Blurb
Jade
never wanted a mate. She loved being an assassin and she had a
family in her fellow assassins, their mates, and little Silas. She
truly had everything she needed. But when Ghost assigned her to
track the same immortals who tried to kill Xander’s family, she
couldn’t refuse.
But
the complication arises when Ghost requests she partner with Noah, a
human and ex-special forces soldier. Jade has never worked with a
human before, much less one that hated her from the moment he laid
eyes on her. But she was a professional and if she could play a part
in destroying the immortals who threatened her family, she could
accept the human. If only she knew how to fight her attraction to
him.
All
Noah Hale wanted was to kill the immortals who lured his best friend
and fellow ex-Navy SEAL to his death. He had no desire to be teamed
with a beautiful tracker who mesmerized him the moment she turned her
emerald eyes his way. But in order to stop other soldiers from
pursuing the same fate, he needed to swallow his pride and work with
a group of immortals he didn’t trust.
As
Jade and Noah track the group of shifters through the mountains of
Colorado, the danger lurking around every corner threatens everything
they both hold close. Will they be able to find a way through,
together?

Excerpt
Jade
caught a scent of a human as she entered the fourteen-story building
in downtown Snowfall. It wasn’t just any human scent, but
something that made all of her instincts flare. She knew that she’d
never caught this particular scent before, but something told her
that this human might be important to her. She tried to brush it off
as quickly as the thought came, but she couldn’t find it
coincidental she smelled it in the same steel building owned by Ghost
and housed the headquarters of Dark Company.
As
she dismissed the fleeting thought of searching for the scent, her
heart thumped once, hard, in her chest at the thought of not finding
its owner. She forced herself to walk toward the elevator bank,
ignoring the unwanted perusals she received from the men in the
lobby. Even in an unassuming hoodie and black yoga pants, she drew
unwanted attention. A side effect of being an immortal.
The
elevator opened as soon as she pressed the up-button and she kept her
gaze down as she walked into the elevator. She entered the code to
get to Ghost’s private floor, her movements too quick to be caught
by the human eye, before she squeezed into the corner. Jade used her
other senses as three men in suits and two women entered the enclosed
space with her. There was no need to glance at the glass interior
that covered the back wall to see what she looked like.
She
sensed eyes on her. Instead of searching out the gaze, she whipped
her long, straight dyed black hair into a bun on the back of her head
with quick movements before sneaking her hands into the front pockets
of her hoodie.
Jade
waited patiently as the car traveled toward the penthouse, her
ultimate destination, but she couldn’t help but try to find the
intriguing scent from earlier.
All
she knew was he hadn’t used the particular elevator she was in and
the higher the lift took her in the building, the more his scent
dissipated.
In
her entire existence, or what she remembered of it, she’d never
been attracted to…anyone. She’d never felt the pull to find
someone either. But lately, she’d felt increasingly restless
whenever she had any downtime and her skin tingled in a way that had
nothing to do with signaling immediate danger. It was as though her
body tried to convey something she didn’t understand.
Her
thoughts were interrupted when a man who had gotten into the elevator
with her on the first floor stepped into her personal space.
“Hey,
beautiful?”
Jade
rolled her eyes and raised her head to glare at the man. Of course,
he wouldn’t take the hint that she wanted to be left alone. To
emphasize the point, she crossed her arms and leaned against the
wall, moving away from his intrusion.
The
man decided to take this as an invitation and moved to wrap his arm
around her waist. The move gave her a clear shot to his ribs and she
took it, gently moving her elbow back and making contact. She
flinched when she heard a distinctive crack, realizing she hadn’t
been careful enough. Before she could apologize, the elevator door
opened and he ran off without looking back, holding onto his side.
She
sighed.
