She's dead. Or not quite. After discovering she's been turned into a vampire, she tries to settle into a quiet suburb of Chicago and return to a normal life. If only she could stop wanting to bite her boyfriend. Not to mention she is dying to find out who turned her, and why. She doesn't have to wait long before they come to her.

    Xanthus Dimitriou-the most lethal Dagonian to rise from the ocean-is on a mission to save mankind from annihilation. But first there's one small thing he needs to do... kill a beautiful young woman in a wheelchair. Killing her doesn't start out as part of his plan. He entrenches himself deep in the human world. Aligning with his enemies, he prepares to send them to Triton to face their punishment. Then Sara Taylor rolls onto the scene. Xanthus knows at once she's a criminal. And her crime? Being born. She's a human/Dagonian half-breed, an abomination. Killing her should be an easy job. All he has to do is break into her apartment, slit her throat, and feed her body to the sharks. Simple, right? Wrong. If only she weren't so beautiful, so innocent, so sweet... Saving the world may have to wait. It appears Xanthus has a woman to save. But protecting her may cost him his own life.

    Or so I thought. I decided to go on my honeymoon without the groom. Then I met Chance. And my life got worse. I'd met men like him. Men who thought they owned the world. Men who thought they could own me because they have all the money in the world. Men I couldn't stand. Chance was used to having any girl he desired; even my best friend, Amy was lured by his charms. I was the exception. And it frustrated him, drove him crazy. I vowed never to fall for him, never to acknowledge his existence. But fate has a way of twisting events, and soon I grew closer to him than I wanted. And then an even more surprising turn of event makes us closer than we could ever imagine, yet farther apart at the same time. I vowed not to let him get close to me. I vowed not to let another man break my heart...but my vows...were in vain . . . *** For a limited time, this edition of CHANCE contains three free stepbrother romance books ***
