Sinossi

“His venom poisoned my soul.”

The monster I thought I left behind at high school has followed me to Lucent Academy. I feel him inside me, changing me, darkening my heart and mind.

I yearn for the hunt. The thrill of the kill. The taste of fresh blood.

But I won’t give in to those dark desires. I can’t. My friends are in danger.

Someone is stealing Auran blood. Someone who wants our kind dead.

And the only way I can save them is to fight the growing evil inside me, and once again embrace my Light before it’s too late.

Out of the Night

Susan May Warren

Will he ever outrun trouble? 
All former spy and current national security agent York Newgate wants is to propose to the woman he loves, RJ Marshall. Then they can move to Shelly, Washington, and start the calm, safe life he’s been dreaming of for over a year. 
Too bad trouble doesn’t agree… 
Or maybe RJ simply attracts trouble because she’s just going out for coffee when she spots a wanted, known terrorist standing in the middle of a street in Paris. At least she thinks it’s international criminal Alan Martin, the mastermind behind a plot to kill the president. 
But he’s in jail, right? 
Wrong. Martin has escaped, and it’s up to RJ—and York—to keep him in their sights until he can be apprehended. But chasing down Martin means following him into the darkness of whatever plot he’s cooked up now. 
So much for York’s epic proposal. Now, he just wants to escape Europe with their lives. 
The romantic trilogy ignites in book of the Epic Story of RJ and York!
