UNKNOWN PAST
Something strange is happening to Nessa. Ever since she
survived a near-death experience sheβs not exactly who she
used to beβand enjoying every minute of it. Then sheβs
called upon to go to battle against darkness. If only she
could remember why.
UNEXPECTED LOVER
Dominic is having his own problems with memory, sanity, and
hallucinations. Sent to Excelsior, the covert Hunter
training facility, he senses a female presence that seems
so hauntingly familiar. Thatβs because he and Nessa share a
forgotten past.
UNSEEN EVIL
As Nessa and Dominic regain their memories, their strange
mission against evil becomes clearer. And all the more
dangerous because whether they should trust each other is
the still the greatest unknown of all.
She cried.
His pretty little witch was crying.
Standing in a field of stone, surrounded by people, yet
utterly alone.
Day bled into night and the people drifted from her side
and
still she cried. She was alone now, save for one woman and
one man.
Anger bit into him as the manβthe vampireβdared to lift a
hand to touch the witch. Dared to wrap a big arm around her
slender shoulders and draw her close.
Tears choked him.
Her pain racked him.
He wanted to reach out to her. He wanted to be the one to
comfort her, to hold her against him as she wept.
But when he whispered her name, she didnβt hear him.

Dominic came awake with her name on his lip sand a tearing
pain in his heart.
Snarling, he fought free of the covers and dashed a hand
over his damp face. Crying. Damn it. Again. Dreams of some
woman heβd never met and he wakes up crying. He stared at
the pink smears on his fingertips and stormed into the
bathroom to wash away the blood-tinged tears.
With water dripping from his face, he looked at the mirror.
A muscle worked in his jaw and he gripped the edge of the
marble counter.
"This is ridiculous," he muttered.
He was obsessed. Obsessed, dreaming about the same woman,
night after night, year after year. And now he was even
crying like some pansy in his dreams.
"What in the hell is this?" Shoving away from the
counter,
he strode to the enclosed shower and turned on the water
with an angry flick of his wrist. He needed a damn hot
shower, he needed a good hard run,maybe even a down and
dirty fightβif he could get all three of those, it
might lighten his dark mood.
But somehow he doubted it.
The dreams were getting worse, and he had a bad feeling he
knew why.
Dominic Ralston was going crazy.
