Now that she’s back, nothing will stop him from claiming her. But she wants nothing to do with him—or his family.
She’ll do anything to save him.
Fiona knows that Ian is the only male for her. The only way to keep him alive is to stay away from him. But when tragedy strikes and they discover a wicked agenda for the mass murder of humans, they must work together to take down the enemies that threaten everyone.

Saved by Darkness Excerpt

“I won’t kill the male since he’s your
brother.” It was the only concession he could give her. Ian tried not to kill
in the fighting ring but it wasn’t always avoidable. Sometimes his opponents
pushed and pushed, refusing to yield until death for them was the only option.
Her eyes widened even more before she
just shook her head. “Foolish male.”
Foolish? She was truly concerned about
his well-being even if she appeared to think he was weak. That thought rankled him. He would have to show her he
was a worthy male—strong enough for her. “Will you have dinner with me tomorrow
night?”
“If you get in the ring with my brother
in a few hours, you won’t be around to have dinner with me tomorrow,” she
snapped, her hands going to her curvy hips.
His dragon blazed to life at her words.
She truly thought he was weak. He didn’t much care what other supernaturals
thought about him, but her words… He needed to show her how strong he was.
Something primitive and dark flared inside him at the challenge. “If I survive,
you’ll have dinner with me.”
“That doesn’t sound like a question.”
He didn’t respond, just watched her and
breathed her in. Her scent was addictive and was making it hard to think
clearly, much less talk. His demon side didn’t like the lack of control, but
his dragon side didn’t care. At all. He could roll around in her scent; wanted
to bathe in it, live in it.
She huffed out an impatient sigh. “Fine.
If you manage to survive, I’ll go to dinner with you. Just…reconsider what I
said.”
He snorted. Her brother was the one who
should walk away. “Meet me at Mandina’s tomorrow night. Six o’clock?” He wanted
to lock down a time and place. Because this was a female he couldn’t let walk
away. He’d be a fool to do so.
She hesitated for a moment, blew out
another frustrated breath, then nodded. “I’ll be there.”
That was all he needed to hear.
Because her scent was starting to make
his dragon get edgy, he turned and left the closet without another word. He’d
fight her brother tonight, then see her tomorrow. He just hoped he didn’t have
to hurt her brother too badly in the ring.
Because he planned to show this
captivating female that he was a worthy mate. Killing her brother wouldn’t do
him any favors.
