Author Description

They are creatures of the night, searching for their one true mate... Reese Valentine just wanted a fresh start and a quiet job at Wilson's store in Duluth. Working the overnight shift seemed perfect-time to stock shelves, write her next vampire novel, and keep to herself. But her plans for a peaceful existence shatter the moment she meets Dominic Drake, the mysterious night manager whose intense presence both unnerves and captivates her. As strange incidents begin plaguing the store and bodies turn up in the nearby woods, Reese finds herself drawn deeper into Dominic's dangerous world. There's something different about him-something that goes beyond his unnaturally warm skin and inexplicable abilities. When a shadowy figure starts stalking Reese, she discovers she's not just writing about supernatural beings anymore-she's living among them. Thrust into a hidden world of Elementals, corrupted shadowmen, and ancient powers, Reese must confront an earth-shattering truth: she possesses abilities of her own. But as her connection with Dominic grows stronger and the danger escalates, Reese faces an impossible choice between the normal life she craved and embracing a destiny she never imagined. This is the third book of The Gifted Series.
