"Having fast made a name for herself in the vampire romance realm, Feehan now turns her attention to other supernatural powers in this swift, sensational offering… The sultry, spine-tingling kind of read that [Feehan's] fans will adore."

"One of the best current voices in the darker paranormal romance subgenre, Feehan has begun another series that, while lacking the fantasy feel of her Carpathian romances, is equally intense, sensual and mesmerizing, and might appeal especially to fans of futuristic romances. Known for her vampire tales, Feehan is a rising star in paranormal romance."

She conquers yet another genre of romance with ease, proving why she is a master… Ms. Feehan wields the suspense blade with ease, keeping readers enthralled and teetering on the edge… Guaranteed not to disappoint, and will leave one begging for more. A must-read book, only cementing Ms. Feehan's position as a genre favorite for yet another round."

For Dianne Fetzer, my beloved sister,
whom I greatly admire and respect.
You are an amazing woman.
You've always known what you wanted
and gone after it courageously.
If anyone deserves a love story, it's you.
As always, I need to thank several people for their help with this book. Cheryl Wilson and Domini Selk for their patience and understanding. Special thanks to Cecilia Feehan for writing Joley's song to Hannah. To Anita, Kathi, Cheryl, Cecilia, Manda and Carol for their contributions, many thanks! Tina, for her unfailing support and help whenever I ask, and of course, Brian Feehan for his suggestions and talking over action scenes in the middle of the night—you all always inspire me to do better.
Hannah's song from Joley
Verse 1:
When all has gone away
And you're alone out there
All you have to do is say
I need to hear that you care
I'll whisper or I'll yell
Whichever one you ask
I wish that I could tell
The feelings behind the mask
Chorus:
I'm knocking at your door
But it won't open for me
How can I be there
If you won't let me see
Won't you open for me
Won't you let me inside
I want to be able to see
All the feelings you hide
Verse 2:
When the world has walked out
And you're alone in the dark
When all you do is doubt
And try to find a spark
Call out my name, I'll be listening
Waiting for the wind to send
My name that you're whispering
Baby, I'll be there in the end
Chorus:
I'm knocking at your door
But it won't open for me
How can I be there
If you won't let me see
Won't you open for me
Won't you let me inside
I want to be able to see
All the feelings you hide
Bridge:
Don't be afraid
You don't have to fear
I'm by your side
For all of time
I'll never leave your side
I'm here for all of time
All of time
Chorus:
I'm knocking at your door
But it won't open for me
How can I be there
If you won't let me see
Won't you open for me
Won't you let me inside
I want to be able to see
All the feelings you hide
—Cecilia Feehan
