***The Revised and Expanded Edition***
How many years did I drag my ass from one small town to another, singing and bartending to make ends meet? I've lost count. As a matter of fact, I lost every memory of my life before the age of seventeen. And that's not even the weirdest part. At night, in my dreams, I'm guided by a drop-dead gorgeous, panty-wetting fantasy who makes my body sing and claims to be my Guardian.
When the stunning man miraculously shows up on my doorstep, I don't know whether to jump his bones or shoot him in the head. But the second his lips touched mine; it triggered an explosion of suppressed memories I was better off not knowing. And the things that go bump in the night? Yeah, those are real, and apparently, I'm some prophesied bringer of peace to all the monsters.
Not sure what dickwad wrote that thing, but this girl can't even get through her day without coffee. How the hell does Mr. Tall Dark And Handsome expect me to face off with my greatest fear and embrace my so-called destiny?
We are so screwed.

This is a carefully revised and expanded edition of the novel that was first published in September 2018.
Warning: Intended for mature audiences. Full-length novel. Can be read as a standalone, but for better continuity, it's best to read the prequel, FORSAKEN STORM, first.

This book is a revised and expanded edition of the one originally published in 2018 and I still did not want it to end. Picked up the book and couldn’t put it down, dinner and sleep became a victim of my need to finish, well worth it.
Nicole Tiana Giordano has been running since she was seventeen with no idea who or what she is running from. Her memories of her life start at seventeen with no memory of her life before. It was her dream man who kept her safe despite him not being real. She is a girl who has locked her thoughts behind walls that even her dream man can’t knock down. When her dream man suddenly stops showing up, she resorts to the only thing that keeps her whole, pain. Her visits to a BDSM club and the pain she receives keeps her going. Sex is not included in her visits only pain.
Logan is a vampire and Nicole’s dream man who has watched over her and protected her from her father the king of vampires, Dimitri. Nicole always assumed Dimitri was her stepfather, but Logan is about to turn her life upside down when he confesses to what he is and what she will become. The first time Logan looked in on her as a child he knew she was his mate and would give his life to save hers. Dimitri is a tyrant without an ounce of compassion or empathy and Nicole according to an old prophecy will have to bring him down.
When Logan appears at Nicole’s door, and she realizes he is real, her memories of her childhood come rushing back, years of sexual and physical abuse by Dimitri that left her mentally damaged. Learning that he is her biological father and that she is a halfling who will transition to a vampire able to walk in the sun and eat regular food and have all the powers Dimitri possesses was overwhelming. Logan has kept her hidden from Dimitri who according to the prophecy can’t kill her or he would die himself but torturing her for eternity is his goal.
Logan is deeply in love with Nicole and although she craves him, she refuses to allow him into her mind, pain is something she needs but her submission is only in bed. Logan is a Dom and is ready, willing and able to give her everything she needs, pain plus love if only she will accept him. With the help of his brother Sebastian and other paranormals they watch over Nicole until she discovers who they are and feels betrayed.
There will be a battle between father and daughter, evil versus good, and the outcome will determine whether peace between species and humans will be the new future or will the tyranny Dimitri rules with continue. Is there a future for Nicole and Logan if Nicole is unwilling to let down her walls and allow him in, of course, it depends on who wins the battle.
Betrayal, lies, secrets, surprises, BDSM and incest. I absolutely loved this book and became invested in Nicole and Logan and the HEA future I hoped they would have. Nicole lived through Hell and found a way to survive even if desiring pain isn’t for everyone, it worked for her even after all the pain she suffered as a child. I loved how the author created this world that Nicole lived in and the love that Logan and Nicole had for each other, erotic and beautiful.
