Cade's Fall

Gina Doucette is done. As dam of a fractured vampire clan, she has spent decades nurturing unstable whelps, managing endless hunger, and listening to the sun's increasingly seductive promises of release. She is ready to let go. Then, in the middle of a rooftop reaping, she catches a scent that stops her cold—cedar, whiskey, and sun-warmed skin. The man who owns it is Cade Thompson, a social worker with a kind face and a quiet strength that should have been ordinary. Instead, it becomes her undoing. Their soul-mate bond is immediate and overwhelming. It soothes the sun's call for the first time in years… and lights a hunger inside Gina more dangerous than any bloodlust she has ever known. Every stolen night, every careful feeding, every shared high binds them tighter. Cade's human life begins to unravel. Gina's carefully maintained control starts to crack. With rival vampires circling, hunters armed with UV weapons, and the weight of inherited whelps pressing down on her, Gina faces the most terrifying choice of her long existence: walk into the light and finally rest… or stay and risk becoming the very ruin she has always feared for the one man who makes her want to live. In the Fractured Bonds Vampire Clan series, love is never safe. It is exquisite. And it always demands a price.
