Lysander
Condellaire never understood why he had telepathic
and telekinetic powers until the night his
Praetorian father tortured him and left him for
dead. Now, the half-angelic, half-demonic face he
sees in the mirror is a reminder of the monster he
must keep hidden or face expulsion from the order of
assassins know as the Sicari. But his dreams of
Ancient Rome hint at a destiny he finds hard to
accept, especially when it involves the woman he
loves, but can never have.
The consequences of desire.
A gifted
healer in the Order, Phaedra DeLuca witnessed her
mother’s murder when she was just a little girl. The
haunting memory makes her loathe everything
Praetorian. When she travels to Rome in search of an
ancient artifact, she must work alongside a man who
once cruelly rejected her love and healing touch.
But her dreams of Ancient Rome tell of an
irreversible and possibly dangerous future. For the
distant past and present are about to collide--with
the one man she is destined to love.
“If I had to compare Lysander and Phaedra
to another couple from the world of paranormal romance,
it would be to Bella and Zsadist. Yeah, I went there!”
