If you know anything about us, you know that we're big fans of Kristen Ashley. Particularly Nikki. Swear to god, she reads KA's whole back list once a month. So when we received one of the coveted KA invites, it was pretty much a million times better than this:
It was like being in the presence of greatness....like being at a New Kids concert.
*snickers* Only YOU would equate the New Kids to KA.

what he can do with her. He will have her, all of her.
Therefore, Lucien is going to tame Leah, even if he gets hunted and killed for doing it.

between them, connecting them on unprecedented levels for mortals or
immortals. And what will grow between them means they will challenge
their ways of life and their union will begin The Prophesies which makes
them one of three couples who will save humanity… or die in the effort.
