Synopsis:

Shawn MacFarland is heading to Aaron MacManus home when he makes a stop at a bar in Columbus to feed. He wants to leave his master because he is a pretty bad guy. He wakes up to find blood on his clothes and a switchblade stuck in his ribs and can’t remember how it got there and what has happened. Everything is a blur because now his memory is gone as well. What was he doing there? He knows it wasn’t a robbery because he has all his credit cards and his id so he at least knows who he is. Shawn has gotten up and started walking till he comes to a deep cave and decides he needs to rest so he can find food and heal. Cade is a cook by trade. She works in a restaurant during the day and a bar maid during the night. She’s got to pay her bills and make money so she can find a place to stay that has running water and heat before the winter. Her home has been a cave. She’s shopping when she runs into Duncan and they start a conversation. He mentions to her that Ms. Penny, the cook they have at the MacManus home is going on vacation for two weeks and they need someone to cover. Cade offers because she could use the extra money. She’s never been around a vampire that can be up during the day, wolfs, nymphs, and faeries. She’s fine with that as long as she isn’t dinner for anyone. She’s exhausted after the past few days so she heads to her temporary home, the cave. She hears a noise after lying down, and before she knows it, there’s a hand covering her mouth. This man wants to feed from her and terror fills her body. Once he feeds, he forgets to seal the wound and it is history in the making for them. She’s weak and isn’t positive of all the details anymore but when she gets to the MacManus home she collapses. Can Shawn save Cady from her brother and Gabriel? Will Cady learn to accept Shawn and be able to keep him and the MacManus family safe from harm?

Review:

Cady and Shawn are wonderful together. Cady's background is horrific. Kathi does a great job explaining why Cady feels the way that she does. Again, Kathi did NOT disappoint with this novel. I was completely enthralled by the story and the characters. I could not put it down.
