To Eternity
Book 2 in the Timeless
Series
Wild beneath the moon…
For centuries Magnus has lived
according to the dictates of the moon, his heart isolated by the domination of
his wolf nature. Now fate has brought the beautiful, independent Sian to his
house at Darnwell and their irresistible attraction has exploded into a
white-hot passion. Yet she is not wolf, and the time has come for her to
embrace the change. But once she completes the ritual and claims her place next
to Magnus, the rivals will appear on the horizon…
Excerpt from Chapter 1 of To Eternity.
Thank
God. No claws.
Magnus
examined his hand, a man’s hand, before he clasped Sian’s offered palm and met
the massive dark pupils in her gaze as she set the padlock down. Naked, grimed
by the process of transformation, he used her help to haul himself up from the
floor.
She
slipped the silver necklace with the key to his chains inside her shirt.
He grimaced
as he wiped the scraps of crusty dust left after his transformation from his
arms. October’s full moon had proved nothing like the last. This time there was
no delightful shared dream.
Instead,
Sian had met more of the wolf he carried within him.
Heaven
help him, tonight she bore an injury to attest an encounter he couldn’t recall.
God.
He
gritted his teeth. His gaze fixed on her. “What happened?” He nodded to her
bandaged arm dreading her answer. “How did you get hurt?”
“Here,
Magnus.” Sian draped a warm robe around his shoulders. “I’m fine.” She glanced
to her arm. “This, it’s not more than a scratch.”
He
staggered away from the cage, where the beast spent his days, leaning on her
for support. “I scratched you?” he managed to ask, begging for confirmation of
his fears.
“It was
my fault. I got too close to the bars. We’ll get you to the bathroom, then I’ll
go make us something to eat.”
He
dragged one slow step after another. Sian slipped her arm around his waist, and
with her help, he made it along the corridor to the bathroom. She opened the
faucet on the bath while he drank two glasses of water. All the time, he kept
his gaze on her.
“You
bathe, I’ll go cook. Please, Magnus, don’t worry.” She smiled. “We’ve survived
this month’s full moon.”

Timeless
Book one in the Timeless series.
Their love will be eternal, the legend
says...if they survive.
Lonely
and forced into a life of secrecy, four hundred-year-old Magnus finds Sian--the
sexy music film producer who’s working in his house--tough to ignore. As she
resists his alter ego when he invades her dreams to seduce her, her innate
powers astound him and his need only grows. In dreams or reality, he’s
determined to make her his. She is meant for him alone.
Independent,
hard-working Sian has hopes and plans for the future that include the stately
house at Darnwell. Not its aloof owner. She’s there to acquire the home for a
video shoot, nothing more. By day, each layer she explores in Magnus’s grand
old home with him leads her deeper into love. But by night, he seduces her in
her dreams, gives her ecstasy like she’s never known. Then she learns his
secret: Come the full moon, she is the only one who can control his wolf curse.
First though, she has to survive it.
Excerpt
The
car was well over the speed limit as she pelted along the hectic miles of road
that wound through dense woodland to the gothic palace belonging to Count
Johansson.
She
had to get there.
The
compulsion intensified the closer she got. At last, the black gates came into
view, and relief overcame apprehension, for a few seconds at least. Small
stones spun, lumps zinging at her paintwork, as she sped up the drive. She
slammed the brakes on and shot out of the car as fast as she could.
Today
at least, no rain marred the view, but the place remained as though it lurked
in the rich wealth of trees around it. Forgoing the antique doorknocker, she
rang the bell and waited. “He can’t read my dreams,” she muttered, one last
effort at her mantra. The knots in her stomach and the nagging need to see him
didn’t dissipate.
Oh
God.
Magnus
opened the door, and his gaze locked on hers. He knew. She fought to remain
standing, gripped the doorjamb for support. Not only did he know, but he wanted
her to understand that he knew. The realization coiled around her tight as
gaffer tape. His dark eyes held the calculating flash of hunting yellow, and
she stifled the urge to run, to race away as fast as she could...with the
prayer he’d follow and capture her.
“Sorry
I’m late again,” she said, breathed in his cologne, and tried to catch hold of her
sanity.
“Good
morning, Miss Armstrong,” he said. “I had the local radio on. I knew you’d be
late with the accident. It’s caused a massive hold-up. I won’t ask if your
journey was good. Where would you like to start today?”
Her
mouth dried in anticipation. She’d like to start by tearing off the gray casual
shirt he wore and raking her nails over the muscles it hid. Her heartbeat
raced. She’d like to start by savaging his mouth, as he’d taken hers, by
shoving him to the floor and straddling him. Wetness dampened her underwear.
Then she’d open the zip on those jeans and find him hot and hard. She’d like to
start now.
Timeless is available at all good
