging in the
basement until she unearths a man. A man who still lives and
breathes despite having been buried alive. A man whose
intense brown eyes glow amber with pain, declaring him far
more than ordinary. Susan knows she should keep her
distance. He has no memory and possesses gifts that would
make most fear him. But as the two work together to unravel
the mystery of his past, she finds herself drawn in by his
teasing nature and tender touch. So much so that she loses
her heart to him even as they find themselves hunted by
unknown enemies who are ruthless in their quest to capture them.
