Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the age of fifteen, Chad Feldmann and Winnie McBride made an impulsive choice that led to pregnancy. Now, years later, they're married. But all is not well in paradise. As much as Winnie loves her daughter, she can't forget the life she'd expected to be living. Until they got married, it'd seemed to her they were both struggling and making sacrifices to move forward. After the wedding, she can't see that Chad is doing his part anymore. The more he makes his own dreams come true, the more her resentment grows. Chad blames himself for the reckless choice made when he and Winnie were kids. All he wants now is to build a life with Winnie, but he knows she isn't happy, knows she's pulling further from him, and he can't figure out how to stop the inevitable. They've done everything backwards-the baby carriage, then marriage-and somehow he has to remind her that, regardless of all the wrongs committed, one thing has been true for him for as long as he can remember: First came love.

Ever since the accident, Amy has had terrible nightmares in which Rand's son and daughter return to exact revenge on their father and Amy herself (the wicked step-mother) for abandoning them. When Rand convinces her to come away with him for a healing respite to an isolated cabin in the woods, Amy's guilt-filled nightmares turn into pure horror.

A devastated Amethyst refuses to do anything but carry on all by herself in the isolated area she grew up. But something strange is happening, and Gabe realizes it every time he drops by to check on the woman who's held his heart for long years. She's grown pale, cold. She's sleeping all the time, waking only in the night, when her taste for blood overwhelms her. Then Gabe becomes aware that something in the woods is calling to her, something that's stealing her life... Gabe will face his deadliest foe yet when the woman he loves falls prey to a nameless creature who wants her very soul.

Everything she expects to happen falls through while the unexpected may turn into everything she's ever dreamed of...or all she's dreaded.
