Synopsis

Witness the decline of the American frontier through the portrait of a captivating woman who embodies the spirit of a vanishing era. Seen through the disillusioned eyes of a young admirer, the protagonist’s social grace and eventual fall mirror the transition from the pioneer generation to a coarser, commercial age. The prose is elegant and elegiac, crafting a subtle psychological study of charm, dependence, and the harsh realities of survival. It is a masterpiece of concision that mourns the loss of nobility in the American West.

    Ashlie Willis is a disappointment. At least, that’s what she tells herself. Failed career, bad relationships, life—the former teacher can’t seem to get anything right. People pleasing is a tough habit to break, and pretending is easier than facing her fears. The only one asking what she really wants is her best friend, Hunter. 
    Hunter Jackson doesn’t get attached. The data analyst has a new fling each week and bolts at the first sign of drama. No relationships. No feelings. No exceptions, aside from Ashlie—the one woman he’s allowed close enough to matter. 
    They’ve only ever been friends…except for the one night they don’t talk about. Family obligations send them back to Fort Bender, a place steeped in memories they promised to forget. With no more distractions, and personal demons pushed aside, their pretense crumbles into a night of noncommittal passion. 
    But when a new suitor for Ashlie turns out to be the perfect match, fear and desire collide. Ashlie clings to the ruse of their past, while Hunter can only see one future: her. 
    When the line between love and friendship blurs, the very things they’ve been running from may be exactly what they need.

    Carolyn Summers was a well known author who wrote steamy, romantic books, even though her own love life was less than satisfactory. Perhaps that was why she was having these interactions with people while on her retreat to write. Her agent had rented a cabin near the Sequoia National Forest so she would have solitude and quiet to get the next book completed on time. The problem was all these interruptions! People knocking on the cabin door, pulling her from her computer, and throwing drama into her life. But these were not normal unknown people! And why were they showing up now of all times? 
       When her mind took her to a place of incredible beauty, she questioned her sanity and the wisdom of being in this isolated location! Was the solitude taking her to a level of craziness? When she was told to wake up, she wasn't aware of  being asleep. What was going on?

    Rufus will do anything not to remain staked in a coffin, including stealing a psychic and forming a blood bond with him.
    Rufus Mabuz was a badass assassin until his coven leader had him staked and stored away in a coffin for seven years. He was still a badass assassin, only he couldn't move. Then one day, the coven leader makes him an offer -- bond with a psychic or stay in the coffin for years to come.
    Jaki Sage is kept prisoner together with a group of psychics. He's a psychic too, but a crappy one. He can't foresee anything. The only thing he can do is look back in time to see what the weather was like around a certain event. Not useful. But then his friend, who can foresee things, tells him to go with Rufus the Dead.
    Rufus isn't sure why he's stealing a psychic and forming a blood bond with him, but anything is better than being staked. Jaki might not know much about vampires, but he thinks he's better off with Rufus than if he hadn't run away with him. But then the coven leader demands he uses his skills to find someone, or she'll put Rufus back in the coffin. How will Jaki be able to find anyone when all he can see is weather?
