   VAMPIRE’S HUNGER  by Cynthia Garner (April 1, 2014; Forever Yours E-Book; $3.99)

In a post-apocalyptic wasteland, civilization no longer exists, and only the strongest survive. The few remaining humans must band together with supernatural beings to battle unspeakable evil-or all hope will be lost.

Kimber Treat is an ordinary woman with an extraordinary gift: she can raise the dead. As a necromancer who works with the police, she communicates with murder victims to bring their killers to justice. But after a normal session goes horribly wrong, Kimber realizes she's summoned something dark and sinister. She's unwittingly unleashed the apocalypse, and everyone blames her…except Duncan MacDonnough, the devastatingly handsome vampire she can't stop fantasizing about.

As society shuts down and flesh-eating hordes close in, Duncan vows to protect Kimber. He can keep her safe from others-but not from the insatiable carnal hunger he feels for her. Now racing to reverse the chaos she's unleashed, Kimber can't afford any distractions. But even as she succumbs to Duncan's seduction, she fears that he has a hidden agenda. And with the line between life and death starting to blur, his secrets might kill her-or worse…

Read an Excerpt

Two nights later Duncan answered the knock on Kimber’s door. Murray stood there, just

as fragile looking as ever. “What now?” Duncan asked.

The other vampire lifted his chin, motioning toward the inside of the apartment.

“Maddalene wants to see your little necromancer again.” His face was expressionless but

Duncan caught the smirk in his voice.

He clenched his jaw. No way in hell was Kimber going back there until he and

Maddalene came to an understanding. The fact that Maddalene had overridden him and

allowed hungry vampires into his living quarters, to threaten Kimber and her friends, had

driven home the point that the sense of loyalty he felt toward Maddalene was a one-way

street.

“Tell Maddalene to forget it,” he told Murray.

“I’m not your messenger boy, MacDonnough.” The skinny excuse for a vampire

gave a grunt and pointed to his head. “Still attached, the way I like it. You got something

to say to Maddalene, you say it yourself.” He gave a sardonic salute with two fingers and

sauntered off.

Damn it.

Duncan closed the door and turned to face the other inhabitants of the apartment.

Natalie stood in the kitchen, leaning back against the counter, her hands braced on either

side. Aodhán was kicked back in the recliner, his gaze steady and calm. Kimber, his

lovely Kimber, stood beside the sofa, arms crossed and one foot tapping on the floor.

“I am not going back there,” she said.

“No, you’re not.”

“I mean it, Duncan. Maddalene wants the impossible, and I won’t do it.”

“I agree.”

“No matter what you…” A frown dipped between her brows. “Wait. What?”

He couldn’t stop the small grin that quirked his lips. She was adorable when she

was confused. It wasn’t a look he got to see very often because she had such a sharp

mind. “I said I agree. You’re not going to see Maddalene.”

“Oh.” Her hands dropped to her sides. “Um, why not?”

Ignoring the interested gazes of Aodhán and Natalie, he walked over to Kimber

and took her face in his palms. “Because I don’t trust her right now, and I mean to keep

you safe.”

Her lips parted and he couldn’t stop himself from dipping his head to press a soft

kiss against her mouth. When he drew away, her lashes fluttered and swept up to show

slightly dazed eyes. That was a good sign, anyway. He knew she wasn’t indifferent to

him. If he could prove to her that he wouldn’t lose control and drain her, maybe one day

she’d trust him enough to let him close again. To let him love her.

He took a step back. Where the hell had that come from? He didn’t love Kimber.

He couldn’t love her. She was mortal. He was not. He didn’t deny he wanted her—his

lust for her was nearly a living entity on its own. But love?

No.

He didn’t have the time for love. He didn’t have the luxury for love.

He didn’t have the right. He’d done things he wasn’t proud of. Kimber deserved

better than him. She certainly didn’t deserve the danger he’d be putting her in if

Maddalene found out he had a soft spot for Kimber. And he deserved…

He firmed his jaw. He deserved only what she gave him. But that didn’t negate

the fact that she had something he wanted—well, actually, two things he wanted: the

ability to contact the Unseen and a body he wanted to lose himself in. Both might be

within his reach if he could just get Maddalene to back the hell off.

Yeah, Duncan. Just keep telling yourself all you’re interested in is her body. You

might really believe it someday.

He turned away from Kimber. Grabbing up the tire iron from where he’d placed

it underneath the coffee table, he headed toward the front door. “I’m going to talk to

Maddalene.”

“Wait.” Kimber’s soft voice stopped him. When he looked over his shoulder at

her, she said, “Be careful.”

He gave a nod and pulled open the door. As he closed it behind him, he heard

Aodhán say, “He’s strong and he’s fast. On his own, he’ll be able to get around any

zombies out there. He’ll be fine.”

Fine against zombies, yes. Against his own heart? He wasn’t so sure.
