Visions of death haunt her . . .
Ava Keller sees the future. When

Vengeance consumes him . . .
Tortured by his past, Karson has

Thrown together by fate, Ava and
Karson explore their new feelings and discover hope for the future. But they
must battle the demons threatening humanity to find a destiny worthy of their
love.
Excerpt:
“Here.”
Ava plunked a cup of coffee down in front of me, the liquid so dark that it
looked thick enough to cut.
“Did
you have to add the tar to this, or did it come already in the can?”
She
eyed me levelly. “I’m giving you a chance here, remember?”
“Yes.
I also remember rescuing you from a demon’s shadowman. Which hardly gives you
reason to poison me with…whatever this is.” A grin touched my lips. I couldn’t
seem to stop baiting her.
“Karson!”
My
grin faded. “Demons like Thomas need to be banished from this dimension.”
“Yes.
You told me about that.”
“How
do you think they’re banished?”
Her
eyebrows scrunched together. “I hadn’t really thought about it.”
“There
are two ways. One way is what you saw in that back room. The other is to chop
off their heads. Guess which method offers a small chance of getting back the
man whose body the demon inhabits?”
“I’m
guessing it’s not the headless option,” she said dryly. Then a dawning horror
touched her expression. “Jesus. So you have to what, torture the demon out of a
person? Do you light them on fire?”
“God,
no. The symbols weaken it. The circle of salt and candles help to keep it
confined during the exorcism. And the burning sensation you experienced in your
vision…well, during the latter part of the exorcism, their bodies sort of burn
from the inside out. It doesn’t really create much smoke or a real active fire,
but from their perspective…”
“It
would feel like being burned alive.”
“Probably.”
“Wouldn’t
it be easier just to chop off their heads?” Her tone suggested a breezy
question, but her eyes watched me carefully. As if weighing me based on how I
answered her question.
“Yes.
But if I wanted an easy job, I’d do something—hell, anything—other than this.
And—”
“And?”
I
shook my head. “Nothing.”
“Are
you aware your tattoos move?”
“They
appear to move when I’m drawing power through them, but it’s basically an
optical illusion caused by the magic.” Not exactly true, but the truth was
complicated magical bullshit that I didn’t even fully understand. Or give much
thought to.
“You
know that’s freaking weird, right?”
“Yep.”
I sipped the coffee and—just barely—kept from gagging.
“Why
do you do this?”
“My
reasons are my own.” That’s all there was to be said about that. And it wasn’t
debatable.
She
seemed to sense that needling wouldn’t get me to talk about that particular
subject, and she got up from where she’d sat on the chair across from the
couch.
“Are
you hungry?” She walked to the small kitchen table and picked up her cell phone.
“I think I’ll order a pizza.”
I
needed to hammer a warning into her head and get the hell out of here. Come up
with a new plan to get Thomas. I knew that. But for some reason, I couldn’t
make myself leave. Hell, I didn’t want
to leave. “Sure, just don’t get anything weird on it.”
“Weird?
Such as?”
“You
know. Vegetables.”

Allee used to battle spreadsheets in Corporate America, and now concentrates on
her characters’ battles to find love. Raised in small-town Colorado, Tiffany
currently lives in Phoenix, AZ, by way of Chicago and Denver. She is happily
married to a secret romantic who tolerates her crazy mutterings.
She writes about ass-kicking
heroines and the strong heroes who love them. Her work includes the
suspense-driven From the Files of the Otherworlder Enforcement Agency series
which revolves around a group of paranormal cops solving crimes and finding
love, and Don’t Bite the Bridesmaid, a lighthearted paranormal romance
(Entangled Publishing).
Tiffany has an MBA in accounting
and nearly a decade of experience in corporate finance. All super useful stuff
for a writer who spends far too much time trying to figure out fun ways to keep
her characters apart, and interesting ways to kill people (for her books—of
course!).
