| Jaxon Montgomery kept herself isolated from all others, being careful not to make friends or spend too much time with anyone else. She was trained as a Navy SEAL and is now a police officer, confident in her abilities and well able to protect herself - except from her stepfather. When Jaxx told others that her stepfather had murdered her Navy SEAL father to marry her mother, she was laughed at and no one believed her. But then they found the brutally slaughtered bodies of Jaxx's younger brother and fragile mother and a few started to believe. When her stepfather returned to kill the family who adopted her, the family of another Navy SEAL, Jaxx refused to endanger anyone else and kept to herself. She feared that anyone else that she showed affection to would be murdered, but she didn't want to be alone...
Lucian was the most powerful of the Carpathians - and the most ancient. For thousands of years he has walked the earth, hunting vampires and protecting the innocent. He even pretended to be a vampire for hundreds of years so that his twin, Gabriel (Dark Legend), would hunt him and not turn vampire. The only thing that kept him from meeting the dawn was the thought that his life mate was out there somewhere, waiting for him... Jaxx was not at all what Lucian had envisioned in his life mate. Carpathian women are tall, slender with raven hair and jewel bright eyes, Jaxx is short with short blonde hair and a spunky attitude. Sparks definitely fly when Lucian carries Jaxx off to the safety of his mansion, telling all of her acquaintances that he is her fiance. Jaxx fears Lucian, but, deep in her heart, she knows that she can trust him. However, she also knows that her stepfather will start hunting Lucian if he doesn't let her go soon and she cannot bear to have another person killed on her account. She tries her best to protect Lucian, but he doesn't seem to understand the danger. Lucian is not sure what to make of Jaxx. He is the most powerful of his kind and it is almost laughable that this little human thinks she can protect him from anything. Both sides will have to adjust their thinking as they fall deeper and deeper in love and Jaxx comes to terms with being a Carpathian life mate! | ||
