Darkness Burning (2009)
“She might have been attracted to him without any special “help” whatsoever. His handsome face and strong body, so wonderfully complimented by a sense of humor and honor, made him just about perfect.
As it was, she sincerely hoped she never saw him again.
Tonight was an anomaly in her quiet, straightforward little life. She’d been used; her body had been ravished twice already. Before she’d entered the garden she’d shakily roused herself from the end of the sofa to pull her clothing over sticky ...skin. Standing all alone in the library after being abandoned by a man whose name she would never have known if another hadn’t called out to him—she’d been forgotten by him in a moment—had somehow made her feel…less.
Less herself, less in control, less prideful of all she’d accomplished in such a short time since her “awakening.”
And she’d bargained for it all. Sacrificed her blood and her shallow store of memories to fill them with selfish, momentary pleasure and information she didn’t think explained away the violent dreams that plagued her.MoreLess
