Melora Merriweather is searching for a fellow witch to protect her from a scheming uncle with plans of marriage. When her carriage overturns on her journey, she is rescued by a mysterious man whom she learns is the very person she seeks. But, he's not the witch she thought he was... Sebastian Collins should have left for London days ago. Now a snowstorm has trapped him with a woman who has come seeking protection, a woman who intrigues him like no other. And with each passing hour, his hunger for her grows...hunger for her kiss, her caress, and her blood.From the Inside FlapExcerpt:"You are Sebastian Collins? Of Caldwell House?" she asked. Had she made some horrible mistake? Who knew how old this letter might be? There had been no date written on any of them. Could this have come from a previous owner of the single address she had managed to discover leading her here? But, no, it could not be possible. Her dreams never misled her. "Indeed, I am," he answered, relieving her fears. He paused briefly, and then continued, "But there is no Mrs. Collins." Comprehension dawned. The blush of embarrassment and dread crept up her neck. To her surprise, Mr. Collins stiffened in agitation. "I-I am truly sorry," she stated, suddenly understanding his reaction. At least, now it made sense why Mrs. Collins never entered her dreams. "I had not realized she had passed. I apologize for the grief I have surely inflicted on you." "No, no," he said, with a shake of his head. He appeared to have difficulty speaking for a moment until at last, with a deep breath, he reclaimed his composure. Still, he kept his eyes cast down, toward the fire. "You fail to understand. I have never married." Melora stared at him. Confused, she looked again at the letter in her hand. "But the letters...?"This time, his head snapped up, and he looked in her direction. She inhaled sharply at the sight of his light blue eyes staring at her. Into her. Through her. Sharp. Piercing. As if he searched her soul for the answers to his questions.

Most of those times had been when he had first begun tochange into the beast during the full moon. And now, as he answered theknocking he had at first imagined to be the pounding in his skull, hewondered if the brandy he had been drinking this evening was perhapstainted. He could not quite believe his eyes. A woman stood on his doorstep, covered in a layer of snow, her brightblue eyes silently pleading to him just before her eyelids flutteredclosed, and she crumpled at his feet. He managed to set the candle downsafely on a table in time to catch her before she cracked her head onthe stone beneath her. He lifted her effortlessly into his arms, broughther into the house, slamming the door closed with his foot. He hurriedinto the library with his unexpected guest. North had returned earlierseeking the warm oblivion of yet another glass of brandy. He grimaced atthe memory of countless other sleep-deprived nights spent in much thesame way. Sans an unconscious woman, however. He placed the bundled woman onto the sofa, ignoring the fact that thesnow was bound to create a water stain on the fabric once it melted. Heleaned over her, pushing the curly brown strands of wet hair off herface and checked to see if she still breathed. Satisfied when he felther breath on his hand, he went back to the corridor. "Amery!" He roared. Turning back to the woman on his sofa, he again felt the necessity toblink his eyes, wondering if they played a trick with his senses. He litmore candles to brighten the room and added more wood to the fire. Thenhe walked back to the woman and knelt at her side. He found her handdangling over the edge of the sofa and took it gently in his, the digitsfrozen stiff. He inhaled a gasp. He cupped both of his handsinstinctively around hers, hoping to lend her his warmth. He heard the shuffle from the hallway and Amery's muttering, then a noisy yawn. "Bloody hell! What is this?" Amery bellowed from the doorway. North ignored the query. "We need blankets," he said, instead. "She's frozen through." Amery nodded and left. A muffled groan from behind drew his attention, and he turned to see thewoman's eyelids flutter open. He inhaled sharply as her bright bluegaze fell upon him. She studied him for a moment. And then, she smiled.About the AuthorTricia Schneider worked for 12 years in a bookstore as Assistant Manager and bookseller. Now she writes full-time while raising her three young children.
