Once upon a time, someone in your family knew why all the strange occurrences and coincidences are so prevalent. Some stories are still whispered from Grandmother to Granddaughter. Tales of how a Great-Aunt could find children lost in the woods at the edge of town. Rumors of an ancestor who could heal others with a touch of their hands. Suspicions as to why there are only daughters born to the family line, and that sisters are always born seven years apart to the day. But someone in some far away time didn't have to guess why these things happen in the Swavely family. They were there - in the beginning - when the Girl fled from her People, when the Swavelys rambled across an ocean, and when their paths collided in the woods on the Hill. Their meeting taught the Girl what it is to love, and their union changed the course of the Swavely women for generations. Views: 556

In this pulse-pounding new Midnight Breed vampire romance novel from New York Times and #1 international bestselling author Lara Adrian, passion explodes between a daywalking member of the Order and a fiery female warrior whose shadowy past will test the bonds of both duty and desire.
As the son of a formidable Breed warrior, Aric Chase has been devoted to the Order all his life. With his training completed, all he needs is one successful mission before he can join the fight to destroy the Order’s chief nemesis, Opus Nostrum. His rare ability to daywalk lands Aric an assignment in Montreal, where he learns he’s to be teamed with another new recruit, a beautiful, but tough-as-nails Breedmate named Kaya Laurent.
Independent and driven, Kaya wants nothing more than to become a full-fledged member of the Order. Having grown up in squalor and neglect on the streets of Montreal, she longs for the close-knit family she’s found during her training to be a warrior. Eager to prove herself, she is thrilled to be given the chance at a key operation—even if she must share the mission with an arrogant, far-too-seductive Breed male who’s practically Order royalty.
Their unwanted partnership soon erupts into a desire neither of them can resist. But when Kaya’s past reaches out from the shadows to call her back, she must decide between protecting a dark alliance that could shatter her dreams of joining the team and a truth that could not only forfeit Aric’s faith in her, but bring the enemy right to the Order’s door.
