Until Robb.
After an old vampire friend comes asking for a favor, Robb has to choose between repaying a life debt and chasing after the one girl who’s broken through his emotional walls. And when Liz stumbles upon evidence that seems to solve the puzzle of his mysterious seclusion, she confronts him in his lab. Only the dark secret she thought she had uncovered turns out to be something even more terrifying.
With a dead body in the trunk of his Porsche and a vial of cancerous blood in the pocket of her lab coat, Robb and Liz are heading for a collision course that will change both of their lives forever…
Excerpt:
"Liz pushed herself away from the embrace. The connection between them snapped as their lips broke apart, and Robb stood in front of her, his hands outstretched, looking concerned.
“Wait one second,” Liz said. Her thoughts whipped through her brain in a hurricane of confusion.
“Of course,” Robb said. He touched her elbow, letting his fingertips run down her arm and to her wrist. She struggled to breathe normally. Pangs of sheer lust threatened to overwhelm her body after that kiss. She hadn’t wanted to stop—no, she should kiss him back—no, she mustn’t—
“Please,” she said weakly. She didn’t even know what she was asking for. A moment to breathe. A moment to regain her senses, to make the world clear again. Robb’s cologne was so strong! The scent of it dizzied her.
“We can go slowly,” Robb said. He put both of his hands up and rested them gently on her shoulders. Liz instinctively leaned forward, then caught herself.
“I don’t…I don’t think this is right,” she said. She was trying to remember the reason that she didn’t want Robb to take her to bed. All of her logical reasoning, however, seemed to be overtaken by the warm flashes of desire that kept bringing her focus back to Robb’s flushed face and full, eager lips.
“Liz, let’s not pretend either of us doesn’t want this,” Robb said. His hand caressed her cheek and then circled back around, his fingertips teasing the edge of her earlobe. The skin there was so sensitive that she felt that at any second she would faint with pleasure. “Give in. I’ll leave the project for now. I’ll—”
“No!”
Liz furrowed her brow, feeling conflicted with her body’s instinct.
“I wanted to work at your lab because it’s the best in the world,” she said. She heard her own voice rising, growing tense. She felt a million miles away. “You can’t sacrifice the project for this!”
“No, no,” he said, his tone reassuring. “Not at all. The project will continue, don’t worry. I would only leave if you wanted me to. Or if you felt uncomfortable….”
Liz did feel uncomfortable, but she didn’t know why. There was something too slick about the way he was talking to her, as though he was telling her what she wanted to hear, nothing else. His desire seemed real enough. That kiss—oh! That kiss!—seemed real enough. As she wavered, he wove her fingers into his and drew her close. She could not help herself from leaning into his embrace. He reached up and gently slid off the tie from her ponytail, letting her hair loose.
