A Wings in the Night novella!
Anna Seville gets the worst news a patient can get. She is dying. As she’s reeling in shock a kind stranger who seems familiar and dear, advises her to live the life she’s always dreamed of while there is still time.
Diego is a vampire who has isolated himself from the world on his private, tropical island, but he’d heard the call of Anna’s heart that night. On the mainland for supplies he’d felt her devastation and been unable to resist going to her. She is one of the Chosen, a human with the rare blood antigen that enables them to become a vampire. Unless transformed, they die young, as Anna will soon do.
Anna takes the stranger’s advice, quits her job, sells her house, cashes in her savings, and buys a sailboat. She intends to live the rest of her days on the ocean she loves and that is where she wants to die. But months later, when a killer storm destroys her vessel and dumps her into the sea, she suddenly finds she’s not quite ready to surrender to the dying of the light.
Again, Diego hears Anna’s cries reaching into his heart. He reaches her in time to pluck her from the waves, and brings her to his haven to recover.
But Diego is breaking his own vow by bringing another person into his sanctuary. The last time it had been disastrous. And yet Anna’s life is dwindling. He can’t deny her what she wants during the final days of her existence. And what she wants…is him.
