An insane immortal, the race to find an ancient coin, a finish line that should never have been crossed.Beth never asked to be part of a scheme to free a goddess of shadow and dazzle, but a madman''s dreams have other plans for her.

Monsters of the old world will be unleashed, and if the man she loves doesn''t find her, she may lose her immortal soul as well.Todd has fought, come close to dying, and still Beth is taken. His only means of finding her are the unbreakable bond forged in blood and old magic tattooed on his skin.

A missing teenage girl, an ancestral connection broken, and a celestial warning. One hell of a way to start the day.Who took Carine Gavreau? Why was the connection between a Voodoo priestess and her ancestors severed? Why would a French dandy in a tailored suit ask for her help in a treasure hunt? Seeking answers from the dead was easy, and Bethany Sayers was good at her job. This one should have been a piece of cake, until the man she loves starts to lose his mind. To make matters worse, long kept secrets come to light, driving a wedge between her and someone she''s always trusted. To save Todd and rescue Carine, Beth has to go beyond the land of the dead and speak to Death himself. Just one minor hitch. She might have to die to do it.Todd Rollins left his past behind to follow the woman he''s loved all his life. He is her protector, her anchor between the world of the living and the dead. Now it''s all slipping away one lost thought at a time and there isn''t a damn thing he can do to stop it. In the bayou country of Louisiana, something eats away at his bond with Beth, devours his memories, and short circuits his brain. How can he protect her if he can''t even protect himself? Sometimes the greatest test of a man is to surrender his ego to the woman he loves.

Hunting the dead is tricky business. Sometimes the hunter becomes the prey. Bethany Sayers never wanted to return to her hometown, but the fires have started again. Always eight, always a Christmas time, just like the one that orphaned her twenty-seven years ago. What she doesn''t expect is a phantom child to be the culprit. She''s hunted spirits before, but never one so young, and seeking answers from the dead adds new complications. To make matters worse, she draws Todd Rollins into her mess. She should have left him alone, but the connection they shared as kids tugs at her heart with a force she can''t deny. Todd Rollins believes in the science of his work and not much else until Bethany Sayers upends his rational world. After seventeen years she strolls back into his life with tales of ghosts and the stuff of bad reality TV. If it were anyone else, he''d have laughed them out of town, but the old bond comes roaring back stronger than ever. Not only does she drag him into places of dreams and nightmares but awakens feelings he thought were dead and buried. When she stakes her life on one horrible gamble, he rushes in with only one thought on his mind. He''d lost her once and would be damned if he''d lose her again.
