Using his newfound mental and physical strengths, Miles rescues Lara, and they discover that their connection while awake is just as heated as the one they experienced in their dreams.

LUCKY IN LOVE
A man reunites with his estranged family and finds forever love in One Lucky Vampire by Lynsay Sands. On his 18th birthday, Jake Colson got the shock of his life when he learned that his family members are blood-sucking immortals. Despite his love for them, Jake can’t help but see them as monsters—and himself as one when, years later, he is involuntarily turned. Jake retreats from his relatives to come to grips with his new identity, but responds to an old friend’s request when dire accidents befall artist Nicole Phillips. Undercover as her cook/housekeeper, Jake moves into Nicole’s house to act as her bodyguard. Though attracted to the hunky guy in her kitchen, almost-divorced Nicole is wary—men have never been good to her. But Jake is driven to convince her he’s different. After confiding in Nicole about his immortality and his certainty about the passion they can share, Jake begins to rethink what makes a “monster.” When things get even more dangerous, Jake’s family rallies to the couple’s defense, offering the perfect opportunity for reconciliation. But what about the murderer, who’s watching and waiting? A paranormal pleaser.
